        Step 3: Disconnect Motor from ESC

        • Locate the Motor ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) and loosen it using 4 hex head screws (3mm).

        • There are 2 screws on the top and 2 on the bottom that hold the esc to the bracket.

          (Picture shown below).

        • Now that the ESC is removed from the bracket, disconnect the motor from the ESC by unplugging the 3 wires that connect the motor to the ESC (Yellow, Orange, Blue)

        • Note the position of the yellow connector as it determines motor rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise).

         

        Step 4: Remove The Motor

        • Remove the motor by unscrewing the 4 hex head screws (6mm) located under the mounting bracket that hold the motor to the arm of the drone.

        • Ensure to keep the washers that come off with the motor.

         

        Step 5: Install New Motor

        • Position the new motor, ensuring cables are at the end of the arm.

        • Reinsert the 6mm hex head screws and apply new Loctite before tightening the Motor back to the motor mounting bracket.

         

        Step 6: Reconnect Motor Cables to ESC 

        • Reconnect the Motor cables to the ESC correctly, depending on whether that motor should be wired as CW or CCW. Use the picture on the side of the ESC to determine what color plug goes where.

        Step 8: Reinstall Propellers

        • Ensure the bottom gasket is in place.

        • Install the propellers with the Clock Wise(CW) or Counter Clock Wise (CCW) indicator facing upwards.

        Step 10: Tighten Propellers

        • Tighten the propeller bolts (6mm hex heads) ensuring equal tension between them.

        • Ensure propellers do not move freely when the motor is turned.

        • Label connectors and screws if necessary to avoid confusion during reassembly.
