The SRC 914s with the 'Upgrade' chassis have an inline M7 21k long can (see here). Like almost all long can motors (Slot.it, NSR, Avant Slot, Ninco, Team Slot etc), it does give more magnetic attraction than a short can - that's the nature of the beast. However, you'd need to get the motor low to the track rails and none of this makes any difference on wood track with copper tape. To compare a long can motor to a car with dedicated traction magnets is really wide of the mark...
The 'Upgrade' chassis set-up makes the SRC Porsche 914 a really enjoyable car to drive. It is a small car and never going to be the fastest out there, but the handling is superb and it is pretty nippy. I raced one at a 6 hour race on Ninco track and loved it (see report here). The extra weight of the long can is certainly a factor in that excellent handling - probably as important as the magnetic downforce.
