    Did you change the motor wires to the ESC?

        Try switching up the wires from the Speed Control to the Motor.

            Did you switch from a left hand to a right hand prop?

                Take a close look at the blade angle. The CF45 may have been a clockwise rotation whereas the 440/3 will be the opposite.

                  Man no offense or anything, i cant help my self to not say this but please, shape up on the spelling and grammer here on the boards.


                  Thank you



                  Sounds like to me you bought a prop that is made to be rotated in the other direction.
                  Quick and easy fix would be to swap your ESC wires going to your motor.
                  Swap the yellow and the blue.

                          after glancing at the propellors availible here at ose...I am inclined to think that your cf 2 blade is the culprit(methinks it is a k45l as opposed to k45r. would suggest that you get right hand props in the future to help avoid having the propshaft un raval/propnut spinning off etc.
                          as for the off topic comments...some of them were inappropriate for a family oriented board.
