I've run out of avan props for the smart 35, while i wait for the next boat from China i have bought some lower pitched props locally. (3.5x2x3) do i need to worry about changing the tune in the meantime, i figure the motors will run a bit faster but with less torque so should be ok?
You won't need to change the tune, though the quad will handle a bit differently. The throttle generally feels a bit less aggressive with lower pitched props. Many pilots try out several different models and pitches of props to find their favorite.
Edit: due to how the flight controller balances thrust using the gyroscope, you can even fly with mismatched props and motors on the quad. Not really relevant to your situation but still interesting: https://hackaday.com/2017/01/25/frankenquad-takes-to-the-air/.

Thanks, honestly this thing has an absolutely insane amount of go in it, so it should still be plenty fast.
I have flown my hex on 5 props before after it had a mid air whoopsie, it sounded angry but flew surprisingly well
