I am not directly connected to the series but a regular on here going by the name Savior*insider is and he may be one of the judges.
Now I am not saying that the ones running the events may not know what some of these mods we do are but, during a race if your car outperforms everyone else then they will be watching you.

Anyone ever thought that for checks they could just run it on a dyno?

If they had a dyno that could measure torque and HP/watts, then yes...but a speed checker wouldn't be able to do it.

A speed checker is good way to test a car's power. I think a 4 celled XMOD goes no faster than 20km/h.
They should test the blue motor with 4 cells and metal bearings and test its top speed. No car should be any faster than that.

Well, it wouldn't be the best, but I guess that would work...though I doubt they'd use it because it's made by one of their competitors, Tamiya.

Is Tamiya the only company that makes speed checkers?
RS can make their own.

They could just do different race classes, only a loser would try to sneak his 6th cell into the stock class.
