How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
You must first identify the damaged part of your motor before you can fix it. The easiest way to do this is to remove the propeller 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 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.
Consider a motor that has become bent and won't turn. The motor must be bent again. To hold the motor, use a vice grip or pair of pliers. Once you've done this, make sure to check the motor thoroughly for signs of wear.
Once everything is fine, place the propeller onto the motor shaft. You are now ready for your drone to fly.
