He sold it to those people who are supposedly coming out as a new promotion, Garden Bros motorsports. They also bought Ballisitc

Bad Desicion is the old Brute Force, which was originally owned by John White, sold to the Perry’s, and bought back by John and renamed and now driven by his son Alex.

Yeah, when I first made the list was when Miss Overbored was still on the Willy’s chassis and hadn’t run on the black pearl chassis yet. But I haven’t changed it because I figured the 3 names plus Wild Side being listed in other identities still gives the idea of only 3 chassis with 4 names essentially.

Did some updating to the list, lots of changes in the past few months! Several new trucks have debuted, Tre Knight has debuted his team of trucks, Black Gold and Fools Gold(also heard it was named Eye Candy?), the former Brute Force returned to original owner John White and was transformed into Bad Descision, the former West Virginia Mountaineer became John Fitzgerald’s Turbulence, Monster X Tour acquired several trucks, Walking Tall has a new owner in Tyler Wind, and much more! Check it out!

A new truck driven (and I assume owned by) Trey Knight called Black Gold debuted in Gonzales Texas, it’s just an all black trophy truck at the moment, no wrap yet so I figured no point in posting a pic yet lol. It’s a Flame Motorsports chassis.

Little shake up for 2Xtremes B Team this weekend In Austin, TX with Rod Schmidt getting behind the wheel of Jekyll and Hyde and Kristen Hope taking the reigns of Iron Outlaw for the weekend!

I think this year is kind of a test year, being its first year in somewhere other than Vegas. Excited to see it regardless of the lineup because I think it’s anyone in this fields game

Brandon Vinson joins Tristan England, Tyler Menninga and Todd LeDuc in the World Finals 20 lineup after winning Triple Threat Central. The next champion to be crowned will be Stadium tour 2 in Philly on April 20th of which Adam Anderson has a slight lead on Neil Elliott. Stadium tour 1, which Tom Meents currently leads, has 2 stops left, ending on April 27th in Denver. And Arena Tour 4 is the last to end, ending on May 5th in Manchester, Randy Brown currently leads there.

How is that fair to the drivers to group them all together like that? Or to take them out of the truck they won in? If you earn your spot you should get to drive your truck. Besides Charlie didn’t win his tour so he’ll more than likely be in Mutt not Digger this year. And how’s the points ruining MJ? I think they’re awesome. It’s added so much more competition and something to truly keep up with as a fan on who’s winning what, I think the points series is great. And before anyone says it’s rigged, it’s not. The Digger on my tour finished in 4th place. Stinger Unleashed (indie) is in second place and has had the lead over Digger a few times. I think the points is helping MJ, not hurting.

Note that ATV, Speedster and 2 wheels are all based on wins and averages in those competitions, so being that Jared did one triple threat show this year he won’t be in st all.

Kristen is taking Wolfs Head over as the permanent driver next weekend in Syracuse. Also she won her first overall last night here in Southaven in ICM! edit: Todd LeDuc joins Tyler Menninga and Tristan England in World Finals XX as the stadium tour 3 champion! Next champion to be crowned will be Triple Threat Central next weekend In Columbus,OH

Brad Allen will be behind the wheel of Team Screams B Team Monster Mutt truck this weekend in Huntsville, AL

Lots of shakeups this weekend. Kristen becomes the first female driver of Ice Cream Man this weekend in Toledo. Jared Eichelberger will be driving Tristan England’s Earth Shaker this weekend in Toledo and from now on as Tristan heals up from a fractured ankle. Becky McDonough is in Soldier Fortune this weekend for Kayla Blood in Raleigh, NC and lastly Roger Stidell is going to be behind the wheel of Steve Thompsons Earth Shaker in Vancouver BC

Looks awesome! Is it hard to make trucks on the road? I’ve been wanting to learn but last time I tried I couldn’t get blender to work on my computer lol

Another thing to remember with a new truck is it’ll take time to tune it in the way you want it, especially as you’re learning

Yeah you’re only allowed to run 10% on the super chargers which with MTs is plenty, and so is 1400 HP lol

That’s the thing about Midgette that I think really sets him apart. He builds motors for MTs, and longevity. I actually had the chance to meet and work with Richard himself this week while we were at Diggers, and he is excellent. He builds great motors, and is an awesome person to work with and really cares about his customers and is basically the only one out there building motors to do what MTs do, so honestly it is probably the best bet if you ask me.

