Our MiniCoop (M03s) Goes Brushless w/ Telemetry

It was time that we dared, it was time that we went …where many others had already gone before… We fitted our veteran M03s (circa 2001) with the Etronix Photon Brushless Kit ! (10T). Yes… our mini is now Brushless! Welcome to the 21st Century…

The move is simple if your car is already fitted with Deans T-Type connectors there is no welding to be done, this makes the Etronix Photon Brushless kit a great starting point for beginners or lazy people (and we fit into both categories)

The Receiver we fitted is the Spektrum SR 3300T with Telemetry, it allows you to read the Battery Voltage, The Motor Temperature and, if you can fit it on an M03, an RPM counter. (we opted out for the moment)

It’s perhaps not the prettiest setup due to the odd placement of the ESC on the rear.

The motor is shown with the Temperature Sensor taped in between two cooling fins. It is actually quite impressive how sensitive it is, you can make it change temperature just by holding it in your hands for a few seconds.

Enough DIY for a school night… LMCC updates coming soon!
