- A clubmember does rewind motors, but as he is a modified driver he may do that, it isn't that hard, for sure not taking one winding out.
- With the GM120 there was a blinky firmware around where you still could change settings.

Do not tell me about cheating..... with the 1st ETS set from Speed Passion people did a lot. Because the same concept was also adopted by my club a fellow nitro racer wanted to do some electric clubracing. His car was the slowest of them all while there was nothing wrong with the setup, gearing etc.

But a list of known (and I even have seen) tricks
- There was a GM rotor with more magnetism looking the same as the SP one and of course well used...
- People mounted the +20 degree sensor board instead of the 10 degree one. It had a different colour that could be easily coloured....
- there are even some topics here on this forum how to shift sensors to the far edges of the solder pads.
- The slot that limited the sensor timing on the SP motor could easily milled a bit further (my friend did to come closer)
- The used (by then) Speed Passion 35A ESC had also a 80A version so the FET board was changed.
- I myself took over an used Hobbywing 3.0 ESC but came in a box of the juststock with programmer, in the box a new high power FET component was lying around, someone was busy with changing FET's what is easy to do with the right solder tools
- a guy was caught with some soldering to the PCB, it seemed he placed a blinking LED
- In the Tamiya cup some people do soak their tires in WD40 long before they need to race, they will get a larger diameter going faster with the mandatory gearing.
- As mentioned, in the ETS due a difficult control on the FDR the inspection did rely too much on the known internal ratio and the numbers on the gears giving a lot of room to change brand pulleys and blanc out the numbers on the gears up to even laser engraving other numbers.

But hey, people do not dare to cheat.......
