How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
You must first identify the damaged part of your motor before you can fix it. 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 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.
Imagine that the motor has become bent to the point it will not turn. The motor must be bent again. To hold the engine, use a pair pliers or a vice grip. After you have completed this step, be sure to inspect the motor for any signs of wear.
Once everything looks good, you can put the propeller back on the motor shaft. Then, reattach the wires. Now your drone is ready to fly!
