I sometimes run my P4 to the max in s mode for the life of the battery and never had that. ? Did you loose a prop first?

1 post from Nang! Could be his first and last post?

If it (dropped) from the sky like he claimed. I doubt there will be anything left!

My P4 gave this warning yesterday when flying at 400' and in Atti Mode. I had the wind at my back and the aircraft hit 58.8 mph. When this happened I switched to Sport mode to slow it down. Unlike you mine continued flying normally however.

You just replied to an old thread so the original posters probably won't answer but unless you were doing some radical flying in gusty conditions the most likely cause of the max motor speed warning is a prop breaking or flying off. Although your Phantom is looking rather second hand can you see if all the props were still attached when it impacted the ground.

all props, at least the remains of, were still attached

Well that's the obvious solution thrown out, maybe if you posted your log someone might be able to help. Its obvious from the thread you replied to that the problem has happened to others but there doesn't seem to be any solutions found yet.

If one blade broke off a prop I expect there would be a horrible vibration through the AC and the FC would try to increase motor speed to compensate for the reduced lift, is that a possibility.

Another line of investigation is how does the Phantom measure motor speed and what can go wrong there

I got that message yesterday in Sport Mode, about 350' altitude and headed outbound while testing new reflectors for the RC antennas. I backed off the speed a bit and the message cleared.
