Motor and ESC

[Parsons]

Hi guys as you know from my other posted I had someone run into my drone with his car breaking the front motor and ESC now my new motor and ESC has arrived must have been removed from q500 4k as it is a complete unit all soldered up is there any way of fitting the new one without unsoldering the motor

It's been some time since I changed a motor and ESC so I can't remember for sure. Can you remove the old ones as a unit after unsoldering the feed wires?

Change Motor or ESC needs soldering of the three motor wires. No way to avoid this as far as I know.
The ESC is below the mounting plate, the motor above. The holes are too small for the ESC.

Do you have a friend who can do it?

Yes I think he's better than me

If you have a guitar shop nearby, they should be able to do it. These wires aren't much different from pickups and other guitar electronics.
