Motor came off when removing propeller

foofyyy · Mar 22, 2021

Hey. I have some rather sad news regarding my Tello that I got at Christmas, and only flew about 10 times.
A propeller broke on it. Not a big deal, right?
Well, when trying to remove the broken propeller, the entire motor came out and the connections going to it got pulled off.
Is there any hope for this drone? Is there a warranty? I do not remember if there was or not, as I am quite forgetful of those things. I purchased my drone via the DJI website with the Boost Pack.

Thanks for reading. This kinda sucks.

Awesome help. Even aware of how to swap motors on tello. I thought that video was exactly what all need to see. Very relaxed and clear. I just enjoyed watching it. Lol. Godspeed

To remove the propellers, I recommend using its key.

Great advice. You should always use the prop removal tool when removing the prop. A friend of mine tried removing a prop by pulling on it, and pulled the motor out.
