Evo making a nasty sound

[MitchNC]

This happened twice today. Both times it was "solved" by turning the Evo off and back on.

If you've ever had a computer fan go bad... A screeching, grinding sound, that's what it sounded like.

Call Autel.

 

[KentA]

Did you check the fan belt?

I would tighten up the fan with a left handed metric screw driver...

 

[Jagerbomb52]

All joking aside you really should call Autel. If anything just to document it. A video of what is going on would be a good idea also.

I would probably try using some canned air in the motors to see if it might just be something in there first.

This. May have a blade of grass or something in there.

Talking about strange noise, my right front arm makes a sound, like something is snagged, from the first second I got it, I don't know like maybe a cable is caught, when I fold or unfold it. Anyone else experiencing this? I would make a recording it, but with ambient noise I don't think it would translate well to a recording.

Yup. Mine does the same thing. Sounds like braided wire housing rubbing on something. Not sure if I’m worried.

Exactly right, hit the nail on the head. Well now that I know I'm not the only one with this issue, maybe it's normal, would love to hear from others to see if it's a manufacturing flaw and we are the "unlucky" ones, since if the wire gets stripped it might cause a sudden motor death during a flight.

I'm going flying later today. I'll see what happens.
