This is not true in my case. I have a P3P that does not have any mention of W322A on the box and it has the new motors.
It does have W322A on the sticker on the P3P though.
That is correct the W322A only shows on the p3a. I know there is no such number on the pro. Hence the only way to tell is by the picture on the box. That's the only indication so far from my findings.
Joeyjoe, did u meant to say that on your p3a it has that number ? I think u made a typo.
Sorry, yes. W323A is on my bird, not W322A.
Guess that is the DJI designator: 322=Advanced and 323=Pro.
Joeyjoe,
Would you mind posting a picture of all the box stickers of your p3 pro..you can hide your serial number.
I wasn't even aware that the pro had a number assigned to it. If you confirm that the pro box indeed says 323A then that might be another way of telling if it's a newer model..I would really appreciate it.
No need for this paranoia.I bought my P3P at Best Buy and I have 45 days left to return/exchange. I'm hopping they get new shipment in with the updated model. If not I'll return it and wait for them to receive the new P3P.
I think the whole point is people dont want a 25% chance that their shell is going to crack. and yes the evThere is no evidence at all for theories that there is any problem with the earlier motors.

Well there's no denying that old motors heat a lot more than the newer ones. Heat and plastic don't go along very well as we know. Combine that with all the cycles of going from hot to cold to hot cold and so on.. The plastic shell could become brittle over time close to the motor mounts and thus stress cracks can develop easily.
Forums are full of factoids .. ie information that becomes accepted as a fact even though it’s not actually true, or an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print.I actually can back it up. its true about the heat. very true
So true... Like these guys swearing "this is illegal" and "that is illegal" and then can quote no such law saying as such, but others pick it up and go on spewing crap about how this or that is illegal and everyone just accepts it. Take everything with a grain of salt.Forums are full of factoids .. ie information that becomes accepted as a fact even though it’s not actually true, or an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print.

there is proof on this website on how hot the original motors get.

I just went out and flew 3 batteries back to back and can't get my original motors any thing more than just barely warm.
Until I see real numbers or something more than some guy on a forum saying that the original motors run hot, I'm going to remain skeptical.
Proof? That photo proves nothing but reading the whole thread proves something quite interesting. It shows that the original motors don't have a heat problem at all - and this was worked out a month ago. But the myth persisted and is still being rehashed on the forum.
Reading through that thread shows that the actual temperatures reached were:
29 deg for red and 25 for Yellow. Blue was 20. So it is 30% increase but that was only after 1 minute of hovering. I will do a 20 min flight this afternoon and measure again. If it is not reaching 40 degrees heat will be a non issue and the plastics re-inforcements will work.
After 30 minutes of flight (2 batteries) in an ambient sunny temperature of around 25 degrees C the max temperature that the motors reached was 38 on the bottom of the plastic.
With my limited knowledge of plastics I will concur with what a few said in this thread - It is not of such great concern.
So the max temp reached was 117°F or 38°C .. just a little warmer than body temperature and nothing that could be considered hot and nothing that should be a concern with ABS plastic.
This matches my own observations from the two P3s I have experience with which zero signs of cracking as well as many others I have heard of second hand.
I suspect this is a good indication that only some P3s had the problem, most likely due to a bad batch of plastic or poor moulding technique.
That thread proves that the hypothesis of excess heat in the original motors is a problem is simply not true. All the posts further concerned about the presumed heat problem of older motors and superiority of new ones can't be taken seriously.
When you ignore real evidence and chase unsubstantiated rumours and forum factoids, you are usually wasting time and effort.
