How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
You must first identify the damaged part of your motor before you can fix it. This is easiest to do by removing the propeller from its shaft. Then remove any wires and take a look at the motor's inner workings. If you spot something wrong, you can identify which part of the motor needs to be fixed.
If there is no damage to the motor, then you don't have to worry too much however if the motor looks like one of these images below, then you'll need to replace some components before you can fly again.
Suppose a motor has been bent up so it won't turn anymore. The motor must be bent again. To hold the motor in place, you can use a pair or vice grips. After this is done, you should inspect the motor carefully for any signs or wear.
Once everything looks good, you can put the propeller back on the motor shaft. Then, reattach the wires. Your drone is now ready for flight!
