Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Motor and Controller

When my Parrot AR2 took a nose dive after being tangled in a tree and caused one of my motors to short out, well, I was dazed. What am I supposed to do now. My drone is down. But I researched extensively and decided to buy this motor. It shipped quickly, and following instructions on YouTube, I'd put it back on, replaced gears and a bent pin and then . . . the first moment of truth. I plugged in the battery and Parrot went through its motor click-on routine. All four were ready to go.Then it was outside. I worried that there would not be parity (no pun intended) between the new motor and the orignal 3. Launch . . . and Parrot was up hovering as always, ready to fly.I have to hand it to the Parrot team who designed this amazing technology. And to the capacity to so easily replace parts that integrate perfectly to keep the Parrot airborne.

tons of fun. Everything about this worked as advertised. It is truly a remarkable device especially for the price. I use it to inspect my roof and gutters without having to climb up there. I have crashed it a few times but it is sturdy and hard to break. I have broken it once but repair parts are easy to order and it is very easy to fix. Only requires two tools to disassemble. Screwdriver and split ring spreader tool. These come in a toolkit you can buy for a modest amount. Highly recommend.

I have both an AR Drone 2.0 I got a year ago and more recently an AR Drone 2.0 Power Edition. My Power Edition copter had an unexpected landing and one of the motors were damaged. Replacing the motor's can be a bit fiddly as you have to find the right angles to move the motor and controller board to get the old one out and new one in.Once I replaced my damaged motor with the new one it worked flawlessly. I received a hardware revision 6 motor which is the same hardware revision of the original motor on my Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Power Edition. This is a more powerful motor than the Hardware revision 5 motors that I had on my original Parrot AR Drone 2.0 I had purchased a year prior. The difference is especially noticeable when doing flips as version 5 motors would always loose altitude while the version 6 stays solid as a rock staying nearly stationary in the air when doing sideways flips.Overall this is a great replacement option for your Parrot AR Drone, though I do feel the price is a little high which is the main reason i'm taking 1 star off. Also I do believe these motors will work on the original Parrot AR Drone 1.0 as well.

Unfortunately, our AR Drone II took on the ceiling fan (running on high) on our covered patio. This caused the front right motor to not properly start up anymore. I ordered the motor and replaced it. It was a quick fix. Six screws and a clip holding the prop to the shaft (I used a pair of needle nose pliers to get the tiny clip off). The Drone is back in the air now.

Would rate zero stars if possible. Thought i was getting a good motor, but when i received this item in the mail, there was glue all over the control board and the central white wire wasnt even soldered, just hanging there. DO NOT BUY !!!

The motor/controller looks exactly like the ones that came with my drone. The motor does exactly what it is supposed to do and has been working consistently for me for a few months now. One gripe I have with the controller is that the circular cut out for the motor is a bit too big. This causes a problem when taking off, because that extra wiggle-room allows the motor to begin moving and it eventually slide down and the blade flies off the drone. I remedied this my inserting a piece of plastic in the gap between the controller and motor. This is only a temporary fix as the plastic falls out after every few flies. I am a bit disappointed that I ordered from Parrot themselves, yet still received a product that does not seem OEM. Overall pretty good part, but one small discrepancy can make a huge difference.

Any one who flys an RC drone or a helicopter on a regular basis will eventually blow a motor. It took me almost a year and half to blow one in my Parrot AR Drone 2. This motor arrived very quickly, wrapped in OEM packaging and works perfectly.Just what I hoped.

motor died after 1 flight. May just bad luck but . . ..
