How about a worst TinyRC contest?
If you're like me, you can cruise these forums and look at customized bits and miniz's, etc all day long. The good, the bad, and the ZipZaps 
Why not show off some of you're early attempts, failed paint jobs, destroyed cars, just anything really thats not all that pretty.
We can call it Bit Par-t fouls!! (at least the bits, but I wanna see every kind of small-scale RC here folks)
How about it guys??

sounds like an interesting contest to me, I think some of the entries would be good for a chuckle (*not to be mean or anything, just in good fun ). What should the prize be? something related to the contest theme maybe. Tiny what do you think?

YES! Great idea. All these pristine bits are nice, but I'd like to see some Beaterz as well.

LOL, that's not fair though, the ZipZaps have a big head start! Cool idea guys, post away. We'll come up with some kind of smashed-up prize to give.

Prize is no biggie as far as I'm concerned. If we could just get a nicely organized list of ONLY the entries. These threads get too cluttered to sort through. (hint hint  )
I'd also like to see "Action Shots" become a regular thing...for those of us who do more than pose.

We can have people post them to this thread, then we will create an Album in the Gallery for them like we did with the other contest.

Sweet... should some one make this thread sticky? To get more exposure. I'm figuring admin or moderator is needed, correct me if I'm wrong.

hmmm
does this only include what the body looks like on the bit? or can it have to do with chassis as well. I mean like if someone took the time to make their bit look all rusted out, wrecked, and beat down, like a real car of 20 years of abuse. wheels that were glued to the axles off center so the car bobs and bounces when driving. just something to take into consideration. I just think it would be neat to take an old beat up bit and make it look and drive even worse. A few more ideas I've got floating around..... Dragging muffler, roof caved in a lil, and feild of dreams non drivable car. Basically all "model ageing".

Wow, that would be awesome! Okay, for a prize for this compo, how about the Skyline Set, it comes with three bodies so you'd have something to fix up your old hoopty with!
