I think the site is overall great. Its organized for the most part pretty well but I think there could be some tweaking maybe, not sure where.

Does anybody else wish that this show was still running on speed?

Well, it was mulitiple venues so I guess it's technically a tour, but I've thought the same thing.

I get why you guys did it. I don't really have a problem with the performance of the truck I was just wondering if there was actually a difference or if it was just me. I'm for realism all the way.

Ok this has really been bugging me. I was just messing around, racing at Daytona. I was using the V4 Samson truck. It felt really sluggish hitting the gas and coming up over the hill and i just wasn't getting the speed through the course. So I switched back to a V3 truck, the Safe Auto Minimizer. It launched up and over the first jump and I was flying through the course. I did several runs on both. Are the V4 trucks "geared" differently? I notice they slide a lot easier through corners, like the friction on the tires was cut down or something. But Idk. I really ran as hard as I could and the V3 truck was much faster. On a side note. I love the v4 pack as far as the trucks that were included are concerned. But the quality just isn't there. I know you guys put a lot of hard work into it but they all look cartoonish compared to the realistic crisp trucks of the V3. Kind of blocky and I don't know. Just nothing looks as real or crisp as the V3 pack. V3 had so much detail and the rounded edges of the tires. El Matador is a stunning truck, and then you kind of go through some of the trucks in V4. Maybe its just the brighter colors? I don't know. Just some stuff that I needed to get off my chest. Been eating me up. I still love everything from this site either way and appreciate everything you guys do. Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way.

Was just throwing it out there, I know a lot of people wouldn't care for it but having a mud drag series as well sounds fun to me.

I don't know about you guys. But I think it would be really bad ass if somebody would start making mud racing tracks, and start making the NMRO mud racers from the 90's. You could probably use something similair to the f1 hillclimb machines. Also, I think it would be pretty cool if people would remake some of the old Penda race tracks. Naples would be a good one for both. Just something I had running through my mind all day. You could probably make them in a pack like the v3 and v4 trucks.

Here I was thinking everybody was going to skim over this post...

I think we can all agree that the Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas is an amazing and awe striking event. But there is one thing that has kind of been bugging me the past couple of years. That is the track itself. Obviously the racing course is what makes this event so Unique and I don't think that particular portion needs to be changed. I was a huge fan of the straight line penda events, and personally I really do not like all of the circle track racing that is the current use on most Monster Jam tracks. What I do feel kind of bland about is the freestyle format for the world finals. If you look at it, I mean really look at it. The setup for freestyle is almost always the same. A fountain jump here, a big dirt mass at the end of the track where the racing jump is, a couple stacks here and there. Its just all so...cookie cutter. I really do love this event and I would never attack Monster Jam and will always love Monster Jam and monster truck racing. But I would just like to see something different at the world finals. You know what I mean?

I'm gonna go with Clint Bowyer for this weekend.

I watched all the stuff on youtube by misterbones and stuff. Those are really great.

I really miss TNN. Full coverage of Monster Jam events. Penda Points Series, NMRO mud drags. I really miss all the World of Outlaws coverage. Full races, not just a quick hour program. While I do love SPEED channel, they are lacking in a lot of areas for me personally.

Well I was going to make a post about blender and me starting to make tracks. But even after watching tutorial vids I can't figure out the simplest parts. I mean, I can scale the original area and thats it. Yes pathetic. ANYWAY, moving on. Does anybody know if the NMRO mud series is ever on TV or even around anymore? Todays "mud drags" are rather depressing to me, its more like dirt drags. Just thought I would post it up to see if anybody knew anything, grew up on it and miss it.

how do you go about doing this? sorry, i've never used .37 only 38. It doesn't come up with the initial screen like 38 does. when i downloaded .37 and said to save all of my stuff from the previous version most of it disappeared. I'd also like to bump up the resolution and turn off that darned camera tilt.

So, the pack is great, but half the trucks don't have tires. The rims are there but no tires. How to go about fixing this?

If you look on google there are other track designs as well, behind the ramp there is a bus stack. Each year they changet the track designs. In this one there are two tough truck, atv jumps on each side. It is a pretty crouded arena.

I was wondering if somebody would make the Monster Truck Winternationals track that was used in Grand Island, Nebraska sometime. It would be highly appreciated.

I'm talking about a lot of the trucks in the pack and any individual truck I download.

I tried using .37 and it did the same thing, the pack wouldn't even work.

I can get the packs and everything to work. I'm using version .38. But when I go to add individual trucks to the game, I can clear and regen my cache and the trucks still won't work when I add them individually. Thoughts?
