How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
You must first identify the damaged part of your motor before you can fix it. It is easy to do this by removing the propeller shaft from the motor shaft. Then remove any wires and take a look at the motor's inner workings. If you see something wrong, then you know what part of the motor you have to fix.
If the motor is in good condition, you shouldn't worry. But if it looks like one of the images below, you will need to replace parts before you can fly again.
Imagine that the motor has become bent to the point it will not turn. The motor will need to be bent back into its original shape. To hold the motor in place, you can use a pair or vice grips. After you've completed the above, ensure that you inspect the motor for signs and wear.
Once everything looks good, you can put the propeller back on the motor shaft. Then, reattach the wires. Now you are ready to fly your drone!
