Okay guys, here it is. Post your cars HERE please in three views: Top view 3/4 with body on, bottom of the frame body on and top of the frame body off. You can point to the left or the right, it doesn't matter. But PRESENTATION is everything so get the pictures sharp and clear and use plenty of light! Add a name and please include a few specifications such as wheels and tires, motor type with arm wind. You can even provide some sponsors if you like.
:)

Please keep all comments on the Rules thread. If you have a question, simply hit the "Quote" button and copy and paste the image to the comments thread or refer to the car name/number or thread post number.

Edit: Adding a poll for Concours to this starting post...

For the rulezzzzz peeps: The Mitt Romney Stars and Stripes Special (or...the MRSSS) :

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

Posted Image

MRSSS:
Chassis: regular floppy (front axles have been made immovable by soldering on braces)
Clearance - front................pretty good
Clearance - rear.................lots!
Tires - front.........................beats me
Tires - rear..........................(see fronts)
Body...................................some sort of Choti with a hot dang Jairus paint job
Guide..................................Jet Flag (set for an itsy bitsy amount of braid recess, but with extra washers so it can be adjusted for a deeper recess)
Motor...................................Mura "Green" can
Arm.....................................Team Czech 27 sgl
Magnets..............................Some sort of old ones that fit the arm and setup pretty well
Gear....................................Cox (lord help me) 7:29. This may have to change as the tip of my old lucky Ferret allen wrench broke off in the set screw! Then again, I might just leave it as is.

If this thing(ie) is legal (gosh I hope so!). What's the polarity standard again? Is it so that as you're looking from the back towards the front, the (+) is on the left?

Jairus had me add a poll for California Choti Concours voting to the starting post in this thread. And this little post will work to bump the thread back up in the View New Content search results.

Now scroll back up to the top of this thread and vote!
