My betafpv air75 motor shaft broke off and I bought 4 new motors. I tried soldering it on and now 2 of the 4 motors don’t work. What do I do?

bit weird that they dont turn on at all, but check the motor mapping in betaflight

They turn on for a bit

covert jewel May 4, 2025, 4:45 PM

#

then check the motor mapping in betaflight, its under a tab called reorder motors iirc

#

then check that the spin direction is correct

covert jewel then check that the spin direction is correct

doesnt have anything to do with motor direction

we can't see either

#

wtf is happening its beeping rapidly

#

and going crazy

cinder stratus May 4, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

#

stop fucking plugging it in

#

and frying something

#

before confirming you didn't absolutely botch the soldering

idk if i did

looks like some wire is touching that capacitor(?)

#

cant see shit though, get a zoomed in pic of the connections you did

#

i fixed it all and it still dont work

#

ima just get new one

restive valve

yeah that solder is fucked

#

gotta give it to you thats impressivley bad

vestal sable May 5, 2025, 4:55 AM

#

the beeping is probably from the fc recognizing the motors arent spinning

#

i got a batch of motors from betafpv like that

#

try spinning the bad ones, if they spin with more resistance compared to the other ones there may be glue or something in them

#

then in that case, manually spin it with your hand until it loosens up

#

its sounds like +1 to bad things i've heard from betafpv, but also could just be bad soldering lol

restive valve May 5, 2025, 4:50 PM

#

twilit schooner gotta give it to you thats impressivley bad

my dad did it because I know nothing about soldering

#

and he is also bad

#

how do i avoid this next time

cinder stratus May 5, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

learn how to solder

#

buy good equipment

#

buy practice boards

#

learn how to use your phone camera

restive valve May 5, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

cinder stratus learn how to solder

ok

restive valve May 5, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

cinder stratus buy good equipment

have it

restive valve May 5, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

cinder stratus buy practice boards

dont have it

restive valve May 5, 2025, 5:05 PM
