jDrones News: Updates on ArduCopter motors
In last 6 months we have been working directly with 5 different motor factory and finally it's starting to be "harvesting" time for all the efforts. Because of that we are happy to start share more about these upcoming changes.
First visible thing is that we are doing re-versioning on our original ArduCopter motors and working in generally on new multicopter motor product lines. We have changed all our motors to be Black. Original ArduCopter motors are the first one to get this coloring scheme and more will come.
To identify original AC2830-358 and AC2836-358 is always been easy as they had jDrones sticker/marking on them, now it's even more easier.
These new motors are in full production and old pink/yellowish motors are not available anymore from us.
There are some other internal changes done too for these motors.
Also after been working long and hard with our motor factories, we have been able to hit new record low rates on mechanical failure on our motors.
Next step will be releasing new line of motors in following weeks so stay tuned.

What about a direct prop mount, instead of the poor way the props are mounted today ? - with bulky prop adapters and shaft that are both prone to bending ?
CanadaDrones only sell the new Black jDrones motors for quite some time, great feedback on them, users reported less noise/vibration, better performance overall and only 1 RMA to date (screw with no threads on it!)
so I can say that Jani effort really paid off, the quality is there for the same awesome price.
Thanks Jani and all the folks at jDrones.com

Good news.
just a small question - will you have a MORE powerful motor than the 2836 ?
That's a really good question. And are prepared for that.
If your original motors are from jDrones (pink/yellowish) with jDrones sticker on it, yes you can replace it with these. If you order motor directly from us, we have small backup reserve of old colored motors in stock but you need to request that specific during checkout/email.
