How do you replace the motors - what type of soldering do you need to buy?

I haven't replaced one, but I read it is best to stagger cut the wires in the legs & solder them there. I wouldn't chance frying the board by soldering on it. Use 60/40 solder as it melts better than the lead free stuff. If you don't solder, maybe you can get a friend to show you. Good Luck

This ship as a water tight compartment, you need remove all parts on the top and open the compartment to replace the motor, but make sure it's motor problem before you go through all the trouble, usually motors don't have problems, if me I will check the remote first, this remote is pretty simple, it's just two on/off switches, make sure those connecters has good contact.

I didn't find parts either, not from shark anyway. They only offer to fix it for shipping costs, if it's still under warranty. They also offered a replacement at a discounted cost. I bet if you research the motor, you can probably get brushes or bearings. I couldn't find the armature at a worth while price. That's what went bad on mine. I threw it on a shelf and cut my losses. What part do you need? Maybe I can send it to you if it's not crapped out on mine. :) Chris

Unfortunately, I don't know where you could get motor parts for it. But, I would suggest contacting the company to see if they can help. They did help me with a problem I had the first time I cleaned this. The motor seemed to stop working, but it was simply an air bubble. I got a quick response from the company, which was how the problem was diagnosed. So maybe they would be able to help with your issue. Good luck.

I'm not sure what your asking but what I have is that replacement kit with no motor however due to a tree I have the tail motor because it broke off. I hope this the correct answer. wade J.

You must unscrew the circuit board and remove the motor. It's a tight fit but doable you'll need to remove the propellers first of course. Keep in mind the pitch of the propellers. If you don't put them back the same it won't take off.

If the connectors are the same, you need not change anything, just plug in the new motor. If they are not the same there should have been a re-wire instructions in the box.

I believe if you purchase one without it you will have to de-solder the original from the broken component and then solder it onto the replacement.

the electric motor is burned out or its related plastic gears are locked up. It would require electronics & soldering knowledge to fix. I fixed one one battery train that had a similar problem, in which a wire came loose from the electrical motor and had to be soldered back on.

Wire nuts should be all you need. Soldering is a better connection, but don't solder them right at the board. You may cause damage to the board or cause the preattached wires to become loose at the board.

i used an old plugin transformer (phone, game, etc) and soldered the wires to the motor.

...whoever you bought it from...may not respond favorably. Why not try jiggling the connector from the motor to the board? It's what I did when I got the same prob. Loose connection...

It's LED so you really can't unless you want to break the soldering gun out and solder new ones in. I don't believe it was made to replace.

check the wire connections on the rear motor make sure both blue and red wires are firmly connected, then check other end of blue and red wire on the pcb under the canopy, be sure they are firmly connected, if any wires are loose solder them back on (be very careful) if they all are connected correctly then you need to replace the rear motor.

One of the most important item you want to match up is the amps..it's ok if the newer motor draws slightly higher ..but never less than your current motor..and it is agood practice to change capacitor at the same time..and remember the shaft will have to be cut to size as it will be longer than the one you have now...) no bigge)

It requires soldering - it's not a simple remove and replace. There are some YouTube videos out there, but unless you're very comfortable with soldering, suggest you buy a new unit.
