@ bigred78 - on the side of the box the model # of the bird is listed as W323 for those w/ old motors & W323A for those w/ new motors. I can only personally verify the former (as I have the P3P w/ old motors). I have seen photos on threads here and elsewhere showing the 'A'. Personally, I fall in line generally with the sentiment of this thread which I will summarize as the "old" motors have done me fine for almost 100 flights so far. I honestly believe (as previously discussed above), DJI made these moves to streamline manufacture/repair processes. Brings another large fruit-themed technology company to mind where everything is soldered to the main logic board as of the last few years. Easier for manufacturer to replace, near impossible for customer/consumer to work with. Just fruit for thought & a shameless pun - happy Monday.
