Syma X5C: How do I fix my Drone that won't lift off?

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 17:35:59 -0700

I just got my Drone a couple days ago and I have been busy so I could not take it outside to see how it works but today I finally got the time to take it out for a test drive but I let my sister try flying it and she allowed it to slam onto the ground from a high altitude and now the propellers are spinning but its not taking off. How do I go about fixing it?

Drone: Not showing up in wifi/ won't connect

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 03:51:20 -0700

My question is about the ProMark p70 drone and the wifi that is supposed to be built into the Drone. It connects to the actual controller but will not connect to my smart phone. Also when you look in the WiFi in your settings on your phone there doesn't show any WiFi device for the promark and I'm trying to find out if I can manually put it in or what I should do thank you for all your advice and answers.

Vehicle: 2 wheel electric segway: Light not red when charging for 1st time

Tue, 17 May 2022 03:10:06 -0700

Went to charge it for 1st time, light wont turn red.

So I bought a two wheel segway and after a great deal of time, it finally arrived. My friend and I rode it all day yesterday and had loads of fun. Naturally the segway light blinked red, meaning it was time to charge it. I pulled out the new charger (MODEL: Hk-42-2000 INPUT: 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz, OUTPUT:.42V) and the light stayed green. According to the the instructions, the light is suppose to turn red when charging and turn green when fully charged 2-3 hours later. So I tried many different outlets and tried switching the plug in pieces different ways and still had no luck. I left it plugged plugged in for an hour just in case, and the segway said it was dead. Lastly another thing to mention is when I unplug the outlet, the box turns red for 10-15 seconds. What should I do, any help well be greatfully appreciated!!

My stunt drones controller comes on and beeps, when I plug up the drone the light go from flashing fast to a lil slower but my controller still beeps. Ive messed with the throttle and even left it on for a while. After about 5 mins the controller stops beeping but won't fly, it plays a weird tune when I press a button.

Suzuki FA50 Moped: Why is the engine bogging under acceleration?

Fri, 23 May 2025 04:45:17 -0700

I recently managed to get the moped running properly, albeit for only a short time. Things were looking up: I replaced the spark plug, cleaned out the exhaust, adjusted the idle / fuel screws, and even replaced the brakes (I can stop now!).

So everything was looking good. I was test-riding it after a short hiatus, and the moped was running fine. Near the end of my ride, I stopped at an intersection to make a left turn. I revved the engine while still stationary in anticipation of the light turning green -- I didn't want to hold up traffic, and the 50cc engine takes a while to get going. I pushed off from standstill, the scooter started moving fine, but soon thereafter started lagging. It absolutely refused to go past 20 MPH even though I'd usually go 27-28 on the same stretch of road. It was consistently going slower afterwards, and I scurried back home as best as I could.

I've revved the engine like this in the past (with the moped stationary), but for shorter durations. This time I'd say I was on full throttle ~5-10 seconds while stationary.

A couple of days later I fired it up, but it ran horribly. I managed to get it moving, but it hit 10-12 MPH on mostly flat land (where 27 MPH was common). It felt as if the engine was providing power for a couple of seconds, then stopped the power delivery for a couple of seconds, and it kept doing this over and over. It was so weak that I had to push it up a hill to get it back to my residence.

I thought -- for just a second -- that I smelled a burning clutch when I was riding it back home after the intersection incident. After I got home, I "smelled" around, but couldn't pick up any burnt clutch scent.

I sincerely hope the clutch isn't the culprit, since it's an expensive fix. Please let me know if you have any ideas as to where I can start troubleshooting (aside from the clutch, of course), as the weather's nice and I'm hoping to get it going this weekend -- fingers crossed!

I swear guys, I'm not crazy. There was a problem with the moped.

This morning I fired it up the usual way, hoping to analyze how it runs. It hit 29 MPH on flat land like nobody's business and I rode it around for a good half hour with no problems. I have no idea what changed in the last couple of weeks -- perhaps it had some time to think about its problems and resolved them.

I have a feeling this won't be the last time this problem pops up. I will most likely be coming back to this post sometime in the future :)

Thanks for all the replies!

Dx-3 drone: Why is my drones propeller not working?

Thu, 20 May 2021 18:41:58 -0700

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!

Drone: One of my propellers won't stop running.

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 16:52:57 -0700

Hi guys, I am new to this but I am desperate for help..

I have a UDI 818S drone which I have been enjoying right up to today. I had a bit of a rough landing and now one of the props will not stop spinning. All the other three operate perfectly well but the fourth spins at full speed as long as the battery is plugged in, even when the drone is switched off. I have searched around on the internet but can't find anyone with a similar problem, I'm sure it's a switch issue but I would appreciate some help with a diagnosis..
