Hey everyone. I was fondling the P3X tonight and noticed one motor felt very different then the other three. If you rotate them slowly, three are fairly smooth while the fourth almost clicks with each step of rotation. It's so noticeably stiffer then the other three two different people who know nothing about quadcopters could tell exactly which motor was different. Anyone else notice this? Is it a valid concern? It flew fine last time I was out. Not sure on this. As always, Thanks for any input!

Its definitely not ideal.. Could be nothing and could also nose dive the P3.. If you are really concerned ( since you have had a hands on feel of it ) then maybe contact DJI/Dealer about it.

Fondling ???? sounds a bit perverse  hahahahaha        I have motors that have defferent sounds but they "feel" all the same. For the $28 for a motor I would purchase a replacement….sure beats replacing the bird.

Only the lonely, would fancy a Phantom. ;-)
Must be all those sexy curves she has acquired over the years.
But her skin has gotten too thin, and fragile...

Perhaps @DJI could give her a Major Makeover, or DNA SPA treatment, and bring back some vitality to her carcass.

I too have one motor that goes on a little stiffer than the other three.   As of now, I've not issues with flight or removal of that prop.
