DJI Phantom 2 Vision DJI Phantom 2 Vision Motor Replacement Replacement

Introduction

This guide demonstrates how to remove the motors from the DJI Phantom 2 Vision. Tools needed to complete the motor removal are a hex driver and a screwdriver. When completing the disassembly make sure to clean any residue that may be surrounding the screws before beginning, as doing this will ensure no over or under-tightening of screws may occur. Also, make sure to verify the size of the screws if you plan on replacing them, they are 9mm and 6mm hex heads and one 9mm Philips head.

Note: The drone we worked on already had the propellers removed. However, you will need to remove the propellers before Step 4. Refer to the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Propellers Removal for detailed instructions, as the process is identical.
