With any and all rigs being able to enter, ROTM on RCT has some seriously fierce competition!

SG Alpha Tiger and a vintage stock car. If anyone knows the model that'd be amazing lol
I'm not editing the ROTM pic, but I feel like I should've taken it with this background
Thanks for the vintage appreciation!

It's really funny you got one of those. Just a couple weeks ago I stumbled across somebody talking about one. It's a Mardave Clutch 1/8 scale Nitro Marauder Stock Car.

i finished 4th 3 months in a row earlier this year. so now i don't like finishing 4th.
I'm easily amused and take any victory i can get.

Isn’t that “fstnd”?

 

[luke66]

Yeah, he’s happy that he didn’t get 4Th. (At least I think so)

Ahhhhhh, there were definitely two ways to read that-and mine wasn’t as he intended. I totally get it. Yup-the curse has been lifted! Congrats @Suburban_Hooligan !!

Well, they just deleted my entry, no explanation. Good luck to the current contestants

 

[CertifiedMike]

@Heisenburg Was it oriented correctly? This has been a hot topic lately. Any other guidlines that it did not meet?
I didn't see it.
No one wants you to miss out on the contest so figure it out and repost!

I posted a few pictures, then hit "post reply" button. A screen came up saying something about needs a message to post , so I added a short description. I had 2nd entry, might have had a chance, but now, there are probably 6 or 7 in there now. Doesn't really encourage me to enter or really even post.
Thanks for asking , Mike

I have not posted here yet. My cars aren't really up to snuff when I look at some of these other beauties!

I hadn't considered placement on the page to be an advantage. I look at each of them and usually drool for at least a minute or 2!

I would still encourage you to try again but I understand your point.

I may never know. They just threw the post away.
When moderating my other forum, if I need to correct someone's post, I contact them. If it is offensive, I move it to the moderator's room to store it until I get the poster to correct the mistakes, then put it back exactly where it was in the forum, and it lands in the correct posting order.
I don't know. May never know. Appreciate your help, Mike

Your post was deleted because you can only enter one photo. You entered like 5 or so. You need to make sure to read the rules for entry before posting. Rule #1 applies to your entry.

I've never been a mod either... ever.
I have no idea how it works, storing or otherwise.
I sort of doubt your pic was offensive and was likely just formatted wrong.
I think its fair to think that if someone posted a pic worthy of this contest, that pic would be stored ( and treasured) by the poster.
Orientaion issues are easily fixed.
Our mods are quite nice and I'm sure could explain if you reached out.
I'd like to see your entry. It would be great to see this worked out.

Or like this.

Seems that was a simple oversight.

 

[Littlemotor]

Pretty easy to follow the rules when they are literally posted in the OP…The very first rule states ONE PHOTO per entry..

Chiming in to cry about being deleted after failing to follow the rules in a super passive aggressive manner isn’t a good look.. “I may never post again”…

Relax man, nobody is out to get you. You break the rules, your entry is deleted-as stated IN THE RULES.. You say you were a mod-you surely had rules to follow then.. I can tell you that the passive aggressive attitude won’t make you any friends here… Hope you check yourself, relax, and stick around.

Thanx Wicked. I admit I was in a hurry, I am at work and wanted to get my entry on quick, as I believe there is an advantage to being 1st in line. I didn't mean to break the rules or cheat.

This is the vehicle I entered https://www.rctalk.com/forum/threads/boats-by-heisenburg-red-m41-widebody-catamaran-kitty.126396/
I posted 5 pictures (too many), because I don't think 1 did it justice. The tailights (4) are tiny, but effective. The headlights fold down when not in use. Then I added sidemarkers after a test drive at night. It has an orange bulb near the exhaust so it lets out a plume of orange mist when moving.
Maybe its the wrong vehicle to enter for this reason. I think it was the Minnesota twins who said "There's always next year".,
