  1. Go ahead and take me off the list. I'm not sure I'll be racing anymore.

    I saw Motionless in White one time. I crowd surfed onto the stage, then proceeded to dance Gangnam Style until the security forcibly threw me off the stage.

  4. Oh lord, I should not have found this thread. This sent me on a massive nostalgia trip... Well, I had a few truck series (I wanna say Mystic ran for 13 or 14 trucks), but the one that actually matters when I got better at the game and started doing reasonably well was Vengeance. It's the truck where I won my only major championship and (even though I find this hard to believe looking back) actually ran for more than 2 years. Before I post these, please know that I know how god awful the paint jobs were. I've never been good at painting trucks. Hell, go look at some of the stuff I did when I first moved over to RoR. It's terrible. But I did make something, and I loved the trucks either way. The biggest thing about the Vengeance series is they were all based off the same custom-built frame that was a mix between a Patrick and racesource. Vengeance 1: This was the beginning. It started around the time I tried to do SRDS and really was all about how terrible my reputation had become and how I wanted to lift it out of the crapper. It seemed smart in my 13 year old mind, but that's beside the point. Vengeance 2: A bit better, and this is where "Vengeance Man" started (the guy with the purple sword) Vengeance 3: This was an interesting one. I tried to pull off chrome flames, and it actually turned out to not be too terrible. A bit more blending and it could've been much better Vengeance 4: Vengeance 4, while being one of the better looking ones, didn't last very long. I didn't much care for the way it looked, even though looking back on it I find it to be one of the better looking Vengeance trucks. Vengeance 5: PPRL World Finals 3 Racing Champion Vengeance 5. Far and away my proudest moment in the game. IIRC this was a 24 truck field, and this was arguably the peak of competition in MTM2. The drivers were incredibly quick and consistent, from Collard to Payne to Robson and so on. It made me quite happy to take the win, and the fact I did it in the Vengeance line made it that much more meaningful to me. This was far and away the longest lasting of the Vengeance line, as it was built only 10 months after Vengeance 1, but it was over a year between this truck and Vengeance 6. Granted, there were a lot of other side projects between the two, such as Biohazard, but still. Vengeance 5 carried my one and only major title flag in MTM2 Vengeance 6: This was probably one of my most iconic trucks in MTM2. Even though it's the newest, it has more downloads on mtm2.com than the rest of the series. This truck, although it never won a championship, took me to numerous racing event wins throughout the many leagues running at the time. This was the first time since Super 7 (heh, anyone remember that crap?) that I was accused of having a cheat truck. I spent literally days fine tuning the handling on this truck, running numerous passes around different styles of tracks, in order to get it to fit like a glove. I knew my racing style, and I wanted something that fit it. It was a solid freestyler, but that's not what it was about. Vengeance 6 was all about winning in racing, and it did that well. It was damn near unbeatable, but it never won a title like Vengeance 5 did. And of course Vengeance 7 was built when I came to RoR.
  5. File Name: Penumbra II File Submitter: runt9 File Submitted: 24 May 2014 File Category: V4 Customs If I'm going to come back, you know I've gotta have a new truck. This is a more modern remake of the truck I ran in the last season of IDS during MTM2: Penumbra. This is my personal custom truck and cannot be used by anyone in any league other than myself.

  6. Of course, if you mix in the coils with some nitrogen shocks, you get a lot more out of them, because you've got the stiffness of the coils to keep body roll down, and the nitro to help cushion the blow a lot more so that the coils take less abuse. A pure coil setup just wouldn't work in modern freestyle, though, unfortunately, no matter how cool they look. Either way, I drive like Jim Jack, so it's not like the truck would really take that much abuse. It's generally two small hits and a roll, lol.

Otherwise have done nothing to prove myself in this community yet.
  8. ^^That. I realize that coils in todays world would be absolutely useless for modern freestyle. However, I absolutely love the look of coils, and I was going for aesthetics here. It's a video game and I can do it, therefore I will.

  10. She's almost done. Just gotta play with the tires and rims a bit and touch up a few more details and I'll have it done:
  11. Let's see if I remember how to do this.
  12. Picture a mix of Jim Jack and Madusa.
  13. Well, it's been too long, and like I always do, I've gotten the itch. I need monster trucks in my life, and I haven't had any in over a year now. I still have lots of other priorities in my life, but you guys might be seeing me around in a league or two. I'll try to hang around the community a bit as well as I do kinda miss some of you guys.
  14. Guys, I truly apologize. My life is not in a position to run a league right now. I'm down to the last $5 in my bank account and I'm trying to pick up programming jobs on the side to pay rent. I want to run this league and enjoy it with all of you, but there are bigger priorities in my life. It's not like I'm still the same 15 year old kid who comes home from school everyday without a care in the world and can spend all afternoon/evening on league stuff. When the time is right, I will come back to run the league again. Until that day comes, we are on official hiatus. I will not let this league die because I've put over 50 hours of work into a website and web server for it, a tournament bracket system I built from the ground up, and something that RoR has never seen before - an administration interface integrated into a backend database for driver/results storage. This league will not die, I will see it through to the bitter end. Just know now is not the right time for it.
  15. Tomorrow's the 4th and I really don't want to run an event on a holiday, so we'll all have another week off. Enjoy your holiday everyone!
  16. Guys, I am still extremely busy. I'm having very little time to actually dedicate to the league right now. Mark, you're welcome to qualify people in since you're already helping with the server. This game just isn't my priority right now. I'm trying to make time for you guys since I know how much everyone enjoyed this league, but it's getting tougher and tougher as it goes on. I'll keep you all posted as to whether or not we'll be pushing off this week's event.
  17. Well this is cool. I have been extremely busy this week and currently only see 3 people qualified on the qualifying page. Since we're not even remotely close to fielding a 16 truck event tomorrow, we're going to put this off until next week and hope that word gets around that IDS is back. Last thing I want to do is have to rework the bracket system to accommodate smaller numbers of people, or even worse, cancel the league. Get your stuff together guys. I'll try to be more prepared, too.
  18. Qualifying is open! Message one of us to qualify!
  19. I just want to get a scope of things right now... How much is everyone actually looking forward to IDS getting back underway?
