How To
Repairing A Damaged Drone Motor
It is important to first identify which motor part is damaged before you can repair it. The best way to do so is to take the propeller off the motor shaft. You should then remove the wires that are attached to the motor, and examine the inner workings. If you find something wrong, it is time to identify the problem.
If there are no damages to the motor you don't have too much to worry about. However, if your motor looks anything like these images, then you will need some parts replaced before you can fly.
Suppose a motor has been bent up so it won't turn anymore. You will need to bend it back into shape. You could use a vice grip or a pair of pliers to hold the motor while bending it back into shape. 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. You are now ready for your drone to fly.
