Hello everyone,
I've recently replaced my P3P's outer shell after a crash broke one of the motor connections. Everything booted up fine on the first try, and after calibrationg IMU and compass I tried to take off. However, this just gave me the well-known ESC status error (rebooting doesn't change anything). So I took off the top shell again to look at what could be wrong with the motors - they all turn just fine, however on one the cable appears to be damaged. This motor however still worked after the crash, just until I put it in the new shell. I think something's wrong with the motor cable.
I've attached some pics of the motor's cable.
So, what's my best bet in this situation? If I just buy a new motor and put that in, will it work or is the ESC permanently fried?
Greetings & thanks in advance!
