All Scorpion Motors and Speed Controller are covered by a 2-Year manufacturers warranty against defects in materials and workmanship*. During the warranty period Scorpion will repair motor or speed controller that is found to be defective, providing that it has no signs of damage or abuse. The user will be responsible for shipping charges back to an authorized Scorpion Repair Facility, and Scorpion will pay the return shipping charges. If the damage is the result of a crash or mis-use, the return item will be repaired, but the cost of repairs will be billed to the user. Repairs will never exceed 50% of the cost of a new motor, and if the motor is badly damaged or non-repairable, a brand new motor will be offered at 50% discount of the current retail price for the motor plus a nominal shipping charge. If the motor returned is no longer in production, Scorpion reserves the right to substitute another motor of equal or better quality.

 

*Due to the high RPM of Scorpion Motors, and the fact that we have no control of the user’s installation and setup, the bearings are not covered by the 2-year warranty, nor is any subsequent damage caused to the motor by a bearing failure.  Bearing are considered to be a normal wear item, and as such, need to be maintained and changed periodically.  For maximum life usage, we recommend users make sufficient gap between pinion and main gear during installation to avoid binding, and put a small drop of lubrication oil on each bearing for every 5-6 flights.  It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that the bearings are maintained properly.
