How do I clean my drones?

These are some important things to remember before cleaning your drone. This guide will teach you how to extract every bit from your drone.

1. You need the right tools. Before you begin anything, ensure you have all of the necessary tools. You will need a soft brush or a toothbrush and a cleaning agent (we recommendWD40).
2. You must remove the battery pack. First thing first - remove the battery from the bottom of your drone. It's easy to locate the battery underneath the propeller. Just take care not to lose any screws during removal.
3. Take off all parts. Next, remove all parts from the drone's underside. You should make sure that they are not loose as they could fall off during cleaning.
4. Use a cleaning product. Now, it's time to clean your drone. We recommend that you use WD40 as a cleaning agent before doing this. Spray the entire drone with the cleaner. Make sure to get between every component. Let it dry completely before you put everything back together.
5. Turn on the battery. After cleaning your drone, you should put the battery back into its original place. This will allow you to check how your drone performs after cleaning.
