Sounds like most of us with some machine tool, car, whatever. My car has the grill and one headlight reflector held together with epoxy and wire, you have to look close to see it. Also the bent metal was fixed with a ratchet winch (come-along) and a handy oak tree. Almost as good as new.

Found the problem, it had TWO bad motors. The one you had removed and one other. The intermittent was because part of the brush assembly broke so there was a piece of metal floating around in there randomly shorting things out. Complements to the circuit designer that the driver FET didn't go up in smoke.

Hopefully now it will hover without suddenly acting like a dog that just saw a shiny object..."HEY, come back here! HEEL!!!"
