I don't get stock motors. I mean I thought the mabuchi 540 was a stock but I
see they have all these expensive ones and they seem to have different
characteristics like high torque or high rpm.

So really, why is a stock motor so called?

Thanks in advance

Stock can actually mean two things here.
It can mean, this is the motor that came stock with the kit.
Or it is the 'stock' motor.

Or, it can be used to describe a motor that conforms to a set of
specifications. This is the more widely accepted definition.
Many motors from different companies can be 'stock' because they
all meet the same specs.
So when you race "stock" class, they all have to meet that spec.
So if you enter a stock event, you will run a 24 degree 27 turn motor.
It could have been sold/assembled by one of many companies.
