He does not, he runs the same Hemi motor as the Hall brothers does. And basically just call him up and order a frame and he’ll probably ask what all you want done to it. And honestly you should learn to work on the truck, because to be the best driver you should know and understand how the truck works and what every part is and how everything works basically. A lot of the best drivers out there are former crew chiefs or independents who know the ins and outs of their trucks.

Facebook group Monster Truck Parts only might have a few and to know that some are for sale you just have to ask, not everyone has them listed just trying to sell them off. Also, you’d be better off building brand new (don’t buy a brand new turn key truck or else you won’t know how to work on it. Build it yourself) because buying a truck, especially in that low of a price range, can be sketchy and sometimes depending on the truck you can end up spending more than a brand new one would cost just to make the truck worthy of running

CRD parts run about 1200 a piece for both knuckles and champagnes I think. Buying Clark planets is hard todo these days- the machines they came from are getting scarce so it’s like 2-3 grand for one Clark corner, of which most of the corner isn’t even used anymore because of all the upgraded Clark parts you can buy.

I mean honestly we all want to win no matter what, we still care about competing because we all want to be the best, and no it’s not scripted at all

Like I said, it varies. Bigger name trucks will charge you more. Most people won’t tell you what they’ll run for unless you are trying to book them, and honestly it’s not info to be out in the public. Also Koehler has insanely well built trucks to take the crazy stuff they do, so that’s why they can run so dang hard. Their trucks are tanks

Ah see I missed that, if you pay a flat rate, then it’s possible. Teams just need that flat rate to make it worth the trip. Would be cool to see it worked out

Thing is, no one destroys their truck on purpose, I promise you. And when we do freestyle and get that flat rate pay, and most people adjust how they’re running based on what their being paid to run that show. It’s very easy to make a small mistake and destroy the truck and that entire show check and then some, so it’s just not worth running the truck hard, even if it’s just in racing show only, if you’re not getting paid and I don’t think MTs will ever get away from that. Yeah it’d be cool, but I don’t think it’s practical and don’t think many people will run their truck for purse money only

I think the hardest part is, that there isn’t enough money in monster trucks to only run for purse money. Typically sponsors for indies are mainly just products or just good deals on stuff. It’s very expensive to run a monster truck so you have to get that base pay that we get to make it worth even driving to the event and unloading the truck, because there isn’t millions of dollars in the industry. Say you’re racing hard in the semis, you crash and destroy the truck, now you have no money and 17 different parts to replace because you folded up the front end. I just think modern monsters are just to far away from being a legit racing league to ever go back and be successful

I havent seen many shows this year so I can't speak on much of this, but I will say i've done arenas all year with Tyler and literally just about any of his runs could be Arena freestyle of the year, and I would honestly say Tyler was the driver of year, I think he could outdrive just about anyone.

I know she left Monster Jam a few months ago but I could see them trying to bring her back now

Yeah I think they do own those rights as well. Either way I don't think the deal is ending, just a driverless truck now being that Collette appears to have left, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of the other female drivers gets switched to Wonder woman instead

Wonder Woman is actually apart of the Scooby Doo sponsorship I think, because I remember when it came out In one of the fine print things it had them listed as coming from the same thing I believe. Either way it's not Marvel, and I don't think the deal is ending but I'm unsure what they're doing driver wise. Also, Paul Strong will be driving Storm Damage this weekend

Kevin King will be driving Axe and John Killinger will be driving Storm Damage in Rochester NY this weekend, both making their first MJ appearance of 2018 and Axe making it's MJ debut

Did that show both times they did it this year.. insane that they can sell out 11 shows in one arena in one year.

Your chassis color seems a little to dark of a blue, all Vaters trucks run the King Shocks (except for Overkill), and there is no Dalton Millican sticker on the body, and lastly make sure you change the sponsors from the MJ sponsors to Vaters sponsors

Team KCM chassis. Was western renegade

Here’s the blue Storm Damage. I believe Mente ran it this weekend in Wheatland MO while Travis had the grey frame wherever doing whatever he was doing

I figured they’d park MOD and the other truck for first quarter, was just speculating maybe 4 trucks at some point next year which would be cool I think to see another indie team expand.

From what Travis said this weekend the blue one is just kind of a back up truck for right now. Speaking of those frames, I saw on a post by Zane Rettew a few weeks ago a picture of his green one, with a 08 Chevy body on it (no wrap) so thinking maybe he’s redoing it into a 4th truck for the team since it didn’t sell? Not 100% sure on that

It is the old Hurricane Force but I believe it’s a black rock frame

Cole Venard will be driving Stone Crusher this fall on AT1, where my woman Kristen Hope will also be making her MJ debut in Razin Kane, as well as driving Megalodon in Rosemont. Nick Pagliarulo will also be making his MJ debut in Kraken as well in Bridgeport, CT.

@OutlawedWho owns it now? Also, John Fitzgerald, has bought a race truck. Not sure which one but it looked like an old PEI. He owned the Turbulence ride truck which he just sold

It’s awesome that Team KCM getting their foot back in the door with MJ. Hope to see Wicked/Dragon Slayer/Vendetta/Kamikaze at more shows for them in next few years

Iron Outlaw is that chassis. Creten’s truck is the PEI he’s been driving for the past few years. I can’t remember the year it debuted but I know it’s been like 5 or 6 years or something like that

Okay seriously it’s a PEI chassis with a new cage, not a Ramer chassis.
