Rick has finally moved over to a flame motorsports chassis
 

Yup, that was Eric's "old" chassis that he ran in Vegas last year.

Old swanson truck is getting rebuilt, Wicked Strong appears to be name. No other info made public past that
 

Used to be the old Obsessed Chassis that Rick jumped into last season when Eric ran David Smith's chassis. Sold the truck as now both Rick and Eric are in David Smith's chassis. Like Nick said, truck name is Wicked Strong. 

The frontflip ramp has rotating kickers on it. When the front tires hit the front of the ramp, they flip down, and when the flip down they act pretty much as a wall for the back tires to hit. Think of the two wheel skills this year for example. A lot of the ramps that people were getting the nose wheelies down on are very very steep (Pretty much a straight up and down wall) The front flip ramp acts in the same way as the two wheel ramps for the back tires, meaning it allows the rear of the truck to kick up while the front end has momentum moving forward. So if you combine the momentum going forward and the force of the rear being pushed up, that is how the front flip ramp works. 

Just got back from Oakland and Nampa. In Oakland we battled some issues with the truck both shows unfortunately, but in Nampa we definitely had some better success. 

Friday Night:

Racing-

-First round win against Monster Mutt Dalmatian

-Second round win  against Tom in Max-D

-Final round just got edged out by Chuck in El Toro

Took third in the Two wheel competition just behind Digger and Max-D

Ended up taking third overall in the event standings. 

Saturday Night :

we ended up blowing a transmission in racing but we got it fixed in time for freestyle where Eric placed fourth. 

Saturday Afternoon:

This was our show and it felt great to finally have some luck on our side this season. 

Racing-

-First round win against Grave Digger

-Once again barely edged out by Chuck in El Toro

Two Wheel-

Eric got an awesome nose stand where he dragged the front bumper across the floor, but just barely lost to Tom in Max-D as he did his signature nose stands. Eric took a close second in this competition.

Donuts-

Ended up taking home fourth in the donut competition 

Freestyle-

Eric had an incredible save (Link below to video) with some great air mixed in and ended up taking home the freestyle win!

Eric was very consistent all event long and I am stoked to say that we ended up bringing home the Overall Event Championship!!! 

1)Avenged Sevenfold 

2)Bullet for My Valentine 

3)Sum 41

4)Butcher Babies

5)Breaking Benjamin

No particular order:

Slipknot, Lamb of God, Deftones, Trivium, Dropkick Murphys, Chevelle, In This Moment, New Years Day, Pantera, 10 Years, Starset, Killswitch Engage, Bring me the Horizon, A Day to Remember, The Eagles, Good Charlotte, Lacuna Coil, Seether, Staind, and of course, The mighty Metallica and Black Sabbath  

When you spawn on the map, move the mouse to the top left of the screen and some options will pop up. Hover the mouse over the option that says simulation then I believe it is something like spawn new vehicle and that is where you can choose the vehicle of choice.

I thought they just ordered another Flame Motorsports chassis?

We did, but the motor mounts are further forward and lower compared to the last chassis from David

Brand new paint scheme for Outback Thunda, and per the post from Monster Truck Promotions Australia the new look is about 75% finished. They also mentioned that their entire fleet of trucks are getting updated looks as they head into a show this weekend, I'll keep an eye out for pics and video from the show; oh, and this new look is all airbrushed too.

That chassis looks familiar...

Still here. It has been at least 5 or 6 years on this site. I sure do miss all the hype of the truck packs coming out, all the hype and competitive sides of the leagues and special events, seeing actual content on almost every post in SYP (Not kids fighting), members who we as a community hated together (and yes, all the older users know exactly what names come to mind instantly) I just remember and miss when this site was at its prime and full of amazing content and friendly people you could talk MT's about.

What exactly do they burn in these engines? I always thought it was some type of alcohol-based fuel.

There is an option in the config and the ingame settings that allows you to disable arcade driving. I don't currently have the game, so I don't know exactly where it is, but look for a setting about arcade driving set up and disable it.

Found it and it worked! Thank you!!!

Hi guys, I just downloaded 0.4 (yeah, I know, a bit late :P) and I was wondering if there is anyway to change the setting for the brake pedal. I hate how if you push the break pedal too long that the truck goes into reverse. Is there any way of switching it back to how it was in .37 where you could hold the brake pedal (down arrow) and not have it change gear on you? Thanks!

Since I lost it while transitioning computers, does anybody have the 72 Chevy  Square Body bake? Thanks!

Brad said it in a joking fashion. Missed half of convo, ill just take it down. Bad title too, my mistake

And I totally get it, I'm not trying to be mean at all! I figured he was joking, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a bunch of keyboard/instagram warrior 10 year olds posting about the "Big fight and blowout between Jim and Brad"

*After Brad Allen said I quit, and Jim said it's just a planetary vid*

 

 

I don't really know what the purpose of this video is, but the title of it suggests that there may be drama at hand, and something like that isn't cool at all to film and especially not post.You got lucky enough to go back into the actual pits after the show, and that's totally cool, but you have to be mature about it... I don't know if Brad was joking when he said he "quit" or if may have been serious, but regardless that is not something you joke about. Yes monster trucks are way different than most jobs, but in the end, Jim is trying to run a business and earn a living and Behind the scenes like this you have to understand that. If you guys ever encounter drama behind the scenes, just leave it there. It isn't you business nor should it stir the pot of drama around the racing community.

They've ran out of bodies? Or did they not have room for any spares once they hit the East Coast?

No room for spares. The body suffered bad damage in Houston after the backflip, and at the next show in Jacksonville the body completely ripped apart and is beyond repair.

Not a big fan of seeing Digger after Digger at the WF, but I honestly would like to see Menninga in the main field. I have never seen him drive and would be very interesting to see how he did on a big floor.

Here is the place to post your Main Field Line-up and Double Down Showdown Line-up predictions for this upcoming World Finals!

Annnnnnd, Go

Eric Landed another backflip in Houston! (PS I was going to post this on here but I saw your post so I added the video for ya, been waiting to see Eric really throw down with his new chassis. If the parts will hold he can win-Kozak)

Controversy over Eric's Win in Anaheim. Apparently 3 out of 5 judges were friends with Eric. I thought he had a decent run, but I didn't think it was necessarily a winning run... (Don't want to trigger Bo, but can you elaborate on this one?)

 

Honestly have no idea... I honestly doubt they were his friends though.
