Jell-O Problem Due to Motor Vibration - Need Advice
So, my Jell-O problem might be due to motor vibration — and it’s pretty obvious here. Do I need to replace the motor, or is it something else? What do you think is causing this? Misalignment? Something broken?
Nick Burn on his Youtube channell told me that it could be solve: "sometimes turning up the esc startup power can help" what do you think group?
Troubleshooting Steps
-
Swap Test
Swap the problematic motor with another one (keep the ESCs in place).-
If the issue follows the motor, it's the motor.
-
If the issue stays on the same arm, it's likely the ESC.
-
-
Check the solder joints
-
Visually inspect the solder joints between the motor and the ESC.
-
Reflow or redo any joints that look cold, cracked, or weak.
-
-
Test in Betaflight (or your flight controller software)
-
Connect the drone to Betaflight.
-
Go to the Motors tab (remove props first!).
-
Test each motor individually.
-
Does the motor connected to the "bad ESC" spin? Is it irregular? Not spinning at all?
-
-
Check logs or settings (if using BLHeli)
-
Use BLHeli Suite to check or flash the ESC.
-
You may find a bad firmware flash, desync issues, or incorrect settings (e.g., PWM frequency or motor timing).
✅ Possible Fixes
| Identified Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Burnt-out motor | Replace the motor |
| Faulty ESC | Replace the ESC or full 4-in-1 stack if necessary |
| Bad solder joints | Re-solder the connections |
| Desync or firmware issue | Reflash the ESC and adjust settings (e.g., timing, PWM rate) |
| Bad signal from flight controller | Check the signal/ground wire between FC and ESC |
⚠️ Safety Note
-
Always remove your propellers before testing anything motor-related.
-
If you’re using a 4-in-1 ESC board, one bad ESC might mean replacing the entire board.
