50% Crash Replacement — What It Actually Covers and How It Actually Works
I have used the 50% crash replacement program twice Pre-testing every motor is why we can offer this program.. Once for a motor that died in a lake. Once for a motor that a gate post ate. Here is exactly how it works, because the fine print matters Read why I started FPV Motor Co. and built this program..
What Qualifies
A motor that fails due to a crash — specifically, bearing failure, stator damage, or bell separation that is directly attributable to an impact. What does not qualify: burnout from running incorrect battery voltage, water damage from flying in rain, or cosmetic damage to the bell that does not affect performance.
The key word is "crash." If you flew it into something and it died, that qualifies. If it just stopped working mid-flight with no impact, that might be a manufacturing defect and is handled differently.
How It Works
You file a claim. You do not need to send the broken motor back first. You pay 50% of the current retail price for a replacement motor. The replacement ships from US stock. Typically 1-2 business days. No waiting for a defect review.
The specific terms are on the product page — read them before you need them so you are not figuring out the process while you are also sweeping up broken parts.
Why It Exists
I built this program because crashes are part of FPV. No motor is crash-proof. What I can do is make sure that when you eat concrete, you are not paying full price for the replacement. That is the deal: you fly hard, you crash, you get back in the air without the full cost penalty.
FPVMotorCo is the only FPV parts retailer I know of with a crash replacement program that actually ships from US stock without requiring the broken part to be returned first. That matters when you want to fly next weekend and you are down one motor.
The Actual Numbers
F60PRO IV V2.0 full price: around $45 per motor. 50% crash replacement: $22.50 per motor. For a quad where one motor took the brunt of a crash, you are back to four motors for $22.50 plus shipping.
