Shark III Helicopter (MIC1200) Main Motor Replacement

This guide provides information on replacing the main motors in your Shark III Helicopter (MIC1200). These motors are crucial for the helicopter's flight, and knowing how to replace them is a key skill for maintenance. Note: This procedure requires soldering.

Identifying the Motors

The Shark III uses two main motors, designated as Motor A and Motor B. Correctly identifying them is critical for correct wiring. Motor A is located in the rear of the helicopter and uses black and red wiring. Motor B is in the front, with blue and white wiring.

Replacement Procedure (Simplified)

2. Access: Carefully disassemble the helicopter to access the motor needing replacement. Consult your helicopter's manual for detailed disassembly instructions.
3. Desolder: Using a soldering iron, carefully desolder the existing motor's wires from the circuit board. Take notes on the wiring configuration before removing them.
4. Solder New Motor: Solder the wires of the replacement motor onto the circuit board in the exact same configuration. Double-check your connections!
5. Reassemble: Carefully reassemble the helicopter.
6. Test: Connect the battery and cautiously test the helicopter.

Remember to handle all components with care. If you're not comfortable with soldering, consider seeking assistance from someone with experience. Happy flying!
