Sky Drone V2 new gears source

[DotnetWorker]

The gear teeth shredded on one rotor.
26mm diameter - 4mm inner
2mm width
9mm inner shaft height

I think 64 teeth (approx.)
Anyone know any sources for replacements?

I would go to the seller and see if they have a part list and if they then order one. If not then I would go to eBay and did a search there.

Post the full name of the Quad and I will try and help you. I have the time for that. Where did you buy it that might help me to.

Its this one - http://www.menkind.co.uk/sky-drone-pro-v2-black
I've emailed the online store, but not holding my breath, they haven't had spare legs that they do list since Christmas.

I think it a off brand of Syma but I don't if it is the X5 or X8 model. Take a picture of the top of your Quad make the other is complete built. That way maybe I know which you have.

Here is a link of your partsbut no gears.

I also have a SYMA X8 and it is smaller than that model by a fraction - it is very similar to the Syma but with cheaper components - not quite a clone!

This? It's hard to say who the actual maker of your quad is.

Why I need that picture to see how the prop's connect I can't tell in those picture. Those look like the prop's are spinning and need them stop.

My eye are not very good and I'm 69 so I'm getting old. SORRY...

It look like Jackson might have found it. I have been in this hobby a short time.

 

[DotnetWorker]

Jackson - yes that looks promising I've put some on order.
Jmdlcar thanks for your help too.

Menkind customer service have responded with the anticipated response:

Thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately we don't sell spare cogs for the drones I'm afraid, I would advise to try somewhere like eBay or Amazon to see if they have any.
Kind regards,
Menkind​

Now I'm just waiting to see what the part is like that comes from Banggood

so the spare cog arrived today. Pictured below is the original with the new one behind.
Sadly it is too big!
26mm vs 30mm outside diameter. Too big to fit the little pinion gear that drives it. ARGH! - I give up for now, if anyone finds one let me know.

Another thread on this forum tipped me off that this quad is also sold as a
Fineco FX-7 FX-7CI FX-7C
Using this information as a clue a new internet search turned up a whole host of spares here:

I've ordered some to see if I can get the thing in the air again.

 

[DotnetWorker]

They arrived today and are exactly the same as the original.
So got the drone is back in the air for a few £ and hours of Googling, rather than it going into landfill

Many thanks DotnetWorker, just got one of these for my birthday as a new to drone flying gift. It was great fun but in confined garden managed to machine off all the teeth on one of the plastic drive gears... I would like it to last a little longer than a couple of days so finding the replacement gears from your link is just the thing. Back in the air in no time I hope!
