I've never tried to build a drone from a aftermarket frame with P2 parts, so I don't know if it's possible. I've rebuilt P2s though. So if all the electronics are legit, I suppose it's possible. If your ESC works perfectly, then that would seem to indicate the motor is bad. The original P2V+ had the standard 2212 motors. After a few months, the P2V+V3 came out which had a number of upgrades including the new 2312 motors which would eventually also be found on the early version P3 (not the P3S). You can tell the difference by studying the structure/design of the motor at the top near where the vent is.
"Getting some movement" meaning stopping and starting intermittently is what happens after a crash. It means either the ESC or the motor is damaged. It's very typical after a crash. It has nothing to do with a mismatch of ESC and motor. The reason you don't want to mismatch the ESC and motor is because the ESC could blow during flight without warning. But that should never happen because you wouldn't mismatch the ESC and motor, right? With a correct ESC and motor. the system is rock solid. Until you crash. You can mix and match any ESC with either of the two motors EXCEPT for the original ESC and the 2312 motor. The original ESC, you could call it version 1.0, has no version printed on it. The version 2.0 has V2.0 printed on the board. The version 2.1 has V2.1 printed on the board. Also some ESCs with no printed version had their FW upgraded in Shenzhen before they shipped but after they were manufactured, so they're good. They are marked with a colored marker on top of the capacitor, not black. This indicates the ESC FW has been upgraded. Yellow, red, purple come to mind. Any color other than black is good news. The V2.1 ESC has a better chance of not blowing after a crash than the V2.0. But they are both rock solid during flight. Also, the original ESC will do low to high beeps and then four steady same key beeps after the start up. The upgraded ESCs just do the normal low to high beeps without the four same key beeps.
Hope this helps. |
