I just unboxed a 3x3 -- my first modern 3x3. Looks like the X-Man Tornado V3 is a capped design and cannot be changed either. Another exception.
I just remembered another unintended benifit... My cubes where popular to play with at competitions because speedcubers where curious how much a messed up scheme would impact their times. In almost every case, it was severeI'm in a very similar situation. I just left a cube at a station last weekend and they immediately brought it to me because of the color scheme - they knew it had to be mine.
Mine is the Japanese color scheme but with red and orange swapped. For me also it was because the cube I learned CFOP on (which was actually a keychain cube - probably part of why my fingertricks are so bad
I don't know of anyone else who uses my color scheme, although Kit Clement uses my color scheme with black in place of white, I believe.
. Now I'm trying to adapt to standard scheme and facing similar hurdles... looking for edge pieces that don't exist, putting C/E pairs into the wrong slot, etc..
When I started cubing, I ended up stickering and using a cube with red and orange swapped for a while because I used a 1x1 as the reference for how to sticker a cube lol.

Its possible to remove the caps on Tornado v3.I just unboxed a 3x3 -- my first modern 3x3. Looks like the X-Man Tornado V3 is a capped design and cannot be changed either. Another exception.
Although to be fair, I was initailly asking about 5x5s. I really wanted to replace my entire NxNxN speedcube collection basically.
So can the corners and edges of an "X-Man Tornado V3" be split apart to change scheme? I think the capped design won't really allow it, I mean short of taking a thin razor blade to it and some super glue -- the result likely being not so great. I just figured out how to pop the caps off and how to remove the pieces from the core. These modern cube designs are fantastic. This model seems to be impossible to pop under normal conditions.
How are you going to sticker a stickerless cube?
I don't own the tornado v3 but you should be able to remove the colored caps from the pieces and rearrange them. I usually use a plastic razor for removing stickers.
OMG GUYS
OH, I just realized what you are saying. I thought you meant "center caps". You mean ALL the caps!
Yes exactly.
