Regarding the M03, i think it's the lightest among all the generations. Was running a 320g 7600mah lipo and it's at 1115g ready to run! Putting in an oil diff was challenging. I had to cut off the composite part to expose the 5mm outdrie shaft and install 5x11 bearings over them before sliding it into the diff case. Sample as below

The whole mini racing is mate hahahahaha! I just love to push the limits and curious to see what happens. THings are fine so far and yeah every mini race I attend i've been cycling the same lipo until the finals. I only overcharge the lipos during races
