<R15><R16>According to rule R15, motor caps do not count as electrical components, therefore allowing them to be modified and be in accordance with rule R16 which states that modifications to non-electrical components are permitted. However, R15, section e, states that V5 Smart Motor Cap is not considered part of the motor.
