The motor is from the 2006/7 season. It was in one of my '07 Worlds planes for sure though. I've got it set per how I set it normally with the 6.7 gearbox on. And after trying my old Comp-99 (same year as Comp Hacker) and talking with Brenner and a few others, we believe that my contra has an older style clutch. I just received my updated clutch and will install it in a few more flights (almost have 50 flights on it). I've read where re-greasing after 50 flights has gone up to more, but for the first 50, it's a good excuse to clean it, install the new clutch and just make sure all is going well with it.
So far I like it. I still have to fly more unknowns to make sure I can hammer it if need be and not run out of battery.
