This is mostly true. However a lot (or mostly all) motors go into a different version per efficiency sake or durability reasons like thicker solder tabs which are heavier but then remove metal from where the screws are drilled and tapped or few other areas or updated standard rotor or some sale pitch like that.. second and third generation motors are top notch some gen 4 motors are there in this version designation due to rules like the trinity monster debate and the supposed winding issues..

Mod motors usually have adjustable timing.
