Pinion gear only available with the 2200kv MMv3?

[speedemall]

I got the monster combo today with the 2650 kv and there was no pinion included.I was at my LHS last week and saw an open box 2200 combo that had a green pinion gear included,why is that? I also did not get the cd rom,is that not included also? The opened version I saw had the wires hard wired into the esc unlike mine that has the three plugs that are removable. Do I have an older V3 thus being the reason why I didn't get any of these two things??
