  1. Sorry guys. Might not be able to make it.
  2. Wall mounting. Pole dancing.
  3. Welcome aboard. Glad to see another "aged" gentleman in here.
  4. I don't put a watermark on everything I do, but I decided to with this one because it turned out really well. If you'll click on the picture it'll make it larger and you can read the signature, that is if you were doubting I made it.
  5. Just thought I'd share my latest. I make universes from scratch.
  6. Looking good. Not too sure about the squared tire look though. I'm sure it'll be great though.
  7. Well when my lady and I first got our DirecTV it was only about 30 a month with DVR and a regular receiver. Stayed that way for about a year til the promotions ran out then it jumped to 80. Got to where we'd only watch about 6 channels and most of it was what we had recorded. Got tired of paying that much and not really watching anything, but I do miss being able to flip to Speed and catch whatever was on.
  8. Haven't done a video in a while. Got inspired tonight watching Max D's freestyle in Baltimore so I thought I'd do my own. Enjoy. [media=]
  9. I like it PC. Looks like a hulked out Tahoe.
  10. I'm just now getting to see the Baltimore freestyle episode from season 9 on Hulu. If it wasn't so expensive nowadays I'd get satellite again just to watch Monster Jam. Being this far behind is no bueno.
  11. Looking good! This makes me excited! Was a very good show.
  12. Thought I'd give this a little bump and share a few of my favorite pix I've taken.
  13. Just a few "playing around with things" pix. Enjoy.
  14. Each separate truck you download has to be extracted and placed into the V3 pack. Just open the zip file of each of the trucks you downloaded, then select the contents within the zip file and add them to the SMPack_V3.zip.
  15. I play Battlefield 3 but haven't in a while. Psn is DurtyDuncan.
  16. I was thinking the same thing the other day. Also the Hulk and Abomination would be cool.
  17. Some folks think they're crafty, or that the rest of us are stupid.
  18. Again I agree with you Josh. In my opinion the Slash and Slayer trucks are just another example of the target demographic. I love my Blitz because it's both a great basher and comparable racer. In relation to monsters, I remember a few years ago the only option for a scale solid axle truck was the Kyosho Mad Force, but to me the closest thing so far has been the King, and throwing on the longer links from the crawler kit, a 1/10th body, and a sway bar setup make for an even more scale monster.
  19. Josh is right in some aspects. As far as durability, Traxxas vehicles are tough, but on the other hand, their target demographic is more towards younger kids. And on top of that they dominate the market. In my opinion I think the Monster Jam "replicas", if we can truly call them that, are for the lack of a more appropriate word crap. The trucks are 2wd and are independent suspension. Two main things that their real life counterparts are not. This was probably done to keep costs down and make the trucks easier to operate and maintain for their demographic, kids. Don't get me wrong though, as an owner of a Traxxas E-Maxx myself I can say that they are tough vehicles, easy to maintain, and parts for them are readily accessible, but as far as realism and true to scale goes, I would've loved if HPI had gotten the license to do the replicas. My Wheely King is hands down a better looking replica of a real life monster. I know you Clod guys will most likely chime in and say that the King is crap too, but for the price point and the realistic look you can't beat it. I for one love the work I've seen on many Clods, but some of us can't afford to drop that kind of money into a truck. My solution for keeping costs low and still having great realism? Buy a Wheely King and put a Traxxas replica body on it. So with all that said, yes I think the Traxxas replicas are crap realistic wise, but you have to appreciate the fact that someone is finally making the trucks that we enjoy and have wanted to see in a "store bought" version for a long time.
  20. Came across this. Even though I'm still not a fan of the fact these trucks are independent suspension and 2wd, I thought this was cool. Check it.
