I believe:
We got a small Johnson motor in the kit in 2002.

But...
The FP motor is actually a Johnson or Mabuchi motor (we've had both in the past). So when someone says "The Mabuchi motor" they could really be reffering to the FP.

I'm trying to think...
The FP from 2002 was a Mabuchi.
The FP from 2003 was a Johnson and it was MUCH more powerful than the previous Mabuchi.
The FP from 2004 was a Johnson, but it's specs were similar to the Mabuchi from 2002 and wasn't quite as powerful.

Any motor wizzes out there remember differently?
