- Got struck by a death roll or crashed your quad and now your motor is twitching? This can also happen with a completely new build. In this video, you will learn how to identify the most common reasons of a twitching motor without taking your drone apart. Enjoy and happy flying!
The ESC testing procedure was very valuable. Thank you!

The diode test helped me identify a problem with the non-working motor, thanks.
Thanks for beginning the video with that diode test, I was unaware of this technique up until now. Both motors on the side of the ESC that I attached an XT60 battery lead were twitching. I must've transferred too much heat to the ESC when soldering and cooked that side of the board. Very frustrating but glad to be done with wasting my time. Thanks again!
damn now i know my drone mother board is dead on one motor side. damn I actually thought the motor was fault. Thank you dude
Epic tutorial btw
Yeah.. Measuring things with multimeter saves a little bit of troubleshooting time :) I'm happy you found your fault!
Informative and funny one :) A good taste & amount of humor. Respect for sharing.
Thank you!
this was an excellent tutorial, lots of great tips for n00bs like me. keep them coming.
Thank you for the encouraging words!
i love you, you helped me very clever
Awesome stuff. Thank you. Liked and subscribed
Very nice video, good job....
Nice info
Thanks a lot, I finally confirm that my esc is dead haha :) thanks a lot, nice explanations
homie said fuck taking my props off lol
Love the how to use the multimeter for drone testing :) thank you for sharing. my motor is dead it just cant hold a steady rev or just stops running i even swapped the 1 to 4 just to make sure it wasnt the esc .
Very good info, great presentation and loved the humor. New sub!
Thank you very much!!
I just fix my twitching motor, it turned out to be bad. SOOO ,I rewound the 1507 motor, took 5 tries, lol. So far so good, and barely warm when flown. I’m goood! 😎👌🏽
Great stuff! Was it your first try? I'm doing the same here.. Too impatient to wait 1 month to get new motors.
@@CleverFPV my first try on a very small motor stator. Very tricky. When finished, your multimeter should not beep from continuity, if it does, do over, lol. Agreed, can’t wait for motors. BUT, must have lots of patience to wind. Lol. Good luck fellow FPV’r. 👍
AMAZING TROUBLESHOOTING GAH DAMN
Frigging great vid liked and subbed
I have your exact same problem (same twitching pattern) with my f7 beast aio. I swapped out a motor, same problem. The weird thing is that at first it didn't work, then it randomly started to spin correctly and while flying I had a deathroll. The problem started again. I think I'll buy a new aio. Anyway, great video!
Wow man that is a piece of very good info ! Subscribed 👍 thanks . I have a way twitching problem on one of my builds ( AOS 5.5 ) that is making me crazy !
Glad to hear you like it. Thanks for subscribing!! :)
Are you just extended the wires, and then change 2 wires to change the motor direction?
Hey Gabriel. I cut the old motor wires close to the motor so they became an extension. I highly recommend soldering wires to the board as little times as possible because it is relatively easy to overheat the pads on the board and rip them off. Using wire extensions your ESC will last longer. And yes, to change the motor direction you just flip any two of the motor wires. It is also possible to change the direction via ESC firmware settings, however I do not recommend doing that since the further you go from stock settings, the more confusion you will get in the future when troubleshooting things.
This isn't really fixing a motor though, it's replacing a motor...
Very clear and good explanation! Subbed! Followed! Liked!
Thank you the most!
one of my motors is spinning correctly without propeller but as soon as I put on the propeller its starts twitching.... why is that?
If you measure with multimeter as per this tutorial, are the values correct? If so, did you change any of the ESC settings? It could be that you have lowered the motor startup current.
Also, maybe there is a mechanical obstacle somewhere when you put the propeller on? Maybe the motor wires have some intermittent connection issues - electrical connection is lost when putting the propeller on (for example you put a finger on wires and bend them to a position where the connection is lost) ?
I have a quad and even when powered off one of the propellers still go but very slow on its own.it has a mind of its own. I don't know how to fix
Wow man! Did you just invent a free energy device? Do the propellers go even when the battery is disconnected? :)
To long of a motor screw contacting the windings can also cause “motor twitch” or overheating. Checking continuity between the esc pads and motor screws will let u know the windings have been compromised…
Very good tip!
i think this is my case, is there any way to fix this without having to buy a new motor?
@@Bullitain first MAKE SURE it’s the motor..and if u do have to replace it.. consider yourself lucky. A motor is a lot cheaper than a esc!
@@robaxelsson530 it was the motor and i've replaced it now. Is all back to normal now 😊
I just unplugged everything, unscrewed the motor blew on it banged it on the desk lightly plugged it back in and it worked
So.. "replace the motor".. that would have been a 3s video..
Well. Yes and no. There are many reasons why motor can be twitching, i.e. broken ESC, broken wire connection, stuck rotor due to dirt and/or mechanical deformation of the bell or even settings of ESC. This video shows how to find the fault without taking the quad apart 🙃
Legit!
take the props off when connecting to betaflight reta^& some other id^& might copy you.
Misleading title, you don't fix the motor but exchanging it.
sure! this is a real-life scenario for troubleshooting a twitching motor issue. Going through the steps to figure out which part is faulty. In this case it was burned out motor windings. You can of course fix the motor by rewinding it (managed to do that a couple of times), however these days it makes more sense just to replace it as it takes so much time to wind that it becomes economically unprofitable.
@@CleverFPV
So you are intentionally misleading people.
Let's be honest - you were just lucky to have the same one in stock. Otherwise it is quite the same effort economically to re-wire a motor then buying it on the corner. But if sy has to order it from China (sometimes months), or it is not sold anymore, it is definietly more effective to repair it (wires are quite cheap actually), then buying four new motors. So your argument is not really valid, just say you are lazy :)
Esc fried🥲 it was only 35A
Sorry to hear that bro :(
