Bearing Question on new 5700

[Dadx2mj]

I just received a new 5700kv motor. It appears to be from the new supplier I have been hearing about. The bullet connectors are different, it has hex screws holding on the end caps, and the shaft is slightly shorter and the bevel on it where it comes out of can is different than previous 5700's I have had. My question is I have read that the bearings on these motors have been beefed up from a 5x11x5 sized bearing to 5x14x5 size. Is this true? TIA

I don't know the exact size offhand -- BUT the new bearing is larger, and is a Koyo (Japanese) CNC quality bearing. The older motor had a smaller Chinese bearing.

Thanks for the fast reply. That is music to my ears, every issue I have had with any Castle motors have been bearing related so it is great to know Castle has made some changes there.
