CHASING DORY DISASSEMBLY, Cleaning and motor servicing

- In this video I will show you how to disassemble the CHASING: DORY ROV and how to service it based on my experience and knowledge. I couldn't find anything online so I decided to come up with my own tutorial.
CAUTION: If you went with OPTION 2 (taking off the connector), make sure you first hand tighten the connector when re-assembling everything. If you use a spanner or pliers, you tighten till you feel resistance. Too tight and you will ruin the thread!
Hope you guys enjoy it for my first video and let me know what you think :) - Ігри
Good job
Thanks
Were all of your case screws philips? ONE of mine was a T6 anti-tamper torx. ONE. That's just spiteful lol. I've ordered a full set of long anti-tamper torx so I can finally open up the case and work on my forward port thruster.
Sorry for the late reply. I am not sure I saw a Y6 screw whilst opening it coz it's been a while. That's a good idea replacing the screws. Good luck working on the forward por thruster :)
Very informative video! I noticed that one of the screws is different from others. What size of the screw driver did you use?
To be honest I use a "wide enough" philips screwdriver so I don't damage the heads of the screws. If the head of any scew gets damaged, I replace it with a Nickel based screw. Do not use steel.
@@Andrbusu Thanks!
Is it possible to get stronger lights ?

Sorry for the late reply haha. Well, if you know how to get a 3W-8W LED, wire it up and house it in clear epoxy to waterproof it, then yes, it is possible ;)
@@Andrbusu Tack !
Ummmm. I understand that you opened it 'cause you wanted... Yet i think opening it i think makes the warranty void instantly... I thikt this is what we can do when rov is after warranty and to sens it for service would be parting your rov for more than a month... I think this is not a standard post use approach...
Thank you for the comment and feedback. I usually work on things that would have gone out of their warranty time ofcourse. The motors seem very prone to rusting and seizing quickly so I had no other choice but to work on it. As long as the main module is not damaged and the connectors are in good condition, then the ROV is operational. Luckily I also have the right knowledge and experience to do work like this.
