Decided to start the first BOTM with a curveball...a Tamiya M-06 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.
Basically stock except for ball-bearing upgrade.

JRX Pro - runner/racer build

What started out as a neglected JRX Pro is now ready for some light track action!

Build thread: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=47751

All custom built 1/10 monster truck.

Chassis hand built 3/16" steel tube, Freestyle Rc axles, Castle brushless system, detail parts all 3d printed

There was The Hornet, The Super Hornet, The Comical Hornet, The Hornet Jun Wanatabe, The Hornet Supreme...

Now the Hornet has more sting with the infusion of a mid motor position RC10B4 gearbox, independent rear suspension, and a 10.5T brushless motor with The Hyper Hornet!

Anytime Baby!

My Mid-motor B1, B4, B6 V2.

Lots of trial and error, but in the end a very satisfying build.
Off and on about 10 months to complete. At the time my lengthiest build by far.

Poll is up. Good luck guys!

just cast my vote.......

I'd love to vote for the Hyper Hornet and on another month I would , the JRX Pro is so low and sexy it should get my vote too but Steve71's Monster ... Well I'm always blown away by his work , the time , originality and just plain "damn that's cool" factor , sorry everybody else.

I was really torn between voting for a couple of the entries. The "one vote is all you get" left me conflicted once again even though I think I made a good choice.

I too voted for the incredible amount of work done by Steve. Daaaaahuuuummm dude. What an effort.

Hard to choice this month... Lot of very nice, and very different build !

Congrat to everyone

Appreciate all builds and especially steves workmanship. But at end of the day i vote for what i want on my shelf and this time in was frankentrucks badass Hornet.
