Physics don't work that way. If all you're doing is shifting the powerband while working with the same motor output, there won't even be 1/100 of a second difference.
If someone did get a tenth out of changing the screws, I'd be suspicious that the driver changed out the stator instead.

Yup! Let's regulate right down to the type of wheel nut holding the motor. In fact, let's regulate it down to only one person building the chassis, only one chassis allowed (Xpress AT1S, no aftermarket anything, one suspension setup) one person painting only one body, and only one person making the motors and batteries. That'll keep everything in spec and prevent cheating.
