Default Do i need an uprated front prop?

When we took the front prop off to remove my gearbox we noticed that it had nearly snapped on the knuckle Im just wondering if this is common and if anyone makes such a thing as an uprated front prop

my esc cos did that mate but i did not catch it in time, it ripped off the diff battered the downpipe and bit of the bulkhead, quite lucky the anti roll bar was there as it would have dug into the ground and god knows what would have happened

i would have thought it would have gone at the star centre piece but no straight through the arms at the knuckle
