Video does not count as a picture. You still need another picture.

Again, please remember that all pictures are due AT the time of the submission. Please do not say you will edit it in later; most of the time people will either forget or just simply not do it. Make it a correct post the first time to save yourself, and me, a load of time and trouble.

Cheers,
Kyle.

The multispoke model kit rims started of as a silver but ended up being resprayed black, the silver behind them is the XI model rim adapter plate which works like a dream!
There is a flush mounted exhaust can which despite being a little ricey I am rather fond of
For this project I experimented with a new triple thick clear coat, i.e. 1 coat = 3 coats of regular, it came out rather nice but taking photo's proved rather difficult.



Chassis:

Custom painted sleeper chassis, most stock parts painted black.
AWD
Aoshima Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires with model rims (XI adapter plates)
Mini-Z MR-01 ESC - cunningly hidden so at first glance it looks like an Evo ESC....
Mini-Z servo w/ metal gear
Team Redmade Drift Motor 42T Armature w/ Neo Mags in stage 1 can
Custom red lug nuts


^ That's my Team RedMade 42T pattern wound Drift Motor, it really rocks, with the right gear setting it has a decent top end speed but if I swap out the rims for the drift tires then this thing is sick!


^ The screws in the front clip are what keep the front of the shell firmly attached to the chassis, this is based on the model body mounting tutorial from Bondo


^ Now that's what I call a fart can!!

More photos can be seen here!

Thanks for looking and happy voting!!

Well this is my entry, I did this for the Rally Comp over on XMF.
Well Since recently I have been having big internet problems, Mum got rid of our unlimited broadband and also people using the internet a lot more cause of Christmas and everything so it slows it down.

Wider axle things that come with the raising and lowering kit to bring my front tires out more to meet the body.
Body Fits Perfectly on an Xmod Long Chassis.
Lexan Plate Things that tuck into the body (Similar to what SPR Did on his Rally)
Custom Roof Scoop hat gives air through a whole in the shell helping with the heat it gives of during my runs.
AWD

wow, i have no chance, but whatever, maybe i'll get a vote.



^jsyk, that's a Christmas tree.


^yes, it says BBS even though it doesn't have them, so i'd like to point out that most demo derby cars are bone stock with "sponsors"



^only one lipo shown because the other three are in the camera.

i'd also like to point out that the paint is intentionally bad. this was pulled out of a scrap yard in 2032. it's a demo derby car from the future.
