Has RC car action or another publication done a thorough write up of the cup racer? Google doesn't turn up much

If you shortened the wheelbase to 210mm many of the M chassis original style Coopers should fit. If you want a new gen Cooper then Colt has a 210mm one. The Tamiya new BMW Cooper body will not work (239mm wheelbase).

Looking for a esc/motor combo that will provide realistic speed and lay down enough power for smooth drifting. I plan on adding all the hop ups on hpi's site. I'm getting the levin drift kit and have an extra set of wheels with the softer compounds. I'll be setting up makeshift tracks for drifting and time attack at a local park which has smooth asphalt in some areas and semi-smooth in others.
Anyway, after researching this thread it's lead me to the Novak Havok sensored esc brushless combo. (can't link yet but it's LXWLX0 at towerhobbies, that's the item # $149) It's designed for VTA so I'm guessing it fits the realistic speed criteria.
What lipo will fit the chasis without modification while still keeping the speed quick but realistic with good run times?
I have read this entire thread and searched and found some results but not exact answers or opinions.

M03/M05 - 210mm
M03M/M04M/M05M - 225mm
M03L/M04L/M05L - 239mm
The BMW Cooper bodies 2002 and 2006S fit the M03L. I have the 2002 version of the body and its 239mm wheelbase.
Even though Tamiya USA site doesn't say it's 239mm wheelbase for the 2006S body, it does say it's for an M03L.
See the link below from the English language Japanese Tamiya site. Yes the spec said 237mm. Its 239mm.
