Noisy motors - Solo

[Rob14960]

Hi all this is my first post so it's gday from Oz.

Quick question: are the bearings in the prop motors usually a bit noisy? Are they maintenance free? Drone is new but just seems like the bearings could do with a very small amount of sewing machine oil.

If you not shure if the motor pod is reliable
you can create a support ticket using your controller and solo app take a video of the noisy pod and attach your log file to your ticket
theys will review if the motor pod need to be replaced

Thanks ProStock I ran the motors without props and they are all noisy so I've oiled them. One is definitely noisier than the others. It's new and flight time would be only 3-4 hours max so I'll be keeping an eye (ear) on them.
