I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I stripped a screw while trying to remove the quick release to install the folding props I purchased from Florida Drone Supply. I got careless with the dremel cutting wheel and damaged the motor so it doesn't turn smoothly. Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement quickly?
Inspire 2 motor needed

- Start date
I got a replacement CCW Inspire 2 motor on eBay. It was a pre or order and I had to wait about 30 days though. Cost $99.00
There's also vendors here on Inspire pilots that can maybe get them quicker. They seem to still be in short supply but that should improve soon.
The new motor is identical except for a micro qr code permanently silkscreened on the top.

Thanks for the reply! Advexure reached out to me and was able to help me out, so I should be back in the air quickly.

Hi Matt, sounds like things are all worked out. If we can help out with anything else free to PM or give us a call. Thanks.
@mpaerial - You know it. I saw Cavan working on your aircraft today, you lucked out with no damage to the camera and gimbal. You should be hearing from us tomorrow when that is ready for pickup. Thanks!
One word; YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These guys are awesome. I had a Torx wrench break off. Advexure came to the rescue with an ORIGINAL DJI motor... I was up in the air all the way in Finland in about 4 days.
You really want to trust your I2, to eBay distributors? Of course it is your decision but for something that is designed to keep the drone in the air, I would only trust a reputable distributor.

They have them at Cloud City Drones as well. Just make sure to choose the right one, CW or CCW. I did the same thing. I had all but 1 darn screw come out easily. But that one messed me up and now I have to order a new motor.

I posted this same thing a few weeks ago along with photos on the removal process. Go a search of the group.

That's great and I'm glad you shared as well. However it wasn't included in this thread, and I wasn't the one who created this thread. I was merely posting information.
I've never tried to remove those screws, but I've read elsewhere that there is a little glue on them, and I believe the way to deal with it was to heat the screws up a little by holding a soldering iron to the end, without touching plastic which would melt, to loosen it up before removal. That might save some other people from stripping screws and damaging motors.

There is thread lock on the screws, but it doesn't usually need heat to break the bond as it's usually the blue mid strength stuff - it should break using hand tools.
You need a good well made and well fitting Allan key to loosen them off initially (same with cross headed screws). Trying to do it with a cheap (usually poorly fitting and soft) screwdriver bit ends up rounding out the head. I've also had problems after using the ball headed Allan keys that are meant to let you turn things at an angle.... they usually strip 'em too
If you can, get new screws to re-fit as it'll mean less chance of rounding off next time
