Monster motor case new or used?

[ecargmij]

I bought a 3 pack of "unused" motor cases on ebay.. this 38/480 appears to be used with some small pitting.. any thoughts? The other 2 cases are smooth on the inside and do not have any discoloration.. looks fine just not unused like they described is all..thank you

Could be weirdness in the anodizing on a non-machined surface.

Thank you, I don't have any cases other than some cti so I wasn't really sure.. the aft closure is spotless but here's a pic of the forward closure

Looks to me like used and not cleaned for some time after use.

Definitely not "new unused". But it's fine.

I was thinking it was fine to use just thought it was definitely used and not sure.. the seller gave me $30 back (without me asking) and it's all good.. just having not used cases before I wasn't completely sure.. thank you

Both parts are used.

Those bumps in the case come from greasing the liner before flight.

Greasing causes pits?. there's no bumps but small pitting

Nope, thought they looked like bumps. I was getting bumps until I stopped greasing the liners.

I had a hard time getting the inside to come out clear..

I am sure that it is more than usable.
