Tail Stopped Working
I have a brand new mCP X and I am on my 2nd day of getting to try and fly it...
Well I had a crash that broke a link and cracked the main blades... Now that I have that stuff repaired, the tail will not spin at all... The tail motor gets a little warm and the wires and plug on the 3in1 board is fine... The boom is straight and not cracked... The wires going to the tail motor look fine... What else could it be? Also, the tail rotor is a little tough to spin by hand -- I do not remember how hard it was to spin before the crash since this is pretty much only my 2nd time getting to play with it...

How quick were you on the throttle hold? If the tail motor was trying to spin during the crash, that will quickly burn it out. It's cheap for a new boom with the motor already attached. Put that on and if it works, you have found your problem.
Also, be sure a bunch of hair or string isn't wound up around the tail motor |

Did you look on the other side of the 3-1 at the tail FET to make sure it wasn't cooked?

Is this a common problem that can happen after a crash? The FET on the other side of where the tail wires plug in looks like from a visual inspection...

EDIT: Yeah I put a little mark on the shaft so I could see it turn and then tried to spin it by hand and with a pair of needle nose pliers and it very hard to make it move...

Thanks to this thread: https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=367454 I took a pair of needle nose pliers and pulled as hard as I could on the tail motor shaft and it now WORKS... WOOT!

I just wanted to say that I honestly thought my tail motor was dead and that this wouldn't work... Tried it today and I'm back in the air!! Thank you so much for posting this, I almost gave up cause I didn't want to buy tail motors every 60 flights (2 have died on me).
