Tamiya mini cooper

I just started racing an M03 a month or so ago. The track I run at follows the TCS rules for this class, so I've been keeping to them. There is a big race coming up at a different location that will be allowing silver can and black can motors. What classifies as a "black can" motor? Similar to the silver can, closed endbell, and black ? I'm assuming the Tamiya RS-540 Sport Tuned Motor falls under this catagory.
Thanks,

You have to use some modern Radio gear to fit back there. I have a Keyence speed control,and Sanwa reciever in the rear of one of my cars.
I run the wires through the center of the chassis,over the battery pack. you can also run your motor wires throung the chassisby drilling small holes between where the motor is and where the battery mounts.
The M03 can clean up very nice and hide all of the wires if you want it to.

yeah i understand using the new smaller electronics will work well but he said he had the KIT Esc in the back of the car. i guess he had to take the chassis apart put in in there then reassemble it??

P.S. You're right Chuck..getting that KIT ESC in the back of the chassis wouldn;t be easy at all!

....
It's an extremely tight fit in a M-03, but an easy easy fit in an M-03M or M-03L...

Hi guys. What is the recommended aluminium steering knuckles for the original M03 chassis? If I use the M03R knuckles (49441) do I need to change anything else, ie the uprights?
Also, when using the large Kimbrough servo saver, is it better to space down the servo mounts or space up the tie rod ends? I had originally spaced up the tie rod end but stripped out the connector on the first touch - the spacer greatly reduces the amount of contact area in the thread. By moving to the alloy knuckle this will provide some additional strength but I am in two minds whether to persist with this or go back to spacing the servo down.
Cheers.

Ride inserts are the same size as most other, so they still leave a significant air gap inside a 60D.
