I need one as well..
Then find 2 for us
HopefullyBeing how quick it is to manufacture parts like the shell, I can't help but wonder what the hold up is.... I have a feeling the delay is due to changes in the design/manufacturing process.
I pre-ordered one from here:
http://www.multirotorheli.ca/collec...rt30-shell-includes-top-bottom-covers-pro-adv
But it says "shipping ETA is two weeks EXPECT DELAYS."
What else would I expect?!
Hope you guys can find one faster. Good luck!![]()
Thought I'd give it a try for myself. I started disassembling mine tonight. Have to wait for the shell anyway, so there's no rush. Taking pictures and notes as I go along. Just took the top shell off so far, and disconnected the GPS unit from the main board. Took a lot to get the top off, because of the internal clips the P3 uses, but it finally came free. Doesn't look too scary inside. Seems to be pretty well laid out in terms of cabling, but we'll see how it goes. Anyway, I'll learn a lot about my quad in the process, and I won't have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to see it again. Besides, it'll look good on my resume...are the shells hard to change? I cant decide if I should send it off to DJI for repair or try it myself.
The pics of the shell on the website show the LED's in place on the shell. I'll probably ditch those, though as mine still work, and they're really easy to get off the plastic posts they're attached to inside the shell. Keeps me from having to try and solder the new ones onto the mainboard. But I wish the shell came with the LED light covers instead. One of mine popped off during the crash, and I lost it in the dense underbrush. Guess I'll just have to come up with a DYI solution to that.Don't know if the replacement shell will have LED on it, because they seem to be fixed on shell permanently.
