Crap...I should visit here more often....I have a bunch of rigs I could've submitted....haha

Hmmm,

I was leaning towards voting for Vintagemishal's entry myself... It had a fantastic paint job, originality, good photos..and wasn't exactly another carbon copy box art RC10.

But I guess it didn't make the cut (?).

Wasn't there supposed to be 8 finalists? I only counted 6.

Maybe you guys should have been a little more specific on the panel's taste in R/C vehicles...

No issues here worth losing sleep over , but it kinda resembled a "Concours" competition between several friends with box stock RC10's....

I'm sensing a bit of sarcasm. My thoughts are before slaming theytookmythumb for not including Vintagemishal's entry, double check the other posts http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=16871&p=164537#p164537 an you will see he was included. What the issue is that the software only allows 6 entries to vote for. If anything theytookmythumb should have limited the competition to the first six entries

you know, it wouldn't be that hard to take the top car from the first poll, the top car from the second poll, and then have a separate poll for those 2 to declare the winner.

Thanks for the vote Diggley, I appreciate it. Concourse competitions just aren't what they used to be. Back when people were really in to it, you had to have not only a great paint job, but the car had to be detailed in every way and usually included an interior. I think people just don't really care anymore? I think this shows due to the absolute lack of participation here. I actually was very excited to enter this competition, but what a let down. I do not blame Theytookmythumb at all, it was a good idea. I think that there were some great paint jobs that entered, but know that there are a whole lot more out there. Thank you to Theytookmythumb for trying to make a fun competition for all.

My bad,

I posted before seeing part 2.

I thought I had removed my comments...

I agree, it was a good idea.

With all the members on this site, you'd think the response would have been overwhelming.
My rant was a bit mis-guided.
I didn't see the "part 2" of the posting until I had vented. I thought I had removed my comments but..

Theytookmythumb; I appoligise for the unnecessary sarcasm.

I thought your entry was a cool twist to the typical drop-a -Sand Scorcher- body on an RC10. The paint job looked great!

What happen to Vintagemishal sand bug...I was leaning towards voting for Vintagemishal's wasn't he included in the finalist

Check Part 2 and there it is. Thanks for the vote.

First off, please don’t anyone ever worry about my “feelings”. If you can offend me or hurt my feelings then my hat’s off to you because it’s a pretty difficult task! Second of all, I have a terrible tendency to post before I have all the facts so no worries there. Lastly, the success(or lack thereof)has a lot to do with popularity. If a mod for instance did this same contest then it would get hundreds of responses and be an overwhelming success. Again, I don’t let this bother me in the least. I don’t care to be popular or even necessarily well received when it comes to the internet. I’m just here because, like everyone else, I love r/c and especially vintage r/c and enjoy hanging out with like-minded people. I like scr8p’s suggestion though. I can take the highest voted rides and create a single and final elimination poll. To be honest, this whole contest is based on my curiosity to use the poll question feature…

i'm glad to know this because, frankly I was a bit embarrassed to have my lame attempt at paint included in the poll while other, obviously superior paint jobs were not.

Don’t feel bad…
A.Your car looks great!
B. I started this thread just so I’d have an excuse not to enter…
