I can even remember a conversation with a club mate about how to open a sealed 27t can and upgrade without getting found out.
Rewinding, better magnets, tweaked timing, them how to reseal the motor so it looked box fresh.
Not to mention the guys who would buy a box full, find the best one or two then sell the rest on. This still happens in Scalextric, but isn't really a big deal, as the motors are only a fiver a pop.
Blinky or sealed can isn't really the best option, it's an option, but there are better ways of doing it.
