Hello, (email to Skydio)
In the Drone Community I can find very old blogs from people trying to replace the motor and others 3D printing propeller clips.
My right front motor and clip are involved here. The motor is ‘half’ OK. The axial shaft bent bad and I snapped it off trying to bend it back.
I have it out and it looks like the shaft is not wanting to push out. I might be able to locate a watchmaker with a lathe to make me a new shaft.
People in the Drone community ask, ‘What is the KV rating for a motor’. Apparently motors with the right screw hole pattern can be found but much concern exists if the Skydio controller board can let the Drone function if only one motor is replaced.
So, it becomes the path of least resistance. Contact Skydio for DIY help!
My Drone is Skydio 2 plus. I do not want it to become a parts drone! I wish to know if I can buy a motor and the right front clip?
I know others would like to know too, where to find a compatible motor and the proper specs to begin the journey.
I thought I would ask Skydio for any help. There is no warranty doing my own repairs and I am not even able to add a care package to this Drone as a repurchaser.
Motor parts? Complete replacement? Specs? RF clip?
Help!
