Hello all,

I've been flying my Phantom 2 Plus v3 with much success until today. While landing I hit an uneven spot which caused the drone to fall forward on the props. The two in front were held in place unable to move, while the back two continued to spin. I was able to get the drone upright to see what the damage was and ended up having to replace the front propellers. What I would like to know is if the propellers being held in place could have damaged the motors (due to strain)?

After replacing the props and taking off again, the drone seems to be able to hover in place. I also took the bird up 300 ft and was able to reach a top speed of 30 mph in GPS mode. Should I be concerned about the front motors?

No - your looking for a problem that does not exist.

you'll have a lot more to worry about in future..nicked props is quite minor

Not sure what you mean. We are discussing motors not props.

After your flight, are the 2 motors feeling hotter than the other 2 motors?  Are they making strange sounds now?  Do you feel more resistance in the motors when you turn them by hand?  Are they turning slower when at idle speed?  If the answer to those questions are no, then don't worry about them.  I crashed mine after about 5 flights and 2 props dug a 3 inch hole in the dirt before I got them turned off.  Lost 2 props, but have made more than 50 more flights on the same motors with no problems.

If you have a DJI Support near your place, ask him to upgrade the Firmware on your v2.0 ESC's from 4.02 to 4.06 ....
Seems some bugs / problems in 4.02

If you do , let me know and ill buy your motors off you.....
