quad vibrating way more than usual after a pretty minor tip-over

  • Members

this has been bugging me for like two weeks now. had a really slow tip-over landing on grass, nothing violent at all, and ever since the vibes on my quad are noticeably worse. checked the props they look fine, motors all spin smooth by hand, frame looks fine visually. ran the motors in betaflight and the gyro noise in blackbox is definitely worse than before the incident, especially on roll axis.

i've already tried rebalancing the props and cleaning up the motor screws. not sure what else to look at. its flyable but the video is getting that jello effect and my rates feel mushier somehow which might just be my imagination

check if your flight controller mounting is still solid. those rubber standoffs can tear or deform from even a light impact and they're basically impossible to see unless you really pull on the stack. a degraded fc mount will absolutely tank your gyro noise and give you exactly the jello you're describing. also worth checking the motor screws again even if you already did ? one slightly loose screw on a motor can do a surprising amount of damage to your blackbox graphs

had almost the exact same thing happen to me. turned out one of my motors had a bearing that was just barely starting to go, wasnt obvious spinning it by hand but under load it was introducing all this noise. i only figured it out by swapping motors one at a time and watching the blackbox after each swap. annoying process but thats how i isolated it. the tip over probably just knocked something loose internally that you cant see from the outside

also worth double checking your prop shaft collet if you use those, sometimes they get slightly bent and it looks totally fine but throws everything off
