Are you saying that flight boards have a lifespan? Obviously so for motors but I'm not sure I've every heard that you only get so many flights on the board. It's possible something is wrong with it but I didn't think they wear out. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If it is the board, it's...

It would not be the electronics that would be ruined. Most solid-state circuit boards can be run through a dishwasher (and many are). Plastics would also be a candidate for soap and water, along with wiring and everything else. Motors might not come back, but even then with a good flush...

I have a Syma X8C (as do many others) and I love it. But, as holtneil says, all brushed motors have a limited lifespan. Hopefully you didn't order just one motor - you bought a set of at least four. They will all need to be replaced, eventually, and if you put enough hours on it...

Can I ask what you were flying before you got the Bugs 3, and is this your first brushless quad? The reason I'm asking is that I feel like I'm getting pretty good flying my Syma X5C and X8C and it won't be long before I want something better (faster, more grin-inducing). It seems like the...

My apologies if this belongs in another forum. Some other forums I belong to in other hobbies have a section devoted to "Look what showed up on eBay/Craigslist" and whether it looks authentic, is it a good deal, or anybody looking for one of these? This showed up on eBay and I assumed that...

I'm new here and I introduced myself in the "Introductions" section and got a warm welcome. Thanks to all. When I bought my first toy quadcopter I was not aware that the motors have a limited lifespan. Fortunately I'm fairly technical, know how to solder and have the right equipment...

Allow me to introduce myself and tell my story. I'm 60 years old but still enjoy my toys and hobbies. Most of them are somewhat technical (electrical/mechanical) but I had never flown one of these "drones" that so many people were talking about. I bought a cheap Radio Shack remote control car...
