Re: Carbon Spinner with the bolt in center?
Been using one a 150cc Pilot-RC Yak and it is great. I put a couple drops of RC-56 canopy glue on the backplate to keep the cone from moving on the backplate. No need to overtighten the center bolt.

Re: Carbon Spinner with the bolt in center?
Got mine from Azure hobby. All pre-cut and ready to bolt-on. Have it on a 50cc gasser with about 20 flights. Not a single sign of it moving. Just the short end of the allen wrench with thumb and index. No more torque needed.
LOVE IT !!!

Re: Carbon Spinner with the bolt in center?
I had a 4.5" move on my 3W106 and shear the prop bolts after three flights. I cost me a spinner and a prop. A buddy had his 5" do the same thing on a 3W157. I do have a 5" that has been fine on my DA-100. I found that the contact point for the backplate to spinner can be very slippery with the finish coat of epoxy that is applied. I sanded the inside of the backplate and outside of the spinner to roughen it up a bit and that helped.

Re: Carbon Spinner with the bolt in center?
I know you asked about a 150 but I've been using one on a DA 100 for a few months now with not one issue (troyBuilt/Graphtech)

Re: Carbon Spinner with the bolt in center?
I've got one of the AZure on my 50cc and I've got one of the old R/C blimp ones on my 157.
Both appear to be holding up fine.
