Build of the Year 2025 Nominations

Reuploading because looks like I need mod approval to post with the BOTY tag

Alrighty gents and gents, once again that time is upon us: Build of the Year!


Nomination Rules:

  • One nomination per build, however the same builder can have multiple kick ass builds nominated if you so choose

  • Any submitted builds should have build threads uploaded and available at the time of nomination

  • Any threads posted by January 28 will be considered fair game for submission/nomination, after that date nominations will be closed and voting will commence, this means get your builds uploaded and submitted before that date if you want to be in the running

How to Nominate:

  • If you would like to nominate your or a friend’s build all you need to do is reply to this post with a link to the relevant build thread (only posts between Jan 1 2025 and Jan 28 2026 will be considered)

  • Nominees, to lock in your nomination I would like you to post some pretty pictures I can use when I make the official voting thread later on

Voting:

  • Just like last year forum users will each be allocated 5 total votes, I know it’s hard to choose just a single “favorite” build so I’ll give you some flexibility to pick a few you like, you may only vote for each build a single time.

  • Nominees are not required to vote however they may also cast their own votes if they so choose, no special treatment, you guys get 5 total votes just like everyone else. Voting for yourself is corny and said votes will not be counted, additionally should it be found that a nominee fraudulently inflated their voting tally (i.e. through alt accounts) said nominee will be disqualified.

That’s about all for now folks! Get those build threads posted and pictures taken, in the mean time I will be reaching out to any vendors I can think of in hopes of securing donations for a prize pool, if you are a vendor who would be interested in such an endeavor feel free to shoot me a PM, or chances are you’ll be hearing from me soon either through email or through a PM right here on the forum.

While I’m waiting… I really like @AdityaAurora’s race board: MyRaceBoard: Tito Dualities, Radium RTS, and custom parts galore

@MichaelWA ‘s white ember also gets a nom if I’m allowed: White Ember (pls don't sue me) - Redember44, 4wd, Duality, etc.

Blitzkrieg and Raspberry Riot definitely need a nom as well but I’m not going to go crazy

Look at how sexy and fun this thing looks.

I want to nominate all of Andrews builds because they are all so pretty and clean.

But this ProtoTypo one seems especially fun with the Radium wheels.
