How To
Repairing a damaged motor on a drone
To repair a motor damaged, the first step is to identify which part is broken. The easiest way to do this is to remove the propeller from the motor shaft. Then, you need to remove any wires connected to the motor and inspect its inner workings. If you spot something wrong, you can identify which part of the motor needs to be fixed.
If the motor has not been damaged, it is safe to fly again.
Let's say that a motor is bent so that it can no longer turn. To get the motor to turn again, you'll need to bend it. To hold the motor, use a vice grip or pair of pliers. After this is done, you should inspect the motor carefully for any signs or wear.
Once you are satisfied with everything, mount the propeller on the motor shaft. Reattach the wires. Your drone is now ready for flight!
