I find myself with a few motors that are burned up, a few stripped, but otherwise functional servos and several LiPos that have a broken connection somewhere between cells or balance leads. Do any of you take the time to try to refurbish these items?
Motors: I tried rewinding a motor once, but it instantly fried. I know it is doable, have seen the youtube vids, but need to figure it out. My biggest unknown is what gauge of winding wire to use and where to get it. Any advice?
Servos: They all seem to strip at the same gear. Can I buy replacements? I'm using mostly Tower Pro 9g servos.
LiPos: I have at least 3 new LiPos that simply have a bad connection somewhere. Does anyone dissect these and repair?
I'm getting kind of bored with flying lately and am entertaining myself with this, at the moments. I'm also converting a chuck glider to a 3 channel sailplane and adding a tow connection to my HZ SC to fight the doldrums I seem to be in.
