New motor?

[ResevorDG]

Do I need a new motor?

One motor does not sound as smooth as the others, perhaps it is a bad bering, it feels like it has just small amount of play in it. Do I need to replace this motor?
Is this a good place to buy? http://www.helipal.com/phantom2-vision-05-dji-phantom-vision-motor-ccw.html

Thank you.

It does not sound different when powered on. It just feels different to the touch.

Remove the motor and check the C-clip, there's been a few reports of that coming loose.

If you diagnose it as just a bearing, no need to buy a new motor - you can get Phantom motor replacement bearing sets for $20 or less to service all four motors.

Bearing changes can be done without having to unsolder the motor (if there's enough slack in your motor wires you may not actually have to open the shell, either). Motor replacement will, obviously, require some soldering skills.

Thank you, So far it still flies just fine, thought I think it is a bearing. Can you point me in the direction of replacement parts for sale?

I just put "DJI Phantom motor bearings" into Google... You're more likely to get results relevant to your location.

I would have done a Google search but I am weary of just using any ole web page.
