August Open Class

Welcome to the August 2010 Open Class “Car of the Month” competition. Please remember to read all of the rules carefully and fully. Please remember that this is the entry thread only and no discussion is allowed—please make all posts regarding comments, questions and concerns to other members’ entries in the Discussion Thread.

Rules for Entering:

As always, you are limited to one entry per person per month. In an effort to simplify things this month everyone is eligible to enter.

1. Your entry must be:
-A fully functioning small scale RC vehicle (Xmod, Mini-Z, Micro-T, etc). It must steer and run.
-This is Open Class: the body may be whatever you like (truck, car, van, race-car, etc).
-Your entry must be owned by you at the time of the competition (both entry time and voting time).

2. You must enter by:
-Your entry must be posted in this entry thread by: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 9:00PM EST.
-Any entries made after August 31, 2010 at 9:00PM EST will NOT be allowed into the voting poll. Please be sure to plan accordingly.
-If you cannot make it due to time constraints do not rush and just wait for the next month’s competition.

3. Your entry post must contain:
-The make, model and year of your body. (Example: Ford Mustang 2006 or ’69 Chevy Corvette) and/or the Project Name.
-A list of ALL current upgrades and changes made to your body, chassis and electronics. Sometimes we cannot see by pictures alone all of the modifications you as an owner have made. A list helps show and tell us what has been done.

3a. Pictures:
-A minimum of four pictures is required and maximum of seven pictures is allowed.
-You may link to other pictures and video, but no more than seven pictures can be within [IMG] tags. All videos must be in link form (no [YOUTUBE] tags).
-You are required to have one of the four mandatory pictures be a picture of your chassis. All other pictures may be from whatever angle you wish and of whatever part of your entry you wish.

Rules for Voting:

1. Participation Rules:
-All members are allowed to vote.

2. What you should not do:
-Self-voting is frowned upon. Please be sportsman like. If you do not like any of the entrants but your own, simply do not vote.
-Creating a separate account just to vote for yourself. Unknown and suspicious handles will be IP checked.
-Any type or form of cheating is frowned upon. Please do not even try to cheat.
-Members who enter who cheat will be removed. Any self votes will be removed from the final tally.

3. Time Frame:
-Voting will be open for one week (seven days) from the start of the voting thread. Again, all entrants must be in by August 31st, 2010 at 9:00PM EST.
-Please allow the Staff some time to create the voting thread. If you don’t see it after forty-eight hours please remind us!

Rules are subject to change. Please review the both when entering and when voting. Voting rules will be duplicated into the voting thread.

Can entries/posts in Official Contest thread be edited as long as done before Entry Deadline?

I entered my car as is. Don't think I wanna do a whole lot more and I've been wanting to enter it for a few months now. Thanks for putting this together.

Uncle D's is really impressive imo.

have to agree with merc3des. that Car looks insane.
not going to the entering this COTM because i dont have time to finish. maybe next time
good luck to all entrants
michael

mine is in, not happy with the pics but its in

just entered mine, i dont plan on doing well against Dr. K...... but it never hurts to try

Can I change my entry since the deadline hasn't arrived yet? Or do I have to keep the one that I already have entered?

:( i didnt have enough time to edit the pix
photo bucket ran out of space, and i was looking for pix to delete, then my internet went :( oh well, ill enter next time with better pix if i dont win(its a high chance i wont lol)

Good luck everyone! Some stiff competition.:uhoh:

umm.........WHERE IS MY ENTRY??????????

so why did 4 of us not get entered?...what EXACTLY was wrong with those 4 entries?

you stress to read the rules...but did not state what each one had done wrong???

x3 on what was said above

but i noticed some stuff
the other 3 were missing chassis pix

i only had 3 pix, but at least tell us before the competition ends so we can fix it, we are human, we forget

^^^^ I think that's it!

Wait... why didnt i get entered? all of my pics meet the rules....... i even have a chassis shot.... I worked hard on the rat look for my truck. If there is a problem atleast pm me rather then just not entering me at all.

its an xmod chassis... what spec list could you want? Stock with orange paint... fan-freakin-tastic

None of you received a private message about this because I do not check until I make the actual voting thread. At that time it was already past the entry deadline (Aug. 31 @ 9:00PM EST) and nothing could be edited/changed. As well, it is not mine or any other staff members responsibility to make sure your entry post is 100% correct until it comes time to making the actual voting thread. That's when I do my double check, not during the whole month.

Here are the reasons:
Stampedekid is exempt because he doesn't have a chassis shot.
blue504life is exempt because he doesn't have a chassis shot.
mycrors4 is exempt because he only has three shots.
Mr. Hotrod is exempt because of the lack of a specifications sheet/list.
FloydfanYodaman is exempt because he doesn't have a chassis shot.

Cheers,
Kyle

an off topic-ish question:
why do we need at least 4 shots and a chassis shot?
we only use 1 shot for the voting thread anyways.........

why exactly dont you check? the guys over on XMF atleast make a effort to to make sure everything is legit to keep $hit like this from happening. i dont care that im not in it thats fine forgot that this site requires a chassis shot and XMF doesnt
