December '08 "Open Class" COTM Voting Thread:

[Skv012a]

Thats why there's at least a whole month to prepare, right? Again, don't get me wrong that its perfect compt. or no compt. Just when its a big compt. with prizes, I'd expect people to try a little bit harder. I also realize that its cars we're dealing with and making substantial changes can get hairy or look completely out of the blue, but at the same time the previous compt. I've seen pix of wasn't too shabby.

dude... just stop... quit arguing... stop basically trashing peoples work... they work based on their abilities and time schedules. I finally put some time and effort just to have a nice, decently painted car and i don't appreciate what you are saying. just shut up...

Quote me trashing people's work? I'm saying that everyone should just do 1 or 2 more steps beyond what they did already for the sake of competition and to better their skills. I know that majority of folks should have the time to work or at least be able to plan time to work on their entrees. I like the entrees overall, but I want to encourage people to enter their best works/attempts.

I go to school five days a week. Right after i get out i go straight to work till ten/eleven. i stay up doing homework till one/two. then i go to sleep, wake up at five, and do it all again. by the weekend i am bone tired and i just end up sleeping till ten. i get up, eat, do homework and usually by then its time to go to work again. same thing on sundays. the fact that i still found the time to even look at an xmod car is amazing. and im sure that every person on here who has created a car is proud of his or her work. and im sure that they all have stories to tell regarding their cars. so please, like the topic of abortion, leave this one ALONE...

That's trashing. People worked their ***** off, no matter what the entry was. Some people may not live up to your expectations, but they certainly surpassed mine this month.

Really, you're pointlessly ranting. Nothing you can say or do is going to change the outcome of this competition or the outcome of any competition here on Xmodsource. People are still going to create submissions in which they wanted to create, not what other people want them to create. You can't change the opinions of sixty six people (that's the current amount of people who have voted on this pole), let alone the hundreds of people on this website who do modifications to their Xmods day in and day out.

thank you donzii

Dont think I'm "Trashing", as what you said, but I dont think everybody really tried. You know if bondo was still here, and entered, he would have worked hard (in my opinion). I think SPR worked pretty hard. I would say I didnt work very hard, because I didnt car if I won or not, just to be entered is fine with me. I really didnt want the 3rd gen. xmod, because soon, I'll be getting outta xmods.

I understand where everybodies coming from, but remember how it used to be, custom parts everywhere, not just painted bodies. I voted on the car the I liked the most, and the car that was furthest from stock.

ill back you up to a certain point. there is maybe 1 or 2 cars on here that dont have much dedication put into them at all.

but for the other 95% on the competition. who the hell do you think you are saying people didnt try very hard. YOU DIDNT EVEN ENTER A CAR. so who didnt try very hard this month? you have no room to talk.

and im sorry but that line REAALLY ****es me the **** off. i want you to go PM

all who obviously have HOURS apon HOURS of time and hard work invested into sanding, sculpting, painting, custom fabbing, upgrading, or even making his very own lexan body from scratch. who all have possibly hundreds of dollars wraped up into their xmods and tell them that they didnt devote enough time to their xmod. please. stfuagtfo. seriously.

donzii im sorry for the rant. Ill gladly take infractions for it if you feel its necessary. but that kid ****ed me the **** off, i cant hold that one back.

[suicide_star]

i cant wait for SKV012a to enter next month's comp. i'm pretty impressed with the outcome considering the lack of parts available at RS and the fact that we thought they were discontinued til the new evo's came out. one thing to keep in mind is that people can't see your project up close, pictures are probably 50% of your success when you enter and SPR, besides having a nice project...had exceptional pictures. its not about who has the most modded car, it's about who has the most appealing car to a community of young R/C car enthusiasts.

Edit:
Let's keep the rants to a minimum from now on. Minimum meaning: if you don't have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself. Not singling anybody out, just chill.

[taiwanesekid05]

SPR mentioned me in a rant :3 I feel special...

lancer mans pictures were WAAAAY better than mine. butt thank you for the compliment i need a better "studio" for taking pictures lol

LMAO. well you cant tell me it diidnt take you for ever to do that paint job.

[Lancer_Man]

Haha....it's a lot easier to take pictures of a crawler than of a track car. Rocks are everywhere!

I voted for XXX. Love the idea of a Lexan body, and he had exceptional effort put into that car. Great work XXX!

The other entries are all great, also. I don't know how an argument got started....

Thanks for the votes everyone!

Well, someone said I had no effort put into my car ??? Anyway thanks. That Hummer is georgeous and was in my top 3. I love the color and the graveyard sillouhettes are cool as H - E - double hockey sticks.

+2

this is a very tough cotm. Who cares who wins as long as you are proud of your work and like your own car. if you don't like someone elses car, keep it to your self.

I still need to vote...can't decide... very tough.

Well thank for person who voted for me.

This wouldn't be a cotm or xmodsource.com if no one particpated in these sorts of things.

You think it ****es you off? To be honest, I bet I put a little more time into this competition than any of you did. I may not have entered a submission, but I'm the one that puts the whole shebang together.

I just ask that in the future you choose your words a little better, that's all, SPR.

Plus the two hours driving to a RadioShack to get the Corvette prize. Plus the time I'll be spending in Post Office lines to send the prizes to the winner. Plus the time it takes to think up the general rules, write them down, order and correct them, ask the rest of the Staff if they're ok, make any changes they brought up, reorder it, post it. Answer all and any questions the forum public has to ask. Plus, typically redo the whole thread over again because of a **** forum glitch, lmfao. And then take into account that I do that process at least twice (submission thread and voting thread) and plus whatever other random competition bullspit that shows up over the course of the month. Then, do it all over again to typically no avail; leading to bullspit rants and pointless discussion ruining the whole fun part of competitions.

you remind me of my girlfriend complaining so much............ JK!! i totally understand your frustrations.

[merc3des]

This is my input on these competitions:

They are excellently put together, and I appreciate Donzii for putting it together.

One thing I am dissapointed about is people not appreciating performance as much. I have put just as much time in to my car as other people, just in a different way. I soldered in new 3010 fets and tuned with tires for hours, taking as much time as a paint job.

All I'm saying is, performance is a lot less appreciated than good looks. I think I should clone my car 100 times and let 100 people try them
