Evo disassembly instructions

[Thomas Noble]

I need to repair my evos left front rotor arm, and need to disassemble the body. I have it mostly apart but the orange front hood when pried up sticks. In front, it appears to be still attached and I don't want to risk more damage to the hood. Does anyone have or had experience with the evo disassembly? I would appreciate any feedback and help. Thanks.

I just replaced my left rear motor and control arm assembly, and will be uploading an instruction guide on how to fully disassemble and reassemble the quad due to the need for fully disassembling to just replace something so simple like a control arm or motor. I thought it was a bit ridiculous but it's apparently essential to this somewhat major repair. I should hopefully have it up today or tomorrow because it's not something that can just be explained and I'm a kinesthetic learner / teacher and need to be doing it to essentially explain it in the correct steps.

This is great I am to a place on disassembly and have the orange top popped loose and can not seem to get the front of the hood to come loose, I would appreciate your help on this so much. My Evo is sadly half apart on my counter. Thank you.

Have you ever put that post up about Evo Disassembly, my Evo is still in the half way apart mode, I would really appreciate your help on this. Maybe you can just tell me how to remove the orange hood, that is what I will call it. Thank you again if you can help.

man i thought it would find help here. but i made it farther than you already, anyways, carefully pop the badge off the front, and theres a gold screw behind it, i swear they put more into designing it to be broken than to function

 

[DRONEvate]

how do you get the heat sink off the bottom? its glued.... also if someone takes theirs apart, please take a pic of where each screw goes as they are alot of diff lengths

Yeah we didnt get an in depth video disassembly tutorial from him bc he kinesthetically broke his sh$! Lol im a bmw master tech and i struggled not to Break it. Buti did successfully remove the unremovable camera without cuttilg the video cables

Can one or more of you guys create a repair or disassembly guide on ifixit.com? That's a great place to archive these experiences and let others benefit from it who need to do some work on their EVO themselves. That's an awesome site and it got me through the repair of my iPhone 6S Plus. Did it myself with their help and their neat little tool kit with all those tiny little specialty tools many manufacturers use to discourage DIY repair jobs. Had that thing completely all apart all over my desk, replaced a component and got it back together again AND IT WORKED!

wondering if you found anything on tearing down the evo i cant hardly find anything did u or could you maybe help me out with wat i need to do please

 

[Thomas Noble]

Well is the cable ok, looks like you are going to need parts and this probably will be the hardest part of fixing it, I have found the parts that I needed and have not had the time to put back together. If you look hard you may find someone that will sale a Camara that has a cable on it. It's hard to tell from the pick what is broken, get some better picture of what appears wrong.

I'm currently in the process of replacing my right, rear motor arm, Evo 1 drone. Exactly how did you get your spring pin/hinge out? I got the screws out of mine, gonna try 2 small pry bars under the sides of it & lift it out, if I can.

Looking forward to your video. Please provide the link and make an obvious title that allows others to easily find it in a YouTube search. You may also want to post this video along with written steps and/or photos on the Ifixit web site. Thanks for doing this. I am hoping someone will help me know what the maximum discharge rate is for the EVO 1 batteries. I’m in contact with a company who is prepared to make new cells available to us for rebuilding our battery packs but they need that information. Then I’ll post all the information on how to rebuild battery packs and where to obtain the new cells. We have to band together with these tutorials and education in order to keep our EVOs alive and flying since we’ve been abandoned by Autel.

There is a guy on YT that has videos on how to take apart an EVO 1, search for "EVO 1 The Ukrainian" and you'll find him. He has great videos.
