I would imagine you could probably chuck up the entire motor in a lathe, power it from a battery or power supply or whatever, and take VERY light cuts, and probably be fine. I wouldn't really recommend this though. Suppose you cook a motor during competition? Are you going to have modified spares on-hand. Perhaps you may want to design your drive system to use the motor as-is.
