Do you mean this black box? (red arrow)
If so, then your statement that the black box ones have less torque may not be true, because My MS Sport is a absolute torque monster.
This one is identical to my Bit Char-G PCB. Both had the Crip Cap, which I removed, and both were purchased in the last month. Both have no trouble at all moving a 3.2, or a 3.8 with torque to spare. I don't know if 3.0s have a problem with power, but I would think they would have at least as much torque as the faster motors. The main difference between the two, is that the MS has so much extra torque, it's difficult to drive, with out it flipping, or spinning out.
