How To
Repairing A Damaged Motor Of 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. You should then remove the wires that are attached to the motor, and examine the 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.
Suppose a motor has been bent up so it won't turn anymore. The motor will need to be bent back into its original shape. To hold the engine, use a pair pliers or a vice grip. After you're done, check your motor for signs of wear.
Once everything is in order, attach the propeller to the motor shaft. Now you are ready to fly your drone!
