Re: Is modification to a COTS part allowed?
If your 3-d printed hubs do not require you to modify the COTS wheels, they're still COTS. As they are not actuators or control systems, you are pretty much at liberty to modify them as needed. However, if you drill or cut on them, that makes them fabricated items rather than COTS. The only difference between COTS and FABRICATED items is that fabricated parts must be made after the start of build season (a few exceptions, bumpers, and attachments), and are not exempt from bagging/withholding rules (an even smaller set of exceptions).
