Hmmm, well I may have been a little to hard on those motors but they must be fairly easy to break then. Is there a easy way that I can fix these motors? I’d rather not wait 4 weeks for a new motor.

I am mounting them using the normal mounting holes and the screws that came with them. I made sure that the screws are not touching the windings on the frame.

For my first quad, I decided to build a 450 and go with some cheap Emax xa2212 980kv motors (starting to regret this now :(). I have simonK 25A ESC's and an APM 2.6 my props are APC 10 x 4.5. When I first put together my quadcopter I got it all working and then all of a sudden the motor started...

@ringolong So does this mean I have to get a new battery with less Amps? or Less C's? What size do you suggest that I use?

@ringolong https://imgur.com/a/ue8dq Just a lot more errors come up when I do that to the battery And doesn't the ESC's control the power to the motor so that it is not to much?

@ringolong That just gave me a lot more errors. Do you understand what the error message means? I think that it is saying that to much power is being sent to the motor but I'm not really sure.

@ringolong Yes

So recently I put my quadcopter into ECalc just to see what it would say and I am getting an error. Error: max. power over the limit of the motor. Please check the max. power limits defined by the manufacturer! (electric Power: 372.3 W > Limit (up to 15s): 185 W) I have attached some pictures...

Ok, I can't seem to find the break in any of the wires. Should I try to find a place that can re-wind my motors for me?

Ok thanks, Now I just have to try to find the disconnection. Does anyone have a diagram on what wires are going where so I know where to look?

Ok, so how am I supposed to re-solder the wires if I cant get to them? Also, I just checked and my screws don't hit the motor coils. I don't have a servo tester but when I try the motor in a working ESC it still doesn't work so I know that its the motor.

Also, Earlyer someone was talking about the screws scraching? How would that even happen since the coils turn with the motor? The Picture above shows the motor. I am Kinda confused on how to solder any broken wire strands that are in there since the bottom piece is in the way. How would I remove...

The Motors were not hot when I checked them. They Feel Normal When I spin them By Hand. I Did some research and it said If I put two wires together and spin the motor it will spin less freely then when 2 wires are not connected. So I tried this and when I put motor wires 1 and 2 together and...

So just recently I put together my very first drone. I had a couple of flights and then 1 of my motors started shaking back and forth. I Un-Armed the motors straight away and then I went and checked the connections. It looked like the motor had a lost connection so I went ahead and fixed the...

Ok My flight controllers have built-in BEC so I think i'll use that for now and then later ill get a 5-volt regulator https://www.banggood.com/CRIUS-SBEC-5V-5A-Switch-Voltage-Stabilizer-BECUBEC-for-APM-Pixhawk-p-1142098.html?rmmds=search

So I just looked into it more and it looks like the flight controller gets its power from the esc's. Would I be Correct to assume that?

Hello, I am building my very first drone and I am super excited but I have 1 problem so far. My flight controller(apm 2.8) comes with a power cable but I'm not sure how to wire it to my power distribution board. Apm 2.8 with cables: https://i.imgur.com/YyM896E.png Power Distribution Board...

ok thanks, any compass recommendations? or GPS recommendations?

Wow, those are both pretty expensive. What if I use apm2.8 instead of apm2.6 Since Banggood ships apm2.8 to Canada. It offer's me 2 options on the site: With compass or without? The with compass option is out of stock so could I just order without a compass and buy an external compass?
