The new COTM idea is great...... My suggestion is:

No theme .. you will attract more entries due to obvious reasons.
Ditch the price limit .. you will attract more entries for obvious reasons.

Most people on here have a special ability and mod differently. for example my main thing is CF. The Carbon fiber alone would be my build $ limit. I wouldn't be able to do what I like to do for comps. There are many others that would fall under this same category and you would lose some great builds.

Think about it.

eitherway great idea with the classes.
the price limit is staying. this is a seperate comp than the cotm. the cotm is still going to go on like it is with no price limits. this is a seperate buildoff. and i see no problem with your cf chassis paired with a nice model conversion, and still be under the 80 build price. since the advanced class is the only thing that you can have a cf chassis any way.

heres the last 5 builds from t he comp i have on xmf

dec http://www.xmodsforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6683
and the current comp
http://www.xmodsforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7439

as you can see these are far from tin foil cars.
and there its 20 novice, 40 intermediate and expert. so i took the comp here 1 step farther and allow 80 in the top class for a limit.
not trying to sound harsh in any way, but if you cant come up with a decent build for 20, 40, 80 then stick with cotm comps. you have very nice builds xxx, and i dont see any reason you cant come up with something awesome for 80 bucks.
