Yes, because he gave permission to increase the timing range on the Trackstar 21.5 motor so that it will have the same range as other brands, and this now seems to be interpreted by some as "I can modify any motor in any way that I want".

Keep in mind that if any ROAR-approved spec motor is modified like this, then it won't be legal for use in ROAR-sanctioned races. But I haven't seen too many 21.5 classes at ROAR events.
