_PiTBUL_

For a game? Nah. For real life, I walk the track, check the car out, and put my gloves somewhere I can reach them when I strap in. All the while talking to the guys that are crewing for me in a Scandinavian accent. It's actually a good way to relieve stress.

I'm the only one I know who walks R/C tracks before every event...and yes... sometimes the ovals too

I'm with Demko... little bit of herbal inhalant works pretty well

Made my passes... felt ok,at least I kept it upright and pointed in the right direction.

 

I'm much more prepared this week aswell,  figured out my AVG auto settings so it wont kill me again, have all but a few trucks now, those few either don't have a link or is broken and are as follows

Radio Active
Grim Reaper
Cyclone Cowboy
Ballistic
and X103

if someone can help me out with those few I'd be able to help alot more if asked to aid officials again...

 

Can't wait for the Nordic hill track, now we need some of their trucks to play with aswell...

I know some of those bodies exist in the MTM world, including the lambo... (I beleive Turbo had done them... if that is the case I acquired permission from him to do whatever with any of his works LONG ago, I'll try to get ahold of him to re-ask but I'm sure he won't mind seeing them with new life, as most of them where converted models from other games)

I agree we need more...  and trucks to go with them...

but i find my self just very curious as to what gearing he's running to get it to stand like that.... I know short wheelbase and being very tall helps a bunch... but the motor still appears to be up front, and them tires don't turn very easily lol   I'm bettin he's got a bottle helpin him too but still

Congrats Aaron,
   who'da thought the season woulda started with a Double Down!?!?!

 

 

I had fun and learned alot.
I'm fighting a few computer issues + a MAJOR learning curve lol

I apologize if I caused any issues because of that, I'll be honest I wasn't as prepared as I THOUGHT I was, especially when you asked me to officiate,  atleast my AVG killed me and an alternate host was found before we suffered any issues on the part of my un-prepared-ness.

 

I'll have it figured out next go around and shouldn't have any problems.... now I just need to learn to drive these trucks under pressure... I get em around the track fine offline...

looks great but the way the yellow/red checker pattern morphs up the ramps hurts my brain a lil

PLEASE tell me you race over the table tops in the turns....

LOVED the dumpster track from back in the day, no one has built an actually race-able version like it that I've found yet... for any game...

yea being microsoft Its definatly a windows game... and being an older game doesn't easily work on anything newer than XP...

 

little info for getting to work with newer windows..
http://www.gadgetcage.com/how-to-run-microsoft-monster-truck/943/

 

someone had it working on macs but I don't remember how... give me a couple hrs to scour the old sites and I might get lucky for ya

Neat lookin rig.   I've always been sucker for the trucks built outside the norm..

might just be me but I think the dark cab area causes you to lose alot of the body shape detail that you've worked into it... might I sugguest going full olive drab or even possibly desert sand color... as opposed to having the bed drab and front half black ish.

to anyone who doesn't have it... go here http://vales.com/mtm2/ theres a link right there on the main page to download the full game FREE....it is abandon ware now that the copyrights have expired and MS has no interest in reviving it, so its all legit

 

As for me if its cool with you guys I'd like to run my old Jolly Roger http://www.mtm2.com/~trucks/dl.cgi?dl=5040

I hung my rumble gloves up a LONG time ago... but I may still be game for some bashin

May he (and dimebag and Dio, and all the others) Rest in Peace...Should a peaceful rest be what their sole desires...

 

this came up on FB this morning... thought it belonged here too...

not sure who painted up giggles for him but I know Damien Bowers (CIDRA Racer) ran the truck, he would know

got all the kinks outta the truck and still got time to wax it

might as well toss an old pic or 2 up for now, need to get em cleaned up for a photo shoot...



This was just my primary race fleet 4 years ago
Lf Nitro TC3 (sold) Lc Bolink LTO Pro (retired) LR Clodzilla II custom Pony Express body (sold, still have body)

Center Tamiya TA05R (BADMOTHA)

RF Bolink Eliminator Pro, Lc, Tamiya F-103L (retired) Lr RC10T3 team (set up for carpet/dirt oval)

 

close up of T3

 

 

 

 

Vintage Tamiya Road Wizard, ALL ORIGINAL  not exactly a shelf queen as it still stretches its legs when I get to TCS events (finished 4th A-main in memphis 2011)

 

and don't think cause the clod was sold, that I am MT-less

Kyosho Twin Force.... will drag the bumper with a 6 cell 3000mah (OLD pack) and a pair of 27T stock motors... is WAY faster than the clod ever was

 

my next post will be a multi part post... I've just rebodied my fleet of 15 vehicles....

I see a thread about retro games and get excited, then I see a bunch of N64 stuff and think.... I FEEL OLD...

I started here

 and I'll give 5 points to anyone on here who knows how to use an intellivision controller...

you guys seem to have missed the epic greatness of RC PRO AM II on NES or Super Stunt Race FX on SNES

 

you probably have no clue how hard of a game "Race Drivin" or its clone "Hard Drivin" was to play even in the arcade (wich was the first machine to have a functioning clutch)
 

 

I grew up playing games like Street Rod on PC  then when the time came MTM, Soda Offroad, INdycar Racing, MTM2, DTR, Leadfoot....

 

now I'm in a nostalgia hole....
GOOD THING MY NES STILL WORKS (and yes it is hooked up)

Rock my jaw is still on the floor after seeing that.. WOW

 

I don't recall that being in MX ATV but it looks fun reguardless

Definatly on bored with that circuit/rally track idea...

MudPIes from MTM1 would probably be AWESOME in ROR

Uh oh... get the defibulator ready.... Blizzard is about to have a coronary episode...

looks great so far...
I agree... more leafers are needed

YAY!

MONSTER TRUGGY!!!!

might I make a sugguestion...
 

extend the front body line down between 4-6 scale inches
then pull the mouthline back and lower a tad  and pull the eye a slight bit further down... it almost has a goofy look too it IMO

*revs motor impatiently...
C'mon calender go faster...

Glad everything got sorted out.

sorry for the mix up... blame RKM

Did I goof something in the upload or is it server issue?

cant wait...
Got my truck all finished up...now gotta wait my turn to rip it apart
