I think if DJI recommended motor covers, and the accompanying restriction of cooling air flow they would have designed the motor with something integral. ... none of their drones seem to have this as a factory item. Just my humble opinion.
Hey everyone, I picked up a MM yesterday. I hadn’t ever really handled one in person before buying one, and the one thing that alarmed me
Is how exposed the motor coils are. I’m a metal worker and metal “dust” is very commonly on my person no matter how careful I am. Those motors would literally be a magnet for contamination.
I saw that there are aftermarket caps that conceal the motors, but would you then need to be concerned with a heating problem? Are they exposed the way they are just because of a weight trim down, or are these some sort of higher RPM motors that need to breathe. All other DJI drones motors are concealed and do fine...
In the video, at about the 1:10 point, it says to discard the original screws after using them to remove the threadlocker from the motor housing. So, I would say that replacing is, if not directly required, is at least recommended by DJI.Really dont know... Manual and video instructions does not clarify it properly
I agree, from what I recall Mavic Air motors don’t have a great deal of open area eitherHere's a spark propeller, a tight gap.?

For the MM, weight has priority over (almost) everything else.I think if DJI recommended motor covers, and the accompanying restriction of cooling air flow they would have designed the motor with something integral. ... none of their drones seem to have this as a factory item.

Sorry that was unclear. I meant for DJI during construction. Of course I also load stuff (motor covers as one example)Not for everyone
