Troubleshooting Motor Issues

[ferp420]

Hey, My RC helicopter's motor seems to be acting up – it's not running as smoothly as before. Any advice on troubleshooting motor issues? What should I check for, and how can I fix it? Thanks for the help!

Check the connections and make sure there's no debris in the motor. Lubricate the bearings if needed. If the issue persists, consider replacing the motor. It's a common wear-and-tear item, and a new one can significantly improve performance. Good luck!

I had a similar issue, and it turned out to be a loose pinion gear. Make sure all the gears are properly aligned and tightened. Also, check for any unusual sounds while the motor is running; it could indicate a problem with the gears.
