Factory motor balancing. Did they struggle with this one?

Seems like there is a lot of ? Epoxy? in this one?
Is this a normal ammount. Having just replaced all the bearings in my hex this is the last motor which seems the worst.

hi yes but usually on opposite sides of the wheel rim (inside and outside).
I have seen this much epoxy in motors but I would say it rare.

Confirms what I thought...they are pants.
They have eaten bearings on under 3 hours flight, having replaced the bearings & showing no play, after 13mins in a hover some has returned :-(

Which motor is that? EMax or something? I can't make it out.

I have given up on cheap motors. You can put good bearings in them, and they kill them quickly since the bearing bores are not round.

Yup E max MT3510.
I have come to the same conclusion. They are eating a second set of bearings after a 13 min hover flight (play re appearing).
I'm well pee'd off with them having just put several hours into removing them and changing bearings :-(

Yeah, I had the same problem with Turnigy NTM motors. I couldn't figure out why the bearings kept getting notchy after just a few flights with no crashes. Even when I put in good quality bearings.

I'm done with cheap motors. I just don't have time for this kind of BS anymore. So far I'm happy with iPower Multimate and KDE.
