Are we sure that these are different motors, or could they possibly be the same motor, with a different gear? After all, the spec. sheet (from Mabuchi, not F-P) deals only with the motor characteristics--the pinion itself is apparently reflected in the F-P (and likely not the Mabuchi) part number.

To see if this theory is correct, it would be useful if team members were to post the tooth count of their F-P pinion (i.e. 13, 14, 15, or something else), the F-P model number (e.g. 74550-0642) and the Mabuchi date code (e.g. TD034701) for their motors, so we can see if the proper motors (per Paul's data sheet) can come with different gears, but still under one F-P part #.
