Well, not really....

Maybe they'll send you a participation trophy like they send me every time I enter!

Thanks mate, but I reckon I probably have enough of these....

Well I am not a truck guy and so eventually this vote came down to a choice of two for me.... I have recently got hold of a red anno RC10 chassis so that build immediately grabbed my attention - they do look great and a little different in red.... but the FatCat also appealed, mainly because a very ugly bodyshell was made to look fantastic and I read through the whole of Dan's old thread late last night. There is a lot of detail on that paint job (and wing) which isn't really shown in the voting picture, and the rims set the whole thing off a treat and just snuck it to get my vote. Lovely.

It's always awesome to see a Pinto dragster doing well, both in real life and in RC form. If only there was a Gremlin dragster to directly compete against it. It would be "Attack of the sleeper drag cars!"

It would be cool to occasionally have a theme for the BOTM. Drifter month, replica tribute month, drag cars, monster truck, 4wd buggy, concours de lemons, Kyosho motored cars, Frankenstein creation month , 3D printed plastic fantastic month, gold pans vs. JRX2, etc.

Thanks Martin, having just one person admire one of your builds gives me a massive buzz - & it means a lot coming from you - I massively admire all of your builds

Its true that the Fat Cat shell is pretty damn ugly - no wonder Parma employed someone to paint one in an elaborate paint scheme for the advert!! Also true is that the shell, wing & wheels only serve to dress-up what is my runner/racer car which I've enjoyed many race meetings with, bringing with it some success both at vintage specific meetings & against modern buggies - most notable being a 4th place in the A at local club meeting which is very competitive.

Blimey - it's getting awfully tight at the top!!!!

Looks like Basher67 has taken the win. Congrats!

Well done that man, you got my vote.

Thanks guys!
