Howdy,

Please hold all discussion about the September 2009 "Open Class" COTM here within this discussion thread. All discussion made within the Entry Thread will be deleted as soon as it is found by a Staff member.

Cheers,

Does something have to be "custom" to enter?
Like, are just Radioshack upgrades allowed?
If so, I'll enter just for kicks, I don't plan on winning with this though...

Also, I would assume no prizes this month?

@xmods1993 - You need a chassis shot

[Donziikid]

Yupp. Anything is allowed as long as it follows the rule that it is an Xmod (Gen1, Evo Touring, Evo Truck or Street) and not a MiniZ, MicroT or any other small scale RC. Have fun.

so like is the voting thread going to be open for everyone to vote? if so i'll get to work on the nsx i bout from monsterhunter awhile ago, lol it needs alot of work.

[Donziikid]

Yes, this month will be just regular voting where anyone eligible (see Voting Rules in the Entry Thread) may vote. July was a special voting process due to the prize. Seeing as how it worked so well you may see it again in the future. Of course we will notify you if and when that takes place.

Cheers,
Kyle.

For curiousity's sake, what exactly do you classify an xmod?

For example, if my basic platform uses xmod gen1 parts but i throw in some custom modified parts from other micro catagories...?

[Donziikid]

Since we base all of our COTMs around Xmods we like to see as much Xmod based RCs as possible. A MiniZ with an Xmod motor obviously doesn't make the cut, but if you have done something along the lines of what RedSXmodder did with his RCP Ripper project that would be acceptable.

Naturally it is rather difficult to judge "what is" and "what is not," but if a majority (50%+) of your entry is Xmod based with Xmod parts it will be eligible.

Cheers,
Kyle.

I already have a feeling who's going to win...

[xmods1993]

Okay, I will get one within the next couple of days cause my camera is out of batteries but I will make sure to get one

[AJB32690]

Hmm, I've been working on quite a few projects that nobody here has seen... Mostly because I don't have a camera... The question is... Which one gets entered?

I think "Project Executive" will be entered this month...

[TripleXmodder(akaXXX)]

Ahhh, Im ready to go. I got a new project to start. Im glad I got back in time for an open class COTM, there should be lots of entries and they are usually pretty awsome. Good luck to everyone who enters.

[mycrors4]

i have a question, when u say it needs to be a working xmod, does that mean wroking with
no problems or can it have problems, but still works

[Donziikid]

"Fully Functional" I believe is the term used in the rules.

if you just kept your mouth shut about it.......no one would be the wiser.
why nitpick rules that are open for "interpretation"?
how is anyone going to know if your servo is messed up from pictures?
