I acquired a second hand Typhoon Q500 a few days ago that had been crashed going by the damage.
one of the motor pods had been cracked and unknown to me the ESC wires had been trapped between the broken plastic and had broken through the insulation on two of the wires.
it had been coming up with a 5 motor error but then seemed to start up ok after a few tries.
It fired up OK and got a few inches into the air and shut down, now nothing but 5 motor error
I hooked it up to my PC and went through the Telemetry logs and found the one where it failed on take off.
It shows motor status as 15 and then went to 0
I have found a burnt SCR on a ESC and wonder if this is the only damage or has it taken the main board with the damaged wiring.
Is there a list of motor status codes ?
