[TheB1GDude]

You got it! Just needs to be a small scale RC, i.e. radline, xmod, mini, micro....

Hmm what is ''open class'' is it like where u show off ur car,or is it some kind of racing event??

No its open as in it doesnt have to be an XMOD!

[nitemeer]

o i see.. not only xmod this time :D lol

[TheB1GDude]

o i see.. not only xmod this time :D lol

Bingo!

[imnotmikal]

Does it have to be on a fully functioning chassis?
Or can it be mainly show, on a roller chassis?

[TheB1GDude]

It needs to be a working and driveable RC.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

does the chassis have to recognized as one purchased from a store, or is a sheet metal chassis allowed?

[taiwanesekid05]

It's allowed (at least should be) As long as it's a fully functional remote controlled car, it's allowed to enter. So a crappy RC car you got at the dollar store could count.

[spitfire]

is their a prize going to the winner?

[Donziikid]

Haflway through the month and only two entrants? Come on, guys, it's open class. ;)

[nitemeer]

lol i've been killing my rc cars lately xD things are breaking apart, does the car require a body though? i don't have bodies for it :P can i just enter my chassis? :P lol

[kart59gtr2driver]

[mytitan]

[imnotmikal]

where is this held???

ill be entering my car soon, (hopefuly in the next week).

[Stampedekid]

Are 1:18 counted as small? Also does it have to be a land vehicle?

[mytitan]

i would think, its deffently conciderd small in the 1/10 scale world

[65mustangrock]

i am 99% sure that i will be entering. however it will take some time to upload pics. my internet an't so comcastic

[Donziikid]

1:28th scale and smaller only.
It's called "Car of the Month" for a reason. Car is a just generic term for land based vehicle which can include Trucks, SUVs, Vans, "Cars", etc.. Please keep it land based vehicles for now. ;)

[xmodsnut]

hey donzii go resize those photos because the photobucket transfer is blowing them up again to supersize.
OH also I read the rules donzii and had 6 photos up but you should of pmed me first instead of making me look like an idiot because when I had 6 photos the last four, while transfering them here, blew them up to the size they are.:evil: so if I here one peep from you about it again I will go off like I did on bondo a few months back.

theya re the correct size when im am looking at them now. clear your cookies and temporary internet files and they will pop back up the size you resized them too. your computer is seeing the image name it has pulled up before and showing the same picture. once you clear you files it will show up correct on your computer. i've had this happen before and was getting ticked at photobucket until i relised that this was causing it.

I did not PM you about the mistakes and made it public so that everyone could see what mistakes were made and how you could go about fixing the mistakes. It has been said time and time again to all members in the competition section to get their entry posts correct the first time they make them. That way they don't waste my time having to go through and count the pictures, spot the mistakes, edit the posts and tell them how to fix it or how long you have to fix it and they won't have to waste more of their own time going in and fixing their mistakes and removing my edits.

Your "asshole" crack has gotten you five (5) infraction points resulting in a five day banning.

Cheers,
Kyle.

[mytitan]

can i enter a a lightly moded mini z? i was wondering because its close to stock

[spitfire]

so... is their going to be a prize? for the winner?

just trying to mix the pot of questions.

[mytitan]

can i?

[Donziikid]

Your answer is in the rules for the competition, mytitan. ;)

There is no prize for this months competition, currently.

[nitemeer]

oo no prize ehh o wel :P deadline is tomorrow right? doesn't seem like a lot of people entering.

[blue504life]

no prize?!?!?!?!?!?!?! i dont think im entering then, not really :)

i think the deadline is the 26th

[Sweed]

So can I enter something I haven't touched (or own, since Big has it), and then have big enter the same car?

[65mustangrock]

there is a prize. the satisfaction that you won a comp.
then again that is kinda ***... lol

[WhiteMKIV]

holy crap mytitan, ur miniz is like identical to mine but i got a red frame now and carbon fiber spring plastic thing hahaha

[firebird999]

could a slot car count as rc? it's 1/32 scale and i'm doing some pretty cool stuff to it, so...

[Donziikid]

A slot car isn't driven/controlled by a radio. So, obviously, no.

[65mustangrock]

is there a certian time that the voting poll will be made or is it just when the creator gets some free time?

[Donziikid]

I will be creating the voting thread shortly after the closing of the entry thread, obviously. Works just like every other month.

[spitfire]

ive never been in a comp, but is the voting going to be just a one day thing or more than one day?

[nitemeer]

more than one day, more like a week or more.

[snowboi1289]

I dont mean to say this in a bad way, so dont get mad or anything, but how do you know what kinda slot car it is ? I had a slot car that is controled by radio, it is controlable. I just mean to make a point.


If somebody doesnt hurry up and come out with a really nice RC (that I like) then my vote deffently goes to spitfire. That rally car is really well built, he/you should make a video of it driving offroad (if it can).

[mytitan]

is my entrie set up rite?, besides the fact that it almost stock lol, i figgured i might have a chance because its a z, but theres some awsome entries.

[Donziikid]

Slot cars are controlled by cable and fluctuations in voltage traveling to the car by copper braids on the bottom of the chassis, not by radio transmition. I have not once in my lifetime seen a slot car controlled by an AM, FM or 2.4GHz radio. I'd like to see this supposed "radio controlled" slot car.

I'm not mad, I'm just telling you how I see things. However, it's basic common knowledge to know what an RC car is and what should be allowed into an Xmods RC Forums COTM. Slot cars do not fall under the category of radio controlled vehicles.


[edit]
Your entry posts looks 100%, mytitan.

thanks man, but i have no way of making videos. but yes it can drive off road.

[snowboi1289]

Ohh, that sucks, i would love to see a video of that car in action though.
I gotta hurry up and think which one of my xmods I should enter, not to say I'll win, but just to enter.

[spitfire]

thats cool man, you should put in your newly built mustang.

[snowboi1289]

?? I didnt build a new Mustang, what are you talking about. Do you live near me or stalk me or something ?? lol.

[spitfire]

lol, i meant one of your ford lightnings

[WhiteMKIV]

so what do u guys think of my supra

[Donziikid]

Voting'll be up shortly.

[spitfire]

Voting'll be up shortly.

sweet!, i cant wait. will the people that entered be able to vote?

[Donziikid]

Voting is up. Yes, everyone but Xmodsnut is elidgeable to vote.

[snowboi1289]

lol, i meant one of your ford lightnings

I dont have a ford lightning.... Are you sure your thinking of me I think you thinking of somebody else (not to put it a wrong way, if you know what I mean). I do have a Mustang, but I barely show it at all.

[spitfire]

well dont worry about it now voting started

[blue504life]

what is going on here the entery thread says all enterys must be in by the 26th before 8PM, why has the voting begun?

[Donziikid]

Decided to start it a day early.

[blue504life]

Decided to start it a day early.

well thats just ***, thanks for ending it before i could get the MRS in

[Donziikid]

I don't understand how something simple like this can be considered homosexual. Please do not throw around the word "***" so loosely next time.

If you would have liked to enter your MRS you should have done it earlier instead of procrastinating. It us up to any moderators discresion to change the rules of the competition to how he sees best fit the forum. Since there was no one else that seemed interested in entering I closed the entry thread and posted the voting thread to get the ball moving onto next month.

I'm sure you'll find an upcoming COTM suitable for your MRS project to be entered.

Cheers,
Kyle.
