What makes a brushless motor "modified"? Is it tweaked to provide better performance? Is it better than a non modified brushless motor, by how much?
So if I buy a non-modified motor, can I make it "modified"? How?
Or can I "modify" it? Can someone list in detail what parts of a brushless motor makes it qualify as "modified"?
I think you are confused because "modified" is the past tense of the verb "to modify". Don't think of them as motors that someone did modifications ("changes") to. They are all manufactured the same way.
You could just as easily call them "Paper" and "Rock" motors. "Paper" are slower and produce less power. "Rock" are faster and produce more power. The words "stock" and "modified" are holdovers from brushed motor days. Even then, the words weren't really applicable because the "modified" motors had no modifications done to them - they were made that way to begin with. It is just a bunch of B.S. naming for people who need simplistic terms.
