Motors
Motor placement is also important for the CoDrone EDU. Like propellers, there are 2
types of motors, indicated by the color of the wires. Motor directions should match
propeller directions.

Inspecting motors
If your drone has issues flying, check propellers first. If the propellers don't seem to be
the issue, check the motors. Motor issues usually result from hard crashes. Here are
common signs that a motor should be replaced.

Blow on the attached
propeller. Look for difficulty
rotating or wobbling during
rotation.
Replacing motors
Replacing motors is an involved process, so
we recommend carefully following our motor
replacement video.
Replacement motors are sold separately.

Check for breakages in
the wiring or bottom
casing. This can happen
from hard crashes.

Remove the drone's bottom

is disconnected from the drone's
board.
