How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
To repair a motor damaged, the first step is to identify which part is broken. The best way to do so is to take the propeller off the motor shaft. Then you should remove any wires attached to the motor and look at the inner workings of the motor itself. If there is something wrong with the motor, you will know which part you need to repair.
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.
Suppose a motor has been bent up so it won't turn anymore. To get the motor to turn again, you'll need to bend it. For this purpose, you could use a vice grip to hold the motor and bend it back into shape. After you've completed the above, ensure that you inspect the motor for signs and wear.
Once you are satisfied with everything, mount the propeller on the motor shaft. Reattach the wires. Your drone is now ready to fly!
