I've been to a ton of stadium shows, speedway shows, and arena shows... I'm not hating on MJ, i'm hating on Feld's crazy strategies and descisions.

I just read some more of what you said and it honestly hurts how much you have no idea on anything... before the CRDs and FELD, every truck was a PEI.. they’ve all been the exact same. Why would they not be the exact same?? Why run 50 trucks with 50 different set ups??? That’s just plain stupid! And another thing is, they use more than one chassis, it’s a combo of CRDs, In house and Cohen built trucks still. And another, believe me when I say they buy some of the best parts out there. Stock Clark parts, they’re not built for this so of course they’re going to break, and even top of the line after market parts will break when you run the way their trucks do. They’re not running it into the ground, they’re making the best business decisions to keep many people’s favorite sport in business because with out them doing what they’re doing, we’d barely even have monster trucks any more. Also on the BKT thing. I’m not a huge fan, but the reason why they’re so fragile is they’re still in development! No one has ever made a tire specifically for monster trucks, so of course they’re going to have some bad first few versions. While they’re not the most amazing tires, they can take cars. A lot of the time when tires go it’s driver error by throttling over cars, which can cut any tire, not just BKTs. It just drives me insane how little you don’t know but talk about it. 

I didn’t bother to read your whole rant, but if you have this many problems with Monster Jam, then why bother watching it? I mean honestly. I love Monster Jam shows, 2 straight first quarters non stop of atleast 2 shows a weekend, and it never gets old! I honestly don’t understand fans like you, who have nothing but complaints... I think Monster Jam is producing awesome shows, they’re competitive, exciting. The normal fan, they don’t care what trucks are there or if it’s the same track in all honesty. Have you ever heard of the Del Mar and Pomona shows in California? Same track every year, and basically the same lineup every year, Ramers, Creten’s, Swanson’s, and Tony Canedo. And they sell out like 8 shows in. A week every single year. What matters is the shows are awesome. Also, have you ever been to a stadium show..? Vegas everyone pits in the back, and it moves very fast. It’s easy to be fast. The crew chiefs or anyone else don’t have to be on the track, as long as the techs are in sight in stands which is what they do at all shows to stage. And on top of that, I don’t think MJ wants to move away from Vegas, but it’s best for them to start testing the market moving around before they’re forced out of Sam Boyd in a year or 2 when it closes. I wish fans would just stop hanging on to the old days and hating Monster Jam, because Monster Jam is still just as good as it was and just as exciting.  

Edit: just saw the thing about Indies running Feld bodies, just saying they’re not being forced, it really benefits us independents because we don’t have to worry about destroying our own bodies. Yeah it sucks we lose our identities a little, but it still helps us and even allows us to run a little harder because we don’t have to worry about that roll over destroying our brand new body. It’s a choice every independent has, so if they make that choice who are you to say anything about it in all honesty? Indies don’t pay to enter into anything, and it’s theyre trucks so they can run whatever body they want to.

It looks like you have the right housings, but theyre supposed to be silver. The 4 link bars and sway bars and corners are also supposed to be silver, with pettibone corners. Has faded goldish overtime shocks as well, not the feld shocks. also on the housings they should have double tie bars (black), and red steering rams and red drive shaft cages. And theres probably lots of little stuff too i dont see immediatley. Oh and also there is a Amalie Oil sticker, Wix Filters sticker, Hedman Husler Hedders sticker, and a Hooker Harness sticker on the lexan above the tires, stacked in that order. Annnnddd the cradle should be changed as well, to have a black solid center piece with ORI in the center. And the windows in the cab should be clear, not black. The Raybestos flags should be Black and grey checkered, not orange and black. Umm oh and the FTI Perfomance text needs to fixed still as well. Heres a few more pics for reference of it all

Wrong body as well. Use the updated F150 from my Blue Thunder

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t blue thunder an extended cab? Torque is a 4 door so I don’t think they share the same cab. But I do think there is a Northern Nightmare on here with an updated 4Door F150 body 

Overtime performance and CNC. This isn’t the perfect logo to match, I can take a pic of it tomorrow too.

Thanks for helping

No problem, if you need anything else Team Razin Kane related let me know, I work for them so I can always get pics for anyone on here of the trucks!

Don’t forget to update the cradle as well. Here are a few pics of the chassis mod length wise. If you need some different pics for it let me know. Oh and also I’m not good with fonts but I’d see if you can find a closer font for “FTIPerformance.com”

Revisiting a old project of mine fti torque screw the hotwheels im gonna stay with this project 

 

  Don’t forget to shorten the chassis from that length, it is shorter in both the front and rear now. I can take a pic when I get to the shop this morning 

Yeah from what I’ve seen of the 3D body so far, it’s gonna be awesome

Can I ask what the heck happened to the concept scheme with the 3D Kraken and the rusty metal body? Ummmmm this looks terrible. Love the green chassis pieces on the new jester tho.

It’s still being built, this is just a temporary body while the 3D body is being finished. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of it, but it’s not bad looking I don’t think 

Did some updating to the list, if anyone else has more that I missed let me know!

Ride truck from Bottom Feeder Motorsports: The Fresh Catch!

Shouldn’t Gauley and Sims be the same truck because I’m pretty sure Steven drove Haley’s truck lol

So that puts them up to 4 trucks? Blown Income, Crude Behavior, Island Outlaw and now Rough Neck?

Holy crap did they build another truck???

Is there supposed to be no roof?

I think it’s just separate from the rest of he body cuz it’s just plain not painted like the rest of the body with a design 

Yeah that is true @Outlawed it probably could’ve have tumbled had he rolled. Either way crazy crash that’s for sure

Cool jump and all, but he was going way to hard at the end. He should’ve tapped the brakes in the air, or let it roll when he saw the wall coming  rather than slamming into Linsey’s truck and pushing it into the wall 

When Travis drove Captain USA it was Jeff’s Captain USA truck, not theirs

I have heard some rumblings about David

What do you mean just out of curiosity?

Destroyer and Captain USA were never ran on the Groth brothers chassis’ tho 

Kinda looks like the Bad Company name should be more italicized, and the 4 links and shocks don’t seem like the right shade. The truck also runs a flag with the truck logo on it now too

Sure it would be great if you send me the paint

 

Your truck depends on what chassis you’re putting it on. If it’s a PEI, it either needs all grey shocks like it has, with zoomies if you’re making it Scarlet Bandits chassis, or blue shocks/4 links etc if it’s the PEI Bounty. Or if it’s the CRD one, all grey as well. Or if it’s Iron Outlaw, then grey everything but the shocks various colors lol and red bead locks and it’s a PEI as well but older gen. Knucklehead is the only 2xtreme body that has ran on every truck, so you have lots of options

WIP KnuckleHead

 

I’m not sure what chassis that is, but if it’s supposed to be Creten’s truck then it looks like you have the wrong chassis cuz it should be a PEI and that looks like a CRD. But if you’re making the 2xtreme CRD then it should have grey shocks, not blue and not the MJ sponsor plate. Also Knucklehead never ran BKTs, it’s always ran ecoworks for the most part (varies by chassis it’s on). Good start tho!

I can’t see the pic but I wasn’t saying it isn’t Rat Nasty, I was just curious if it had actually been sold or simply rebranded by James and having Ryan drive it since James is promoting/running Elk River 

According to his Facebook, Dillon Fenley, owner of the Tantrum race and ride truck, has now taken over the King Krunch team as well. So I suppose that means he’s up to around 5ish trucks, cuz the KK team consisted of the newer KK truck built by David, the older racesource El Matador/Nitro Hornet and Whambulance assuming it was apart of the deal
