Protocol Slipstream WiFi Propeller Replacement

Introduction

If your Protocol Slipstream WiFi (model number 6182-3MXB) has a broken propeller on it, use this guide to replace the propeller. The propeller is what makes the device actually produce the air that lifts the device off the ground. If the propeller is broken the device will not lift off the ground correctly. Be careful not to replace the propeller with the device turned on. The propeller spins very fast and can be potentially harmful. The Slipstream WiFi has 4 propellers on it and each propeller is labeled with a 3 or a 4. Make sure to look at the top of the propeller and check the number and match it up to the new propeller that you have before you begin with the replacement.
