RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Ok, the time has come. Time to choose the "RC10Talk Build of the Year". More like "Build of the Last 15 Months", but I digress....

I would like to thank everyone that has played along, submitting entries as well as all that took the time to vote. Looking forward to getting things going for next year and hope you are too. But first, we gotta finish this one. So here are the Top 10 finalists. Click on the link by the name to see more pics of these builds from their winning month:

No kidding. How about Win, Place, and Show?

Now this is going to be a tough one!

Very good list for sure...

Hey scr8p, as one of the finalists im not sure I should ask this but, would it make sense to include the body off shots for this grand finally? I think it would show the quality of the complete build and keep this from turning into a best paint job of the year contest.

I only have the pics saved that I used to put on the main page. That's why I added the link to the month each person won so people could see multiple larger pics. I did the semi-finals the same way for that reason.

I guess I could've went back and saved and posted them all, but I've been busy at my paying job. j/k

So your saying we're second rate ?

Yeah, I was using the links. Just thought it would be easier if they were shown on this page. Im lazy and like things easy! I suppose its too late anyway with all the votes already. I hope people go back and look at the builds. Take your car and reggies for example. They look very similar in those 2 pics. Im afraid people will pick one over the other because of the color and not the complete build.

Back to fastang's question. I would be willing to redo the pics for the top 10, but in my opinion, the poll would need to be restarted.... and I don't know if that should be done. It's not like there has only been a handful of votes cast.

Yeah I agree. It would be hard to do now with all the voting already.

In my opinion they are all equally winners no matter what the voting shows. Well done to everyone!

I wish all the cars were pointed the same direction

I'm joking. This was the hardest pick so far as there were two I wanted to vote for. In the end I chose the one I would like to see in my collection.

All excellent builds for sure, top notch! For me though, knowing what I know about designing my own pars and the iterations/time/expense/patience it takes to get it right, my choice was obvious.

Btw, the link for Reggie's is messed up.
