[SOLVED] Expected CF2 Motor Life?

Post by ThatFlieCray »

Assuming that the motors are aren't damaged in any crashes, what is the expected life of the CrazyFlie 2 (CF2) motors?

That is a difficult question as it depends highly on the load. Under full load heat will degrade it and the life is roughly 4 hours. Under normal load the wear of the brushes and bearings will kill it and unfortunately we don't have a figure for that. We have had a CF2 hovering during ~10 hours straight with only batteries being switched and still going strong.
