Today my knuckle quad fought with a tree and lost. I found the poor creature on the ground missing a leg and propeller.
I took it back home, fixed it up, and tested it out. One of the motors started spinning later than the others and stopped spinning earlier. I unplugged the battery and spun each motor by hand. When I turned the working motors, they seemed normal, but the motor that started later has a spot where it seems to stick a little bit. I looked at the shaft coming out of the bottom of the motor, and it seems straight. The quad flies normally too.
Should I be ordering another motor? Is there a way to repair this sticky one? I really dislike the idea of ordering just one motor from hobbyking and paying all that shipping! It is this one by the way: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=18150
