I need help in checking my logs. Everything was going good until I initiated a takeoff. It crashed in motor 3’s direction.

Here’s my logs: 2. March 31- Crash - Google Drive
Brushless Motor: Tarot 4114-11 kv320
Brushless ESC: 40A 2-6S Lipo
and a 4S Lipo Battery.

Looks like a motor/ESC/prop failure. No battery or ESC data to dig further.

It’s a bad idea to launch a craft on default parameters let alone run an Auto Mission. Even the most basic Initial Tune Parameters were not done.

can this motor/esc/prop failure be seen if i just manually control the drone without the propellers attached?

Arming on the bench to run the motors is fun but the results end up confusing new builders. Don’t bother with it. Follow the setup and tuning instructions in the wiki and that will include using the motor test function in Mission Planner.

Better yet, look up the Methodic Configurator.
