Purple on that body is absolutely terrible, period. But just its overall layout it still bad, no matter how much you change the color or what color it gets changed to. Even the blue ones Marcel Degen made I'm still partial to. Oh well, if the merch don't sell, the old scheme goes to hell. 

...but I guess they said it was to outdated...

One word... MERCHANDISE! 

Just saying that the ramp with the backflip ramp on it the backside close to the backflip ramp looks like it needs to be a bit more curved.

The backflip ramp is fine. I tried it out and it gives just the right amount of kick and rotation for a standard V4 truck.

Still needs a lot of work done to it, but here's something I threw together over the past couple of days:

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!

 

Do you know if he will be running the new chassis he had under the body at SEMA?

That chassis that had the body on it in SEMA will be Chuck Werner's new truck. 

I'd guess Batman... Now that John is driving it again it would make sense. My second guess would be thor, or superman.

It won't be Batman since all the press has already been done for Seasock returning to that ride.

Has anyone heard if Metal Meluisha is comming next year and if so who is driving it?

It's still around with Todd LeDuc driving it.

Hm, wonder what this may be.

 

Monster Jam is releasing a mobile video game app for the Apple and Android markets comes January. Main reason behind them doing this is to compete with what Odd Games put out in Monster Truck Destruction, which is doing VERY well. 

I'm curious to see if the additional days will make a huge difference in the track set up. 

From what I've been told, there are supposed to be two different track set-ups for racing and freestyle. Racing will be pretty basic, whereas freestyle will build off of the racing course. Of course, these are only the rumors I heard and things are 90% sure to change once race day comes around. 

...I imagine that body scheme to be exaggerated from what they are actually planning...

Oh trust me, what they put in those renders go on those trucks in real life. I won't sell Monster Jam short there, because they stick to what's in those renders. I'll give them major props there. 

Mark should be moved into Bulldozer If lupe gets back into El Toro Loco.

Funny thing is that Feld Motorsports still owns all of the trademarks and copyrights to the Bulldozer name!

is it 38 or 37 of rig of rods

37.

This isn't the first time around that Rodoni has run the El Toro Loco body on his truck. I think his first time doing it was in 2012 once, once or twice in 2013, and then again next first quarter.

the more racesources in the world the better

There's not any new Racesource chassis on the tour, it's just that Wolverine is going to be running on the same Racesource chassis that Aaron Basl has been piloting for years now.  

Dustin Brown is taking Morgan Kane's place in the seat of the second Iron Man truck on the fleet (Dustin will drive Morgan's Iron Man chassis), while of course, Morgan is going to the third Max-D (Morgan will drive Kreg's CRD Max-D chassis). Aaron Basl  and Ryan Huffaker will share driving duties in Wolverine on the Racesource chassis. This might've been cleared up already, but I just wanted to be sure you guys knew. 

Grinder's are no more come 2014.

true... Any ideas on what Kreg's gonna do now?

Last I heard, Kreg's still building chassis and running in Australia and will eventually start on his own new chassis for the return of Dragon Slayer. 

Wait a min. If Wild Thang is returning, who's driving it??

Last I heard, a man by the name of Doug Charles our of Louisiana bought the whole Wild Thang operation off of Shafer and will be driving the truck come first quarter. Correct me if I'm wrong, by any means, because I haven't heard this story in about a year.

Vater's 4th truck, is it not just Tim Bee's new truck?

overkill evolution. need more information plox

also the Slifko's are apparently done with MT's as per Zane Rettew, the fellow that bought Instigator, bought the new Backdraft.

Tim Bee's new truck has nothing to do with Vaters' 4th truck. I'll be putting up information within the next few weeks regarding the new truck (Overkill Evolution) on the VMM Facebook page. And yes, Paul Breaud did purchase Jeremy's newest chassis and will be running it in Trenton, NJ to start the year, but I'm unsure of what he'll do with it for the remainder of the first quarter.
