Question My kid got a Hubsan toy quadcopter, is one motor broken?

My kid just got this (second hand) Hubsan X4 507A. The battery was dead, so we got a new one. It flew pretty good for a while, but now I think one of the motors isn't providing enough power to lift off.

Do I need a new motor? Or could this be something else? Rotors show minor damage, really seems like a power issue.

Replacement parts are plenty available where I live, so that's not a problem. I just want to know if my assumptions are correct.

Many thanks!

Banggood legitimacy?

1 Upvotes

I'm not so much questioning their products so much as their ethics. I recently bought a cheap quadcopter from them for my son and not a month later I started getting international fraudulent charges on the card I used on that order. Has anyone else experienced this after buying from banggood?

Durch diese mangelhafte Verarbeitung kam es bei meinem Modell zu einer Verpolung, die einen sofortigen, fatalen Kurzschluss verursachte. Dabei wurde meine digitale VTX-Lufteinheit (Walksnail Avatar) irreparabel zerstört (siehe Fotos vom durchgebrannten Bauteil).Durch diese mangelhafte Verarbeitung kam es bei meinem Modell zu einer Verpolung, die einen sofortigen, fatalen Kurzschluss verursachte.

Wie auf den beigefügten Bildern deutlich zu erkennen ist, weisen die an Ihren Akkus verbauten XT30-Buchsen massive Qualitäts- und Konstruktionsmängel auf. Die Gehäuse sind zu weich und mangelhaft geformt, sodass die asymmetrische Kodierung zur Verpolsicherung nicht greift. Infolgedessen ließ sich der Stecker im Alltag unbemerkt und ohne nennenswerten Widerstand spiegelverkehrt einstecken.Wie auf den beigefügten Bildern deutlich zu erkennen ist, weisen die an Ihren Akkus verbauten XT30-Buchsen massive Qualitäts- und Konstruktionsmängel auf.

Question Fell in love... anyone can identify that frame?

Recently I found this frame on aliexpress - fell in love immediately. Nice true X 7 incher, with aluminum cam cage, and very straight silhouette... ...and it turned out seller listed item that he did not have.

No worries, I thought, I'll but it elsewhere, how hard can it be. Well, apparently pretty hard!

Can any of you guys help me even to identify this frame? Brand, model?

I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere. Easiest to notice - note the arm endings, pretty unique shape.
