How many hours should a motor last at full speed (sport mode)?
Everything has a life time...
Is there any data about an average life of an engine?
Thanks

this is for the phantom 3 so i assume the same with the spark

For the latest revision of the motors, DJI claims 300 hours flight time at 300g/axis

Not bad!...
300hours... +-5000km

Thanks @Thor1

i only found that on a phantom pilots foru8m so i do not know how accurate it is.

I would recommend you to check the motor performance before taking off. Repair/replace is required once the motor damaged.

How do i do that? Check the motor performance, before taking off...

Hi,when is DJI going to release Spark spare parts? I believe DJI has not yet release any spare parts for sales to the market

Staring the motor and check whether it rotates smoothly and then install the propellers to confirm.

We have not got the release date of spark spare parts. The request has been forwarded to the designated department and hopefully it will come soon.

Sorry, but that really is the ultimate cover your arse response!

Do you genuinely think users are going to take the props off a drone (that does not need its props removing to store) turn in on, check the motors are running smoothly (using our built in human resonance sensor I assume) before reassembling and taking to the sky every time we use it?

"dji assistant 2" should do that for us...

We are talking about brushless motors , not brushed.  I have 1806/2400kv motors that spin way faster then the sparks motors that are a live 3 years now. Brushless motors tend to last for years if you do not land in sand or any thing that can get into the bearings and destroy them. I also use brushless bearing motor oil from time to time to flush out any debris and to give the bearings a little less friction.

The quad racing scene do this practice weekly but that’s because they run the motors hard and into the ground.

I was told that I would never see the need to replace a motor on my Spark if kept away from sand, water and inspected regularly.  The inspection would consist of removing the props and making sure the two pins are attached.  And never to fly with broken props casing the motors to run unbalanced.

LOL, that was the best joke I saw in months. "hello dealership, how do I know my car engine is fine", "Please, turn on and see if runs smooth".

Thanks, for making my Monday better !
