Chris, My EVO 2 is needing the front arm replaced. I have the parts . My skill set for this repair don't mesh well 😢. Do you repair these for hire? I'm in NC. Thanks Tom

[@QCGUY]

@@tompace6916 I do these more than anything these days. Email me @ [e-mail] and I’ll get you my shipping information. 👍🏻

I am keen to see your first “you know which drone I’m on about” video! I tried mine yesterday.....hooo-leee-sh*****t!

[@johnbrantingham6749]

First class video, you have the patience of a Saint. Are you an Electrical Engineer?. Stay safe.

[@QCGUY]

Thanks...I do a little of everything and get lucky. lol I have always been a fixer of whatever breaks from a career standpoint to all things home related and car repairs. I had a good teacher @ my Dad university 🧡

Thanks for the videos chris, i just picked up the evo 2 pro last week and you are PARTIALLY responsible. 😂

[@naveedmaqbool]

I am ordering one tomorrow and he is fully responsible.

Dear Chris, congratulations for your excellent work, dedication and patience helping many people to maintain their Autel Evo 2, I've watched your two Autel Evo Videos and I was impressed with your tranquility in doing this maintenance on the Drone Autel Evo 2, I'm Brazilian and here we do not have Technical assistance for Autel Evo, I would like to count on your help to buy spare parts for my Autel Evo 2 Pro, such as Circuit board and mini flex cable, you would contact us by E-mail for me to send you pictures of what I need?, one more writing, thank you very much for your attention, have a great week

[@QCGUY]

I don’t sell the parts sorry

[@joepowers3731]

Great job

[@JSKCKNIT]

Nice tutorial. They do a really nice build keeping it clean inside.

[@ferney082]

Super mi amigo el reemplazo de ese brazo del EVO 2 estuvo genial....Me gustaria para un proximo video como se reemplaza uno o los dos sensores de ultrasonido cuando estos fallan o se estropean por falla del componente electrónico o por un golpe fortuito solamente en esta parte o sector... Gracias y saludos desde COLOMBIA ... 👏👏👏👏👋🤝👍

[@malcyjb]

Hi, does the antenna cable just lay along the inside of the left rear leg... do you know if if this would be the same for the EVO 1, I have both the 2 and 1 but was considering and experiment on the EVO 1 by adding a small WiFi type antenna to the cable end and mounting it so it stuck up vertically from the arm, hopefully adding a bit better signal response. Everyone tries to improve the signal from the controller end, I want to try from the drone end... good video, hope I dont need it... well, apart from perhaps removing the leg... Cheers

[@QCGUY]

In the foot of the front...

[@OlegLyt]

Thank you for the video. Please tell me which connector on the antenna cable is Ipex 1 or Ipex 4?

[@QCGUY]

Ipex 4

[@BradlyFackrell]

Thanks for the video! I could not have done this without you. Any idea why my motor will not spin after replacing the leg? I completely disassembled and checked all connections, wires, and solders. All *looks* good.

[@sickBARRS]

Hey man would there be any easy way to pull 5V from this drone to power an external equipment such as a parrot sequoia?

[@TheDronzDr]

Hi QC, I replaced the right front arm. Everything went well on the repaired arm, but when I turned the drone on the camera did not go in the calibration mode. It did nothing . Then I turn the transmitter on and then the drone. Transmitter would not connect and the drone camera did nothing didn't move a bit when turn on. Any suggestions

[@QCGUY]

Sorry late reply but when you take something like this apart it’s very easy to forget to attach something, not attach it fully or doing damage. Did you figure it out?

[@TheDronzDr]

@@QCGUY Yes I did. I took it apart and found the little ribbon on the bottom of the board not connected. That was the hardest ribbon to connect back. Put it all back together and the camera work great 👍 thanks for the video.

[@QCGUY]

@@TheDronzDr that’s great news!

[@AstroNootFPV]

Does this void the warranty?

[@QCGUY]

Yes but if you have the ability it’s cheaper and faster then shipping it off to Autel and no refurbished quad in return like they usually do. Fixing them myself also gies me piece of mind that it’s done right.👍🏻

[@AstroNootFPV]

@@QCGUY Got it! I broke the right leg off of mine and I gotta fix it myself.

[@ifix4u2]

I Have the same exact problem. My drone fell 40 some feet from the sky, took out, as you're facing the drone front, the right front arm, I think it damaged the gimble assembly as well. Can you give me some idea of what it would cost to repair?

[@QCGUY]

Best to email me... thanks [e-mail]

Hi, do you know where I can order the shoulder spring? I don't know if mine is broken, but front left arm broke close to the motor. thanks for your reply!

[@danwarrington2508]

QC Guy...I am trying to repair the front arm. I am having difficult getting the solder to melt on the board? Have you had this issue?

[@QCGUY]

It’s all in the tools you use… Soldering iron isn’t hot enough usually.

[@danwarrington2508]

@@QCGUY Ok I have tried to different soldering and rework stations. no luck

[@QCGUY]

@@danwarrington2508 did you get all the silicone off as well. Dab a little flux on the joints and see if that helps loosen up the solder when you put your iron on it.

[@danwarrington2508]

@@QCGUY Yes got all silicone off and scraped to make sure no resin was present.

[@QCGUY]

@@danwarrington2508 don’t know what to tell you without seeing what you’re doing. I repair drones daily and don’t have s problem with this part. Sorry I wish I could further.

[@chrisnakovski3684]

Oh man I just crashed my Evo 2 pro and am about to undertake this repair journey. Autel was of no help with their warranty and offered not fix it for a price biting the heels of a new drone. The camera is not cheap... Also the black plastic strip over the front OA sensors is impossible to find online

[@QCGUY]

I find everything on eBay just not camera parts.
