After an excrutiating wait, I finally got my replacement propellers. As @stewe12 said, they are unbalanced and just horrible. I tried my first flight with spinners on. Halfway through the take off, one of the spinners flew away and the Tello crashed and the motors smelled like burned electronics. I left them to cool down and tried again without the spinners. The props are so unbalanced, it made the Tello spin out into the sofa. Worthless. I demand my $1.22 back!

Very interesting. I am about to get extra batteries for my tello, so I won't mind the minute decrease in flight time. So for more stable flight but around a minute less flight time, go with these?
75mm DIY RC Quadcopter Spare Parts Blade Propeller Prop 2CW+2CCW
But if not concerned about stability and is concerned about flight time, stick with the original design. Is that right?

I would say so. I had feeling, that these props have longer flight times, but I didn't have any times to compare like Ansia.
Simply - I put them on and never took them off. They are that good. Also they don't fly off the motors if you crash indoors, like the original ones.

Ahh yes, I lost a propeller recently after a crash. Good thing I got spares so Im back in the air. So they are that good huh. Nice. Im gonna get a few then.
Thank you for the response, and thanks for these thread. I completely forgot about prop designs and its effect in performance.

I got two sets of them, but still using the first set. No dents, not a single fly off. They also look much better than stock ones.
I like them!
Aliexpress link looks the same. When I was searching for better props, I found only two designs in this size, so chances you will get different props is close to zero

Please let me know when you get them. I am curious on accurate shipping time to U.S. and if they are the correct ones. I ordered a faucet from Ali about a week 1/2 ago. and it's not here yet. Thanks!!
I ordered then earlier today. I expect them to be here in my country in a month. That's the usual turnaround time for my orders from AliExpress.

Thank you! I think I will just go ahead and order them after my faucet arrives. I hope it doesn't take a month for that.
I did find them on Amazon and eBay but they are clearly just dropped shipped from China...Same thing, takes a month or more.
