The M03 is the shortest with a 210mm wheelbase, m03M has a 225mm wheelbase and the m03L has a 239mm wheelbase. The chassis's are all the same except the "M" and "L" have spacers in between the front and rear chassis halves. Also the regular rover mini cooper has the chassis molded in silver rather than black like the others.
I own a regular Rover mini coopers.

Status: offline 		Any of these cars are great there only a few things you need to buy for this class of racing the first is bearings the second is a steel 20t av pitch pinon gear the original one will not last for long and the last thing you need is some long lasting tyres I use the HPI m pattern race tyre the Tamiya m chassis cars burn up the original tyres very quickly.
Good luck with your racing.

Must be harder on your cars than me. I'm still using the stock pinion (from when I got the car in 2002) and it's showing no sign of wearing out.
