DJI FlyCart 100 210cc Commercial Cargo Drone Starter Motor | 12V 1.5kW 10T CW | OE 023000012

Twelve volts. 1.5 kW. Ten teeth, clockwise, read with the pinion facing you. The can runs longer than the 178cc motor and the flange sits flat instead of stepped.

Direction is where people lose money. A nine-tooth counter-clockwise unit drops into the same holes and then fights the engine. On a 210cc single that shows up as kickback and a chewed bendix within a handful of starts.

Mounting. Flange to the block, one main stud for the cable, one spade for the trigger. Count the holes on your old unit before ordering. Two-bolt and three-bolt housings both exist in this size and they do not interchange.

The airframe side. FlyCart 100 carries 80 kg in single-battery mode and 65 kg with two packs. 149.9 kg maximum take-off weight, 26 km empty range, IP55, minus 20 to 40 degrees, 6000 m ceiling.

All electric. Four arms, eight props, 62-inch carbon blades, 82 kg of thrust per arm, 41 Ah DB2160 pack that charges in nine minutes. No flywheel, no ring gear, nothing up there for a starter to turn.

What it does drive. Ground power carts and hybrid test benches run a 200 to 210cc gasoline single. That engine has a flywheel with a ring gear. This motor turns it.

One number. 023000012, on the label. I looked through dealer catalogues, cross-reference tools and auction listings. Nothing came back. Treat the label as the only authority and compare it with your old unit before money moves.

Before you pay. Photograph the old motor from four sides. Count teeth by touch. Measure the nose with a caliper. Measure bolt spacing centre to centre, and note how many holes the flange has.

Fitting. Negative lead off. Trigger spade. Main stud. Flange bolts last, two passes, even load. Do not add shims to close a gap. Shim thickness sets mesh depth, and mesh depth is what kills teeth.

If it will not crank. Key on, one click, silence. Check the battery under load, not at rest. Then the relay. Then the ground strap. A whine with no rotation is the bendix, not the winding. Grinding on a fresh install is a crooked nose. In the box: one motor, terminals capped. Six months against DOA and winding faults. Single samples ship fine. Twenty pieces starts a production run. Fifteen to thirty days.
