February Open Class

We are kicking of the new year a little later than expect with an Open Class Car of the Month competition.
Please remember to read the rules carefully and fully.
Please remember this is the entry thread ONLY, no discussion.
Please make all posts regarding questions and other members' entries in the Discussion Thread.

Rules for Entering:

As always, you are limited to one entry only per person per month, however in an effort to simplify things and make this fun for all anyone can enter.

1. Your entry must be:
-A fully functioning small scale RC vehicle (XMOD, Mini-Z, etc), so 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.

2. You must enter by:
-Your entry must be posted in this entry thread by: Monday February 22nd, 2010 at 9:00PM EST.
-Any entries made after February 22nd, 2010 at 9:00PM EST will NOT be allowed into the 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 F150 2006 or ‘66 Chevy Impala) and/or the Project Name.
-A list of ALL 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 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 links.
-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:
-Entering members are still allowed to vote.

2. What You Should Not Do:
-Self voting is frowned upon. Please be sportsman like. If you don’t like any of the entrants but your own simply do not vote.
-Creating a separate account just to vote 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. All 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 February 22nd, 2010 at 9:00PM EST. Any late entries will NOT be allowed into the poll.
-Please allow the Staff some time to create the voting thread. If you don’t see it after forty-eight hours please remind us!

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

Good luck,
Xmodsource Moderating Staff.

WWII Sturmtiger Tank

Full model body conversion
Evo Chassy
Metal Bearings
Disk brakes
AWD kit
Custom rims
Pressurized flammable fluid tank and release valve

EDIT: Here is a link to a video of the flame thrower in action. Keep in mind it was windy, cold and snowing, so I had no desire to fine tune the system during use. It still shot a respectable 1-2 foot flame. The flame thrower is a custom design, and is liquid based, not propellant.
