TinyRC.com Motor Name Contest
 

To celebrate our newest bunch of motors, we're having another contest! There will be two parts: the first will be to name each of the new motors (1.6, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8); the second part will be to design logos for all of our motors (1.6, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, and R-Spec).

http://tinyrc.com/shop/products.php?pid=2

To enter the naming portion, reply to this thread with your suggestion for any or all motor names.

The logo design portion is currently only open for R-Spec designs (since we don't yet know the names of the others). To enter your R-Spec design, post your design as an attachment to this thread at a resolution of 320x320 (no smaller, no bigger). The design contest for other speeds will begin after the naming winners are chosen.

The prize for each winning name or design is one motor of your choice (any speed or brand that we stock). You may enter as many categories as you wish, as many times as you wish (within reason!). Deadline TBD.

How about for the 2.8 "Super Motor".

And for the 1.6 "Slow Motor".

Or for the 2.8 "Fast Motor".

I think a good name for the r-spec would be " Speed Demon "

I'll get working on a logo thing with speed demon and some cars zooming by or something like that in photoshop now.


Does it sound too detailed to be on a little motor?

Hmmmmm....i guess i could give it a try.

ok here they are:

1.6- Cruzin'

2.2- cant think of anything

2.4- cant think of anything

2.6- TopSpec or Top Prospect

2.8- PDF or Pretty Damn Fast

Ok so here's my idea's for the motor names:

1.6 = "Small Wonder"
2.2 = "Circuit Breaker"
2.4 = "Gladiator Rotor"
2.6 = "Warrior Rotor"
2.8 = "Screamer Rotor"

Just my random thoughts. :)

B

1.6= control king 2.2= cantthink of anything 2.4= the noflip 2.6 turbo twista 2.8 Tinys little can of NOS

Or maybe for 2.2- Lightside Rotor lol

1.6 - TableTop Rotor
2.2 - Track Racer Rotor
2.4 - Type X Rotor
2.6 - Speed Beast Rotor
2.8 - SuperMonster Rotor :eek:

heh, wow that was cheezy :rolleyes:

but i want a free motor... :(
plz plz plz tiny... :D

bah speed beast, my speed demon came first and compells you to fail!!

<chuckles>

oo oo meant...

2.8 - The Ripper :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: !!!!!!

aww, but u were talkin about the R-spec!!

**sobs as the free motor floats away**

Quick question before I post my entry...what color is the end cap on the 2.4 going to be?

Logo for R-Spec
 

Don't know what the cap color is but it's easy to change.. here it is.. pretty simple.. i think the torque + topend helps the noobs know what the motor is for..

http://www.importscene.com/rspec.jpg

Here's my attempt.

1.6 HOTEC (High Output Torque - Endurance Capability)
2.2 MSR (MicroSizer Replacement)
2.4 V SPEC (Variable power - High and low end power)
2.6 GP (Great Performer)
2.8 ummnn

1.6 ENDURO
2.2 OEM
2.4 POWERBAND
2.6 PERFORMER
2.8 TOPEND


Or you can just name em all spec names..

depending on the motor, you can use a letter for it's application

E-SPEC
M-SPEC
V-SPEC
G-SPEC.. i dunno bout this one.. hehehe

b6way b2spd :bth: bc12m b22awgs :bsh: b45m b38

Maybe the 2.4 could be m-tec you know instead of v-tec its micro-tec. lol i know, its cheezy.

Ok nevermind about the color of the cap. Anyways, get ready for your daily intake of calcium (from all the cheese in this post :D ). Here’s my names for entry:

1.6 – Sprint Si Rotor (you know like Civic Si)
2.2 – Punch RS Rotor
2.4 – Flash Bang Rotor
2.6 – Rocket SS Rotor
2.8 – Wraith Rotor (And no I wasn’t thinking lord of the rings…I was thinking something dark and mysterious you don’t see for long :) )

Note: Rotor isn’t necessarily part of the name it just sounded cooler than “XXXX engine” or “motor”. :)

Yellow. :)

Ok, here's my entry. Yes, it's crappy, but if it needs refining that can be done.

cap color
 

COOL.. see my design was made to be!! I made it yellow too!! hehehehe nice coincidence.. i picked yellow since that's the only color i didn't see.. =D

How about:



1.6 - Whirl Wind
i.e. "a small whirling duststorm"

2.2 - Tornado
i.e. "a violent destructive whirling wind accompanied by a funnel-shaped cloud that moves over a narrow path"

2.4 - Cyclone
i.e. "a storm or system of winds that rotates about a center of low atmospheric pressure and advances at 20 to 30mph"

2.6 - Typhoon
i.e. "a tropical cyclone in the region of the Philippines or the China sea"


2.8 Hurricane
i.e. "a tropical cyclone that has winds of 74mph or greater, and is usually accompanied by rain, thunder and lightening."

