I understand and no matter what, no glue, silicone or goop will stop the single point of failure being the solder joint to solid wires.
Skills and education that I paid for to get an EE degree of 30 yrs ago (OK dated) which included then basics including standards which I look for in any design are valid. When I graduated and started work, I worked in R&D for a Fortune 100 company back then. They have been absorbed 5 times since I hired on.
Concerns? Solid motor wired, lacquered with HS tube mounted to a hight vibration component
Really? - I was taught years ago (20+) you can't do this!
Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) will be DAYS - not Years!!!
I corrected my bird for goal that I want to fly it past manufacture warranty, starting now without a 3 month repair and repeat cycle... Spring is coming in the US - how much air time do you want?
PM Jeremy if you don't want to do the correction by yourself.....
BTW - I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH HIM OR HIS COMPANY - Just was an educated electrical engineer and we think/ agree alike.
Another beer for my horses and more hay for my men... OOH!!!!
burlbark said:I have had a couple people question me asking if these wire failures in midflite are caused from damage from a previous crash.
If the same body is used and the esc is not bent in half how much real damage can be occurring to these wires before failure/breaking?
Some people say the wires are breaking after the crash, than a couple questions still remain.
1. Why did it tumble out of the sky?
2. Why are we seeing broken motor wires with no other obvious damage to the esc's?
3. Why are the motor leads always breaking in the same place?
Then of course you can bend test them yourself. Some of them will only last one bend! The max bends I have seen is 7. All it takes for weak wires is a couple hours of vibration or less.
I never saw this problem with multistrand wire unless the the whole arm was ripped off or the esc was folded in half. The wires are continuing to break and I just had to order 150ft of shrink wrap to keep it in stock. It is only going to get worse unless DJI standardizes a fix quickly.
