Why is my drones propeller not working?
I have a Dx-3 sharp image drone and it has withstood many of my crashes... My friend and I were messing around and he managed to throw a blanked over the drone so it would fall, when I took the blanket off and tried to fly it all but one propeller worked. It spun but very slowly even at max speed. I tried replacing the propeller but it's still not working and when I try and fly it the drone propeller makes a revving sound (it sounds like it's hitting the protector but it's not) hope someone can help me before the weekend is over. Thanks!
Is this a good question?

I'm not a drone specialist; but, speaking from a mechanical standpoint it sounds like the motor or motor housing is the culprit. If you take off the blade and activate that motor, does it still make the sound? If so, then I would guess that the motor shaft may have bent, the motor slipped out of the motor housing a little and is rubbing on something, or that a bearing in the motor has broken. I would suggest a little more testing to verify the problem. If you can take the motor out, I would suggest applying voltage to the motor outside of the housing. This is all assuming you can safely test the equipment. I can't seem to find parts readily available online, but you could possibly find other motors that fit, if that is the issue.

I got my brother a mini drone for Christmas. It was around 20$,so i didn't expect it to last long.But when we threw it in the air it fell and crashed because he couldn't control it ( or he just can't fly a drone.Anyways,)when we picked it up one of the porpelors weren't working. It worked on full spid a bit but again the propeller wasn't actually working it was just the air flow and it was moving the porpeller. It's just not really moving at all.Help!

One of my propellers are broken and I need a new motor. How do I get one and how do I fix it?

Remove the propeller(s) and check if there is dust or hair
