Re: Is it legal to adjust CIM's timming?

Thats a technique that the RC car racers use.

I also thought about taking some turns out, but I'm pretty sure thats illegal also.

Re: Is it legal to adjust CIM's timming?

Thanks Eric for being on top of this. The good news is that CIM motors don't have that much of a bias. The bad news is that they do vary from unit to unit so it is best to check your motors and try to match them. You can also use software and sensors to keep them running together.
All of that said, there is no substitute for practice.
