It doesn't make ANY difference whether its an M03 or an M03M Aaron.... They'll fit on either.
The only thing which will be a problem is the steering knuckles as the M03M has a different front end and the old style alloy ones won't fit. But you don't need em anyway on the M.

SPICE MINI TYRES
Hello all,
Have been running the Spice 32R mini tyres on the rear of my MO3R and believe them to be as good as when running Pits on the rear. They are packed with the Hard Tamiya foam insert. These tyres hang on well on high and low traction tracks and are internally belted. These are smaller in diameter than 60D's but larger than Rides/Pits.
I haven't tried them on the front, as yet, still run 60D's for the higher roll out.
Just thought I would share this info with fellow mini drivers. Especially now that you can't get RP,HPI and Pit mini tyres.

SPICE 32R
Vicko,
I have not tried them on carpet.
I have only driven on carpet twice and use the tamiya M grips front and the standard mini tyres rear for carpet. The inserts I used were the standard hard Tamiya foam. I also found the HPI 4533 Mini Super radial M compound tyres for carpet work well, especially on the front.
Hope that helps.

I got a question for any of you mini guys. I probably know most of the answers now but I am having brain farts. I want to know what hop-ups from the mo3 will work on the mo3m. My mini has alu steering knuckles, sway bars, tao3 ball diff, cva short shocks, carbon shaft set. What out of all of that can I still use, I know the shocks & diff for sure the rest I dunno. Please let me know asap.
Peace Aaron(W-W)

I tried the spice 32 tyres on the weekend, and they had more grip than anything I have run. The car was traction rolling when I had them on all 4 corners of the car.
I tried with spice on the back and 60D up front, and the back was so planted that I couldn't get the car to turn in... I should have persevered and tried more toe out but seemed more hassle that it was worth, so went back to 60D all round.
I'm sure you could make the 60D/Spice Front/rear combination hook up well on the majority of tracks.

Just a quick question.
I'm just about to put a black can in my Mini...have noticed that it already has capacitors on the "+" & "-" poles, does it require (already have & can't see) another capacitor between the two poles.
I'm running a Novak GTX ESC and don't want to damage as stated in the manual if capacitor aren't used.
Cheers

If that so, no need to add anymore capacitors. The capacitors are already built-in.
BTW, your GTX ESC has 3 Amp BEC power, so you won't glitch due to motor problem.
