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

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?

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).

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.

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]
