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. To do this, remove the propeller and motor shaft. Then remove any wires and take a look at the motor's inner workings. If you notice something amiss, you'll know what part of your motor to fix.
You don't need to worry if there's no damage to your motor. However, a motor that looks like the one below will require you to replace certain components before you can fly again.
Imagine a motor that isn't turning anymore because it has been bent. This means that you will need to bend the motor back into shape. To hold the motor, use a vice grip or pair of pliers. After you have completed this step, be sure to inspect the motor for any signs of wear.
Once everything looks good, you can put the propeller back on the motor shaft. Then, reattach the wires. You are now ready for your drone to fly.
