Luckily, there are several preventative measures that you can take to ensure that your drone remains within its range. First, you should update the firmware of your controller or transmitter to the FCC's or CE's recommended range. You can then add an antenna extender, or a better receiver.

How To

How to Repair a Damaged Motor on a Drone

You must first identify the damaged part of your motor before you can fix it. To do this, remove the propeller and motor shaft. Next, remove all wires from the motor shaft and inspect the internal workings. If you notice something amiss, you'll know what part of your motor to fix.

If there are no damages to the motor you don't have too much to worry about. However, if your motor looks anything like these images, then you will need some parts replaced before you can fly.

Imagine a motor that isn't turning anymore because it has been bent. You will need to bend it back into shape. To hold the motor, use a vice grip or pair of pliers. After this is done, you should inspect the motor carefully for any signs or wear.

Once everything is fine, place the propeller onto the motor shaft. You are now ready for your drone to fly.
