I never ran the silver can motors that came with most of the kits back in the day, they where just tossed in a box. The mini class where I am going to race requires a silver can.
If they have a composite end bell, they are not legal for the TCS races and they are not very good any way. If they have the metal end bell, as suggested, break them in and try them. Who knows you may have a couple of 4 slots and some of those are very good.
