nazgul evoque keeps pulling left after crash, tried everything

  • Members

so anyway this has been driving me nuts for three days now. crashed my evoque pretty hard into a tree (motor hit the trunk directly, not just a tip over) and ever since then theres this consistent left pull in angle mode and its even worse in acro. ive already done the obvious stuff, swapped all four props with fresh ones, checked the motors by hand and they all spin freely with no grinding, ran the motor test in betaflight and they all spin up at the same time.

ran accelerometer calibration on a flat surface, triple checked it. still pulling. the frame looks straight to my eye but i didnt measure anything. running 4.4.0 btw. starting to wonder if i bent a motor shaft just slightly or something in the fc took a hit. the vtx and receiver are totally fine, no issues there

bent motor shaft is almost definitely it if everthing else checks out. even a tiny bend you cant feel by hand will cause enough vibration to mess with the gyro readings and the FC tries to compensate which shows up as a directional pull. pull each motor off and roll the shaft on a flat surface, you'll see it wobble if its bent. replacement shafts are like $2 each if you can source them, otherwise just swap the whole motor.

also worth checking if the fc mount standoffs got shifted, ive seen crashes knock an fc slightly off-axis and the gyro just never reads right again until you reseat it properly with new soft mounts

had the exact same thing happen with my meteor75 after a bad one, turned out one of the soft mount grommets on the stack had basically disintegrated from the impact so the whole fc was sitting crooked. couldnt see it just looking at it either. anyway worth pulling the stack apart if the motor shaft thing doesnt pan out
