This is my new build xxt, everything on it was bought new with the kit when it was released and never ran. As for the body I recently bought a tbg body and mci decals earlier this year and painted the body. For the electronics it's got a tekin tsc 411p esc, reedy tru stock 27t motor, airtronics 94102 servo, and airtronics xl2p radio.

Here is a car I build completely based on the color scheme of a body I already had. I think it turned out pretty cool.

Something different.... 2005 Yokomo MR-4TC SD LCG (Low Centre of Gravity), quite hard to find much info about them. Hobbywing esc/3300kv motor, Futaba Receiver & servo, 2s lipo, Protoform 67 Dodge Dart Body, HPI vintage 5 spokes, CoreRC Lime Green & Chrome paint.

My Kyosho Optima Mid, it has some hop ups like Kyosho Platinum shocks, universals front and rear, front ball diff, composite shock towers and roll bars front and rear.

It's a runner with a Novak GT7 speedo and a Kyosho LeMans 240S motor.

This one of my ebay rescues, just a mundane truck.

Basics:

- Hex conversion, using Factory Works and Traxxas parts.
- RPM Revolver wheels and Pro-Line tires.
- JConcepts F-150 body, painted a similar color to one that I used to drive.
- Cen Racing receiver with Tactic servo. Duratrax esc and mild Orion modified. Transmitter is an Airtronics MX-A.

Ok this is my current ride. Something a bit different.

This car started it’s life as a B6.1, but was later converted to a front wheel drive car using a ORB FWD conversion kit designed by Paul Dijkstra. It uses an alu chassis, 3d printed parts and some custom carbon parts for a pretty comprehensive redesign.

Poll is now up. Good Luck!

It's nice to see some new names on the list.

Got my vote in early.... seems to be a bit of a theme this month!

It was close between two for me, but the car from my youth just snuck it.

Voted aswell, had to be the team Moo truck for me. Since it's a team Moo car, and there always awesome .............and it has a 5.5

Not really into Truggys sorry , so it really narrowed the field for me .

5 out of 9 entries are trucks? That is just weird!

Good luck to all!
