one of my motors is stiffer than the rest. It stops way before the others when i shut off. Doesnt seem to affect it though and no warnings pop up.
Is this something to worry about?
See link

Dji, could you please advise. It doesnt seem to make any problem though. Will it in future?

Don’t see any unusual vibrations.  Switch a backup prop on and see if it does the same thing.  First rule of troubleshooting

Can you see my original post with video? Its blank for me for some reason..
I tried 3 different props and even hand spun them with no props and that one still stops a lot sooner. I can feel it when i move them with my fingers... but.. it has no effects on its performance and no warnings or anything.  It may not even be anything to worry about  
Id like if DJI could say something about it whether its nothing to worry about or should it be dealt with...
I could  just be being paranoid.. not sure.

My P4 pro is like that, I have it since 2016, check before you fly to see if it’s moving freely like the other motors.

Did you ever have any issues with it? Or change the motor?
My feeling is that its not an issue and just some are stiffer than others.. not sure though.

No it’s still pretty much the same.

As long as it moves freely those brushless motors can be like this.  Your feeling the magnets on it

But all other 3 motors slow down and stop equally. This one stops much faster than the others. Incan also feel the slight stiffness in it compared to the other 3. Im not sure if its just a case that naturally some are stiffer than others or should they all have the exact same resistance.
I have opened a case with dji but will cancel it if i can either find a fix or am happy its normal

Yes, it happens also with my Air-2 - but it's nothing I worry about.

Only, the funny (or interessting) thing is: It is the same position where that happens!

do you not think it may cause problems down the line? I'm sort of on the fence on this. I've registered to send it back but not sure if I will or not.. but its still playing in the back of my mind if it really is an issue or not.
I wish DJI would say more about it.. have they seen this in other drones before? has there been a issues like this before and what kind of outcomes were there?

My drone crashed.
My wife said that a motor just stopped, so the drone fell from sky.

So it is maybe very wise of you to send the drone in for repair...
