  1. I not only work on them and drive them on a daily basis, I have been strapped in and jumped a truck before, so please dont tell me something like I have no idea what I'm talking about. Don't get me wrong, Mikey is very talented, but it is easy to get lost and not know the exact spot you're on the track, especially when its dark, you're going fast, and can only see a glimpse of what is infront of you. I'm not saying its totally Mikeys fault, because its not, all i'm saying is that its possible he didn't know he was that close to those people or that wall or the exact spot he was in on the track.
  2. I wouldn’t say he did that on purpose, or that he knew exactly where he was. Driving a monster truck is tough, and being strapped in it’s hard to tell exactly where you’re at and what’s around you at all times
  3. I’d say it’s on both like everyone else, Mikey should’ve known where he was at and taken precaution, as the from the one video I saw (haven’t watched anything here as the links don’t work on my phone) it seemed like he had plenty of other areas to take that turn rather than right there. It also seems there really shouldn’t have been people there, but the video I saw it looked like the person in front of the camera was wearing a headset so maybe that was the crew area? I could be wrong as like I said I’ve only seen one video so it’s hard to tell and it was dark so please correct me if I’m wrong there
  4. Bomb squad? I’ve never even heard of that one. Is it a race truck?
  5. Looks like a photoshopped body onto some kind of new frame? Not a fan of it. Also I mean if you’re gonna post pics of new stuff like that you should include a little more info with it cuz I’m curious as to what it actually is
  6. A few things. A, Jailbird and Nitro Menace are literally the exact same truck, so I’m not sure you really need different chassis if I’m honest. Just Different colors. Also, your bodies seem really small, they don’t even cover the bottom frame rail of the door. The paints also fit the bodies horribly, they seem super stretched and thinned out. Neither truck has headlight stickers, or Mj.com on them. Here’s some pics. Also, the batteries are under the hood, not in the cradle. Nitro has a mixture of yellow shocks (not seem in my pics as this happened afterwards) and grey shocks (yellow PEI shocks in the rear, grey Knight Stalkers in the front). Nitro also has grey 4 link bars, grey tie bars, and blue sway bar arms. Both trucks only run a single tie bar in the front. You’re also missing the side panels with the sponsors on them. Also you have the wrong body, they’re on a 4 door F150 body like Northern Nightmare, not the extended cab. And lastly I’m not sure if there’s any other steering ram models out there but they run Racesource steering rams, not the Feld ones with those self centering mounts Any other questions let me know, I worked for them lol
  7. Actually if you’re trying to make Matt’s brand new Jester (the one with the green accents) it’s a light grey, and not that chassis. It’s a brand new PEI, much like Stinger Unleashed (which I think is also the same color as Matt’s too). Trying to find a pic of Jester rn here we go
  8. Aw man back seats would be nice. We have a team shop truck, an 01 Ford Ranger base model with like 340K on it and it is an extended cab but has no seats which was rough when me and Kristen and Rudy were all riding back and forth to work lol
  9. Lots of little issues plagued the truck, idle control, fuel but not electrical
  10. Honestly this weekend in Tampa was a huge cluster, there were a lot of times where no one really knew what was going on and such. So it wasn’t super organized lol
  11. That is hot 😍 working on team RK has really made me fall in love with those new Rams, I wish I could afford one lol and @Outlawed I can’t afford an LS lol but I think once we rebuild this motor and cut the cat out it’ll run pretty good (I hope)
  12. I have a few vehicles right now.. first up is my 1968 Chevy C10. It was my first truck when I was 15, and I daily drove it to school. Was a project for me and my dad but never had much money to do a whole lot with it. The trans was rebuilt right after I bought it, been through a lot of motors because I had a bad luck string of them. It’s currently on number 5, a SBC 350 with a little work done but nothing special. Still needs a lot of work but sadly it’s in Oklahoma with my dad and I don’t really have a place for it right now. Next is Kristen’s 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger, 400 big block, 4WD. Another project that me and her want to do and is here with us but kind of off to the side at the moment but hopefully we get to it soon. I also have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500, straight base model v6, pretty sure the only option they got when it was brand new is that it’s green not white lol. I bought it in 2016 and when I did it had a small slip in the trans between 2nd and 3rd, over time it got worse but this truck honestly made me a dodge guy. I gave this truck heck for Almost 40,000 miles and the only things I replaced were a radiator and a belt(AC compressor locked up and snapped the belt, and haven’t had a chance to change the compressor) and finally a few weeks ago at around 248K the trans gave up and lost 2nd and reverse, and just gonna get rid of it because it’s in rough shape. And finally, just bought a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, fully loaded, 4x4, needs some work but it’s nice, but of course right as we got home the motor started tapping and lost oil pressure.. I think the oil pump broke, not sure yet. We got the motor out this week and are going to tear it apart soon and see what it is. I’ve had a rough go with all of the 5 vehicles I’ve ever owned lol (6 if you count the F150 but it’s not mine) sorry about the long post lol
  13. Any Idea who owns Hardwired and Race Monkey? Also, wouldn’t the current Crusher be a few years old? Cuz I mean they ran 3 trucks for a while so I assume that meant that Race Monkey was the 2nd Stone Crusher?
  14. I would agree but honestly it’s an improvement from the latest crap we’ve gotten. And I really enjoyed those games lol
  15. I’d be happy if we can get back to like the self titled game or Masters of Metal type games atleast
  16. Ah well I wasn’t counting everybody Digger was just talking about the trucks on my tour lol
  17. I’ll be in Tampa from Thursday to Sunday so I’ll be around but I might be working during the pit party not sure yet depends on how things go
  18. Ah. So yeah ever since Vegas he’s been driving whatever available Digger. Why was 29 retired? I didn’t think it was that old. Oh and Colton’s truck was brand new this year, I believe everyone doing the Florida triple threat tour right now is still in their truck from first quarter except for Tyler
  19. Im not sure what they're doing for first quarter with all that. And I'll be in Tampa, crewing for Rott and Shark.
  20. @Outlawed 32 got retired after Vegas, he broke the frame pretty badly so they just retired it, hence why Tyler is driving 34 right now, and drove 29 (I think it was either 29 or 31 I can’t remember it’s all a blur lol) in all of our April shows
  21. Yeah it’s a CRD. Infact all of the TT Central trucks are CRDs except for Digger 34 I think (that’s what Tyler is driving rn)
  22. YESSSS!!!! So hyped. A few small paint things: The Hedman Hedders logo is the reversed kind, with a white background and red letters, and there is an ORI logo between PFC Brakes and MSD Ignition (I can get a pic of it or find one for you and send it over). And if you need pics of anything, let me know, I work on this truck daily and I cant wait for this to come out, itll be pretty cool to be drive the same truck my GF drives irl! @Steele here’s a picture if you zoom in on the cab, that’s what it has under the PFC logo, not above.
