Parrot Bebop Drone: How to repair Bottom parts

[justrcheli]

Thank you very much - you've just saved me hours and hours of research....very clear steps too👍

My drone had been in pieces since a crash but looking at this the only parts I need are some rubber gubbins and maybe a new frame if I can't epoxy this one back together. Thanks!!

Hey parrot and youtubers this video guided me well when I was trying to replace the front motors of my bebop drone. These parts are expensive so be very gentle with the parts especially the wires on the motors because they can be easily detached.

Although the video covers everything that needs to be done in order to fly with your drone again, I kinda went wrong on two points which can be easily overseen if you wont pay attention to the details...

Pay attention to the exact placement of the motors, in my case 3 motors were damaged when my drone crashed onto a tree. I had to replace 3 motors (whole set costs me round 80 euro very expensive). I installed the motors wrong on my first attempt. I accidently switched position of the two front motors. The drone did start up but was unflyable and instantly crashed after taking off. Also, do not pull too hard on the wires attached to the motors. You can easily pull to hard and detach the wires connected to the motor. I found it very difficult to repair this since those wires are so small and you`ll need special tools which arent provided in the standard toolbox you can buy from parrot.

Also cable management is kinda hard too and very very important. The cabels can easily twist into eachother which makes it difficult to determine which cabel belongs to a motor. Although the pins are givin colors, the fitting of the motor on the placement of the motor on the chassis isnt indicated so you need to be sure to attack the motor on the correct side of the chassis. 


Be sure to attach the wires in correct way shown in the video, its very hard to get it very good organized since there are a lot wires (6 in total). I used glue for the two smaller wires to get them in the right position again (I think those two small wires are for GPS location but I dont know for sure anyway.


Third thing is the propellers, look for the pin indication on the motor to pinpoint which propeller should be connected on your motors. These things are covered in the video but I wasnt paying enough attention hope you do better then me ^^ In the end though i finally got it to work (today).

Parrot great video, the song kept me happy while I was trying to revive my bebod^^ I do have a small point on the video, the points mentioned earlier should be made extra clear to the viewers because I personally just overlooked the details in the video instructions.

seems straight up and very simply engineered with minimum and wires with nice connections to batteries with nice connections and camera with nice connectors....all mounted on a simple frame...how much simpler could it want one

[DanielleMoren]

What is the reason why you would replace the vibration absorbers?

[peteschannel]

What is the part name or number of the x plate or bracket you take off at 1:53 on the video? I got mine used and it was missing. I was able to use a small zip tie to keep the wires off the fan but would like the stock part instead. Thanks.

The shaft of the engines do not take any kind of oil?

[centereddev]

where do you get those little wheel things that he screws in at 4:55? one of mine broke along with the metal screw/leg that its attached to. I didn't see them on the spare parts page

[jackfrank]

what are the little wires near the motor wires?

[HanifAmanullah]

what do the wires that connect in to the actual motors connect to?

[marcusm.]

Can someone please tell me the motor connector type/size or where to get them?

[RamakersRoger]

the nuts of the anti vibration dampers are mounted in the wrong way in this video !
they can touch the centralcross like this

[KevinWu]

THis just seems like a nightmare to repair

[chrisfrazier]

Beware refurbished drone. Small gold snap connectors have come loose after one flight. Explains flight failure. Connectors failed from vibration of flight.
