How To

How to Repair a Damaged Motor on a Drone

It is important to first identify which motor part is damaged before you can repair it. This is easiest to do by removing the propeller from its shaft. Next, remove all wires from the motor shaft and inspect the internal workings. If you notice something amiss, you'll know what part of your motor to fix.

If the motor has not been damaged, it is safe to fly again.

Consider a motor that has become bent and won't turn. The motor must be bent again. To hold the engine, use a pair pliers or a vice grip. After you're done, check your motor for signs of wear.

Once you're satisfied that everything's ok, put the propeller back onto the motor shaft and reattach the wires. Your drone is now ready to fly!
