Questions about the lifespan of a DJI motor

[DeltaDesignSolutions]

Good afternoon, Fellow Phantom Pilots!

I was just curious after seeing some video's about a Phantom 3 crashing due to an engine failure. Since this year I'm also an owner of a Phantom 3 Professional. How many flying hours are you able to get out of your motor? Do you get a warning if one of the motors isn't functioning properly? Because I couldn't fine any information about the lifespan of these DJI motors. I rather replace them once in a while then having a crash.

Looking forward to receive a reply!

Kind Regards,

"Engine failure" is a vague generic term that just means the motors stopped working but the cause might be completely unrelated to the motors themselves.
Upstream of the motors, there's a lot of complex electronics and a battery.
A failure in any of those components makes the motors stop.

Brushless electric motors are very durable and low-maintenance.