My entry
 

sessiz10: very nice logo. props.


it's a simple logo. just like the other's. but the end cap color i don't know but it can easliy be changed. the circle in the background was too plain so i changed it a little. also i couldn't decide weather to take out the purple where the black circles are i.e. 8 and r. so i tried to copy the others and took it out.

Great job on the logos! Ok i have a couple new entries....

1.6- Cruzin' or LRS Motor ( Low-end Rotary(sp?) Speed)

2.2- M-TEC ( micro-tec)

2.4- ESA Rotor ( Equal Speed and Acceleration)

2.6- T-SPEC (Top Prospect or TopSpec)

2.8- HRS Motor ( High-end Rotary (sp?) Speed)

Well i tried a logo but it really really sucks. This is my first time at it. I didnt really do anything just basically made the motor put up a couple words you will see:

Here is another logo for rspec... i think keeping it on the same line as the R SPEC would do better in terms of brand recognition.. I made a second one for the 1.6 motor.. E-Spec (endurance) and we can do the rest.. the 2.2 is yellow too?? what is the 2.4?

http://www.importscene.com/rspec2.jpg

http://www.importscene.com/espec.jpg

powerhungery: yeah the 2.2 is yellow and according to Tiny the 2.4 is going to be yellow as well.

Just a thought...
 

1.6:ECOTEC
2.2:VTEC
2.4:SBC
2.6:BBC
2.8:HEMI!

OK...it's kind of lame...I'm working on better ones though...

OK...here goes:
 

1.6: Kitten Motor
2.2: Bobcat Motor
2.4: Panther Motor
2.6: Tiger Motor
2.8: Cheetah Motor

The cool thing is that as more motors are added, they could be brought in with similar designations...e.g. Puma motor, Leopard Motor, Lion Motor, etc.

Just my 2/100ths of a dollar!

Chris

Ok, I'm re-entering mine...cuz my last one was crap. BTW-I can easily change Type R to R Spec.

1.6 = slow-n-steady
2.2 = the "stock" exchange
2.4 = the .8 x3 (lol)
2.6 =the M-N-M (matrix in motion)
2.8 Montague motor

Oh, and my motor names. Note - All of em end with rotor, because like Mage said, it just sounds better. Lol, you can change that anyway!

1.6 - Ox Rotor
2.2 - Python Rotor
2.4 - Trinity Rotor
2.6 - Eagle Rotor
2.8 - Thunder Rotor

:D

Sorry if I'm not getting into the spirit of this, but why not just call them what they are?

Two letter hyphonated add-on? Like, MX-3.0 for example.

OK i have alot of ideas:


1st entry: (Dunno bout these)

1.6- Cruzin Rotor

2.2- didnt have anything

2.4- Lightside Rotor ( I know, i know, very cheezy, kinda a joke)

2.6- TopSpec (Top Prospect)

2.8- PDF Rotor (Pretty Damn Fast)



2nd Entry- ( I think these are a little better)

1.6- LRS Motor (Low-end Rotary Speed)

2.2- M-TeC ( Micro-Technology)

2.4- ESA Rotor (Equal Speed and Acceleration)

2.6- T-SpeC ( Top Prospect)

2.8- HRS Motor (High-end Rotary Speed)

Here's my attempt at the logo.

1.6 - 110ci Ecco
2.2 - 135ci Luxo
2.4 - 150ci Sport
2.6 - 160ci Rally
2.8 - 171ci GS (Grand Sport)
3.0 - 190ci GT (Gran Touring)
3.8 - 232ci R-spec

----------------------

now if anyone feels ripped off.. LMK that wasnt my intention. i couldnt think of anything for 2.2 or 2.4 (doh!) heres some more ideas. and the CI conversion was basing the motor RPM as liter. :)

OK here is mine I worked pretty hard on it
