Replacing motors
If you have a damaged motor or a bent shaft, you can replace it with one of the two extras supplied in the kit.
There are two brushed motor types, counterclockwise and clockwise rotation. Motor rotation and correct
polarity is indicated by the wire color:
●
Counterclockwise motor:
white
(+),
black
(-), grey back plate - for motor 3 and motor 2
●
Clockwise motor:
red
(+),
blue
(-), white black plate - for motor 1 and motor 4
Note: running the motors in their wrong direction will dampen its performance and lifespan.
1. Remove the propeller from the shaft
2. Unsolder the two wires from the main controller board. Take note of which wire goes to each pad, as
this dictates the direction of rotation. The numbers refers to the motor in BetaFlight.
3. Untangle the wires from the arm and use a small screwdriver and push the motor out of its socket.
