Noisy Parkzone Motor

[moosehunt2007]

This sounds like mine. I called Horizon yesterday and they told me to heat up those screws before trying to pull them out. The problem is, mine are already stripped. Mine has a bent shaft from a crash. I was hoping I could just replace the shaft.

It might be your transmiter.

i think your prop is turning the wrong way

Its the three blade prop!!! The props with more than two blades tend to vibrate!

3 things it might be

1. if its an out runner and had a front end crash then you might have a slight uot of balance bell housing which at higer rpm will give you a noisy grinding sound.

2. bent prop shaft which will give you some vibration and rubbing of the cowling = exessive noise

3. a combination of the above with badly balanced prop, or reversed prop, loose mounts making it rub on the cowling,

it does sound like sommits got bent and is rubbing

@puggster Hi I have to parkzone corsair with a stock motor it nosed over once not very fast but it put so stress to the motor. It now makes this same sound but alot quieter, but the plane virbrates alot. Is there a way to fix it or will it just get worse.

Thank you

I'm not a brushless expert by a long shot. But the same noise was coming from my Corsair after a crash / cowling replacement. I tightened the cowling screws up while holding it back, and the noise seemed to go away. Still worried about my motor though.

ya ok buddy thats why the cutains behind it are fluttering cause the prop is pushing air forward .. come on !!!!

[EllmoPilot]

lolz you probs have prop on back to front

[oddbrother11]

its the motor hitting the motor ocver. easy fix.

If it still makes power I would fly it until it dies... We had a smillar issue with ours and the holes on the motor where the screw go into sre cracked up the side of the case. The holes are tapped into the plastic end bell which is just stupid if you ask me.  And they are't that cheap to replace either at 70 bucks for this little 480.

[rcpro31]

that could be it but your motor mount might be loose and if the motor mount is loose it will make that noise

Sounds more like the prop hub is rubbing against the cowling. Mine sounded the same way til' I cleared it, now it sounds smooth.
