I have received a set of Propel Combat Helos and 2 Propel drones from my sister as Christmas gifts over the past couple of years. We have enjoyed the combat helos as they have worked reasonably well. However we broke one of the arms on the Zip nano drone and super glue did not work on that plastic as it broke again on the first landing. Will JB Weld or some other glue work? She also sent me a HD Video Drone but it was DOA right out of the box. She bought it several months ago from Home Shopping Network but just recently sent it to me. After opening the box and setting it up I found that one of the props does not spin. That motor has a stripped pinion gear on the motor shaft with broken teeth. Obviously this was a crashed drone that had been returned. I hate to trash everything so is there a way to get a replacement pinion gear? Propel is next to impossible to contact and I don't want to buy a $20 replacement motor if all I need is a 2 cent plastic gear. I went to my local RC hobby shop and they did not have anything obvious that would work. I have the drone apart and can replace the gear or motor if necessary. Will Syma or Parrot gear sets that are on Ebay work on this drone?
Is there a better forum for these sort of questions?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide to me.
