Mavic Mini front motor repair

The front engine runs very unevenly and there was also a scratching sound. The drone could fly, but it made more sense to replace the motor.

FINALLY SOMEONE SHOWING A MOTOR REPLACEMENT AND NOT A WHOLE ARM REPLACEMENT

[@mr.existential3797]

Ikr, Jesus I was just gonna give up 😭 on my poor mini 2

[@jeremyboyce1537]

Well I had to change a Motor at one time too but because the Arm was broken and wouldn't stay in place when I glued it back , I decided to buy the Arm with the Motor and Install it but normally , if the Motor is gone and the Arms are good , just change the Motor ! It is cheaper !!!

[@jeremyboyce1537]

​@@mr.existential3797, you can't give up on a Mini-2 !!!!

I just repaired my DJI MIni 2 drone with this method. Thank you! This guy is a pro so it will take you much longer if you are like me and know nothing and have zero experience. (0:46) Step 1 of removing the panel on the arm took me a half-hour. Be careful! the arm is fragile. You are basically cutting the panel out (1:13) (2:12) Step 2 be very careful cutting the wires. There is a fourth grey wire for the arm LED light you don't want to cut. (1:46) Step 3 Remove round foam under the motor. This foam is highly fragile. I tore my foam (2:33) Soldering. This guy is a pro, but as someone who has never soldered before and bought a soldering iron for this project, this wasn't easy and took me over 2 hours. Make sure you put the heat shrink on the wires before soldering. (I noticed he didn't show the whole process.) I wish I was paying attention and used tweezers like him. These wires are tiny people. Maybe if I had real flux instead of the free hard resin flux from the kit it would have gone better. (4:00) I would suggest testing the motor before closing everything up. I did a test flight and noticed a weird, bad vibration if I put any strain on the motors. I thought the entire replacement project was a failure, but this was because the panel was still off. To put the panel on, you are going to need to use plastic epoxy or super glue, that is why he puts clamps on.

Good evening, the DJI Mini 2 motor rotates in the same direction!?! or does each motor rotate in such a direction as each arm? I'm about to replace two engines in my Mini 2, Yes Brazil

[@briantucker5322]

@@FUMACADRONES the motors are just motors.. (no left of right) the drone controls the direction they turn

Встал такой же вопрос,смотрел видео с разборкой дрона,напрягся,но случайно увидел ваше видео.Большое спасибо за видео оригинального способа замены двигателя.Дрон новый,с самого начала клинит один мотор,наверное брак,немного раскрутишь пальцем и полетели,но всё равно лучше заменить.Теперь вдохновленный вашим способом,займусь ремонтом.Спасибо.

[@user-cs7fy6ky9c]

Не нужно ничего менять, чашки легко выровнять по центральной оси. Если клинит то там просто грязь и нужно просто продуть и промыть. Такие дефекты возникают после транспортировки где происходит чрезмерное нажатие на чашки. Я купил дрон с рук и там все чашки восьмерят, выправил все отлично летает .... Хотя уже заказал новые движки, теперь просто лежат в запасе.

[@denscorpio4666]

Спасибо,буду иметь ввиду,просто не хотелось бы применять силу к таким хрупким вещам.Сейчас просто перед каждым полётом немного раскручиваю рукой проблемную чашку.Дефект заклинивания проявляется только зимой и причина этому туго набитая смазка. @@user-cs7fy6ky9c

[@jeremyboyce1537]

I did the same Repair to one of my Mini-2 's last couple Months and it is flying nice again ! There are three Mini-2's in my Arsenal and i fly the heck of them !!!😂

Show, belo trabalho, chegando pra prestigiar o canal, sucesso pra vc.

[@jeremyboyce1537]

I Personally think the Mini-2, is the best thing since slice bread !!!!!

[@siddharthwarvatkar1004]

Very helpful .... Same problem happen with my mavic mini..... Thankyou for this video ....

[@heshiebee]

Thanks for this! Are all the motors the same? Does it matter if i buy a back one for a front arm?

[@technico5880]

I am not sure if all motors are the same but opposite motors (same prop rotation) are the same. I also used a Front motor. But I have the theory that all motors are the same and they only change the wiring for 2 of them in order to get the CW and CCW rotation.

[@robertohuerta6811]

What size is the shrink tube?

[@GSM87]

Thanks for share!

[@BaaquliBoy1]

V. Helpfull thank you. I have a probelm with my dji mini2 ( power system hardware error ? Will u help me to solve pls ?

[@user-sj5ex6kl7l]

Hi I got mine sparky in the front engine… is it the same issue?

[@roberth2747]

Mavic Air 2s would be the same way just change the motor not the whole arm?

[@powell279]

Nice .. but not a repair but a replacement!

[@chenakos]

I have exactly the same issue with my Mini SE. Why is this done? A faulty motor? I presume it is dangerous...

[@technico5880]

The motor was not running smoth, that's the reason for the replacement.

[@chenakos]

I see. Do you know the reason this is happening?

[@hkgeek2408]

which motor[model] did you use to replace the drone motor?

[@jameslawyer2993]

Hey what are the clamps at the end for

[@technico5880]

I applied glue to the foam. The clamps should hold the foam in place and apply the necessary pressure

[@diyirlrpg]

Where can I get just a new motor and not whole arm? First time trying to fly it inside and it kept drifting off to the side and slightly bumped into the wall and auto shut off (error: motor unable to spin) flee it seemingly fine outside after that. But today I flew it again and when hovering or moving slowly it looks like it's losing torque every second or so as u can see the whole drone slightly and quickly tilting

[@technico5880]

I got my motors from an already used Mavic Mini. You can find plenty of this broken arms with an old motor attached that still runs even and smoothly and will otherwise end up in the trash. But there are also some (for example "Chinese") sellers, who offer you the motor only, for around 10 dollars each. Did you change your propellers after the crash?

[@diyirlrpg]

@@technico5880 no its was really soft hit tho.. and then it felt like 1 feet onto my bed. Could that screw up a motor that easily?

[@technico5880]

@@diyirlrpg I don't think so, provided the accident actually happened on soft ground. However, check that the motors are still running smoothly and recalibrate the sensors on a flat surface. That might help

[@mr.existential3797]

What’s that heating tool called for to remove the exterior part from the wires?

[@technico5880]

What do you mean? The solder iron?

[@mr.existential3797]

@@technico5880 I thinks so, is it the like little metal pen to cut the wires?

@@mr.existential3797 I think you mean the knife, it's a simple knife, not heated to remove the isolation
