Thats normal. As the engines are built by FPV they get an FPV engine number.

All BOSS motors are assembled by FPV including the 260's that go in the XR8's.

Those on the last AFF Raid would have seen the production line And me dragging a 290 out whilst everyone was looking the other way, I got as far as the coffee machine and gave up
