So I made the mistake of ruining my motors by using mounting screws that were too long. Ruined the coils. I started the drone a couple of times and it had errors initially before I found out what was wrong. Not sure if the screws in the coils shorted anything out.
I ordered new motors, the correct motors (triple checked with DJI AND the seller). Installed the motors and my phantom takes off PERFECTLY.
But after 5 seconds of flight, i see 4 red lights and the "Battery Error" message in the top left of the DJI Go App. When the error hits, the battery status screen all goes to n/a and the phantom lands itself. All four red lights underneath the phantom are solid when this happens.
I've double checked my solder connections with the motors. They are all re-glued down with liquid electrical tape just like DJI had them originally so they dont shake loose. I look at the battery levels before the error has a chance to show up and it looks pretty good as far as I can tell (please check the attached image below).
I contacted camrise who I bought the motors from, and they are suggesting its a bad ESC board, althought I've not received a single ESC board error. Another guy said the battery could be bad now since I unknowingly ran it with the broken motors.
I also have test running the battery completely down and recharging it to see if I could possibly get it to reset in case that was an issue.
So my questions are this:

So my questions are this:
- Should I buy a new battery and test that?
- If it IS the ESC board is it possible I wouldnt get an ESC error?
- Is there a way to use that NAZA app or something to run some sort of tests on teh board to check for failures?
