| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
| The model is vibrating | Unbalanced propeller | Balance the propeller |
| The model is vibrating | Propeller is a poor fit on the adapter, too large a bore of propeller for the adapter | Use a new well balanced propeller or a bush which provides minimal clearance between the propeller and adapter |
| The model is vibrating | Weak motor mount which works as an amplifier of vibration | Strengthen the motor mount, and glue or fix it well to the fuselage |
| The model is vibrating | Motor mounting is loose | Tighten the mounting screws of the motor |
| The model is vibrating | Wrong timing selected | Use "hard timing" with Jeti controllers and AXi outrunner motors |
| Motor jerks or turns very slowly | Foreign object inside the motor (for instance dirt after landing, metal partical, washers etc.) | Remove foreign objects carefully with pressurised air or tweezer. Customer service may be needed. |
| Motor jerks or turns very slowly | Burned motor after oveloading | Customer service is needed |
| Motor jerks or turns very slowly | Poor connections between motor and controller | Re-solder motor connections |
| Motor is overheating | Overloaded motor | Measure the maximum current at maximum throttle with a fully charged battery. The current should not be higher than the current capacity shown in the specification table. If you use unusually high-capacity or high-current Li-Polys the voltage under load can be high even when using the recommended props, and this can result in higher current. In this case use a smaller diameter or lower pitch propeller. |
| Motor is overheating | Lack of motor cooling | Allow air to flow through the motor, for example using cooling holes in the firewall of the model |
| Low power from a power system with an AXI motor | Use of Li-Poly cells intended for low current loads (high current can cause damage to low current Li-poly cells) | Use Li-poly cells with a higher current capability or higher capacity cells which can carry the load. |
| Low power from a power system with an AXI motor | Unsuitable power system design (motor, batteries, ESC) | Use an optimized power system which is recommended for each AXI motor |
