So you can create a cheating motor if you want, but anybody you beat has the right to buy it off you so the advantage is temporary at best.
As for the box - What bugs me is that standard out of the box cars frequently don't fit in the box. WTF? I assume manufacturers make them to the maximum size the rules allow, and some variance occurs which means a few are over, but the result is a silly rule that requires club racers at big events to start filing axles like mad (Team drivers normally check this before the meeting!) when they weren't even trying to cheat in the first place!
Anyway just remember rules aren't meant to make racing be fair, just to give the illusion that its fair.

I like what you're saying there Si, particularly the last line. Illusion, certainly!
The brilliant thing about 10th off road now is that there's no such thing as a cheating motor - the cars are just too fast. We have the rules about traction control etc and sizes. Have at it and race.
