vadn1,
What FX.12 motor are you looking to get?
Differentiating the Stock from the Modified can obviously be done
just by looking at the case color... From looking at a sealed box,
it should be labelled FX T-03S (For Stock) and FX T-03 (For Modified).
The 5 ports should show FX T-05...
About the ceramics... the balls should be colored Blackish Grey
while the stock traditional bearings are the Silver Chrome.
Again, the ceramics are optionals to be requested when ordering the motor.
I suggest you get a sealed box each time you get one of these
to ensure it came straight from the JP Racing Factory kinda like
these that was left from the batch we got in. Now the seal can
be peeled and then re-pressed in. That's why just like what Mark
mentioned, it does help if you get it from a trusted source.