That I don’t know of, you’d just have to do some research on that one.

There’s not many Racesource trucks out there, really none of them are competing much these days that I know of. There’s not many Concussion trucks either- Bigfoot 21, Monster Patrol, Wild Thang, the new Bear Foot, and Midnight Rider are the only ones I know of. They are good trucks, but high motor/highCG. The new gen PEIs- Stinger Unleashed, Pretty Wicked, and the new Jester- are lower CG but still not quite as low as the others I don’t think. Personally design wise I like the new CRDs/Cohens/Edys the best, and that’s probably what I would buy and they’re all basically the same truck, not sure the price difference tho. The new PEIs are pretty stout too, Zane rolled his like 100 times last year and it still looked to be in good shape

Correct, most MTs use a single MSD Pro billet mag and points box rather than the standard distributor system because the mags generate a lot more power. I wasn’t trying to take anything away from you, was just trying to show ya the best thing I would think to do for your engines, and wasn’t sure what you knew lol. Personal I recommend Dart blocks or Merlin’s and the internals is really up to you but it’s not hard to find parts there are tons of manufacturers making performance parts. Main point being you want to find the best parts you can and while it takes a lot of money use the best parts you can or you’ll spend hours chasing constantly broken parts

Well the problem with that motor right there is that it’s only rated for 670 HP. Yes the trucks run off methanol, and super chargers. A super charger basically shoves more air into the engine so you need to build an engine with internals(crankshaft, pistons, etc.) that can handle 1300+HP and honestly you’d probably spend more money rebuilding that crate motor than you would having someone just build the correct motor to begin with

@Outlawed Ah, okay. Thanks for the info! Always good to learn

If you’re wanting something for racing, a CRD or a David Smith chassis would probably be best, they sit low and run well, but there’s a lot more that goes into it, shock angle, your shock tuning, etc. It’s hard to give you a definite answer for a hypothetical truck lol. And engines for most People is just a somewhat local race engine shop, definitely want a place good with blower motors. Usually you order the parts you want, and they build it. Also on a chassis you do want to be careful on how you set it up, the lower you set it up it can make the truck harder to jump. A good example I use is my uncle, Darren owns 2 old gen high motor PEIs, and because the CG is so high they get off the ground with a lot less effort, vs the CRD Bounty Hunter he built when he worked for Creten, which sat much lower, he said you had to drive the truck a lot harder to make it jump the way you wanted. Also, tuning the truck in the way you want it exactly takes a lot of time and small adjustments, because there’s no telling what shocks will do. When I worked for Darren we set Jailbird and Nitro Menace at the same ride height, same pressures in the shocks, same shocks and same valving inside of the shocks. Nitro Menace drove and landed like a dream, while Jailbird just bounced off the ground like the shocks weren’t even moving when the truck hit the ground. Hopefully this is makes some sense lol. Oh and no that Storm Damage is a J&B chassis, dont believe they are doing them anymore that I know of. They built that storm Damage, the silver chassis that was Earth shaker/Hurricane Force last year and is now Fire Zombie/Storm damage, and they also built the green Stinger chassis and the Master of Disaster chassis.

So while a lot of those trucks resemble Cohens, they are actually built by Edy Majaka (idk if that’s how you spell it) I’m not sure if he works for Cohen or what, but I know Edy built both Overbored/Black Pearl and Hurricane Force. Edy is also currently crew chief for Team Overbored. As far as building the truck yourself it’d probably be around the same price as buying turn key, but I guess personally building the truck yourself gives you the option to build the truck exactly how you want it- which when you have a lot of experience in this business like I do, you know all kinds of little things you’d want to do but I think the biggest thing as someone new is that you have to learn the truck so you should just built it yourself. Plus it helps you to learn what all parts you need, and where to get them as well. Chassis wise it varies by price but I think a bare PEI chassis with shock mounts, lexan tabs, 4 link tabs and all the cages/guards that fit that chassis is around 15-17 I believe or maybe a little more now. CRD has a pretty cool deal, you can actually purchase a lot of basically the chassis but not built, and instructions on how and where to put each bar and such. Of course you’d want to be a good welder if you’re going to take that route. When it comes to monsters there’s a million and one different little things you can do to your truck, and honestly it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what you’re wanting to know without knowing what it is that you want to build. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the new Bad Company is also one of those Edy/Cohen chassis.
