Bet cha weren't expecting me and Blaise to be droppin' this one 

 

Yes, I know that's the cleanest it's ever been 

The first time that body has been in one piece since it came from Trey Myers' shop. Very nice.

Gregory isn't going to be running next winter as far as I know.

Is Iron Warrior/Stallion #2 gonna be painted black or will it still be blue? I'm actually curious cause it might actually look pretty cool if it's blue with the Thunder body on it...

The chassis is staying blue, and the Higher Education chassis is staying black as well.

So JR Seasock and Matt Cody are driving for FELD so.... yeah I'm betting my top dollar Mikey is too now

JR and Matt are still running their trucks for Q1. The Higher Education chassis will have the Rottweiler body while the Iron Warrior chassis will have the Thunder body. And no, Mikey is not driving for Feld. He will still be driving EVO for next winter.

They actually stopped going to the Izod Center after 2015. Don't know why.

Money was never made off of the IZOD Center. They were so far into the pooper financially that Monster Jam wound up being one of the last events ever done there before it was shut down. It's used as a rehearsal hall for concerts going to MetLife Stadium now.

That might explain his absence from any lineups

That's not the reason why. Lineups aren't complete yet across the board. There's still some teams that have yet to be added.

And the last.

also why is the windsheild cut out? Visabilaty?

It helps with visibility during muddy events where mud will get caked up outside and inside the windshield, but if it also helps when you don't have the proper cleaner or cleaning tools for it. If you don't use the right type of cleaner on it or the right type of rag/cloth, it'll streak really badly and it'll really mess with the vision of whoever's driving when it's really sunny outside or when the lights are bright at indoor venues. I've used both great and crappy cleaners and rags to clean Lexan, so I can tell you first hand that it'll either be invisible or streaked to the point of no return.

technically that mongoose screen shot is from a blues brothers movie IIRC. (look in the background)

Pretty sure it was Joe Dirt.

I'm not entirely sure how the business behind it works, but I'm assuming if Feld worked out a deal to run Supercross in those stadiums, then they'd also have one for monster trucks. 

There have been Supercross events at stadiums before that Monster Jam haven't gone to. Not saying that these places may never get Monster Jam in them, but I'm not saying that they definitely will because of Supercross going there. Supercross caters to a much broader market than Monster Jam does and has a lot larger of a following than Monster Jam, so there may be more demand for it from venues.

Also Denis instead of Dennis

And Zane apparently is building a new ride truck, dunno what was wrong with Stinger the Shuttle especially since he put it for sale a few months after it debuted but

 

Zane still has the Shuttle. He's got 2 race trucks, 2 ride trucks, and 2 tanks now.

Well,.... first one to guess gets whatevers under the dash. 

 

 

 

Release? thoughts? also i made the engine sit too low so the 4 links are in the oil pan, minor detail

All you're missing is the window pane sun roof and you're good.

I hope the rear steering is activated and the truck isn't that much out of center... also wow that rear end axle is extended back farther than I've seen on... any truck really

Somebody that was working at that event said that the rear steering hoses kept blowing off of the steering rams, so it probably just had no hydraulic pressure being held in the system when that picture was taken. In due time they'll have that thing running good.

Sure.

Anyone know where this was at? Hurricane Force on (what I presume is) Matt's Black Stallion chassis

Display in Maryland; and yep, that's Matt's S-K BS chassis.

Alright Dan question for ya, is the chrome body a permanent thing now? I'm kinda curious since he did trash it in Vegas and it looks pretty fresh here

The chrome body was only on for qualifying and racing. We threw the junky FS1 Championship Series body on it for freestyle since Mikey told us he planned on bringing EVO out in a body bag after his run. Mike and Marty didn't want to new body to get torn to pieces since it was just getting done wrapped at 4:00am on Thursday morning. Plus, every year in freestyle at the Finals, the old body goes on so the new one gets saved for the next event. And as far as I know, this body will stay on for the rest of 2016.

Season 10 was still great, but ever since the show was brought out by Netflix, it just isn't the same. I liked season 1 through 6 because of how much more natural the acting felt. It's too scripted now.

do you not see how high the back of adams truck sits.......

The shocks are gassed all the way up to full extension so that it'll be easier to set the shocks for competition.

So Papa Vaters did this last night...

 

 

Stallion's a little worse for wear after that. Hood's destroyed, body mounts are pretty mangled, and there's some chassis damage. Mikey didn't have it as bad since he only did some left rear shock damage. Should be interesting to see what happens for Syracuse... and be sure to keep up with all of it on Facebook and the website. (Shameless plug) Watch this cool video, too.
