I acquired a copy about 7 years ago.  Unfortunately, as far as I know, the game won't work on Windows Vista.

You can use a truck spawner.

 Well, yes, but not all tracks or terrains have a truck spawner on them.

You make jokes...A family friend races at a local track...He was having some issues with his car's handling, which I also had on similar tracks in videogames.  Using what I learned in vid'ya games, I actually pointed him in the right direction and helped him fix his car up.

That said, RoR (or at least the forums) have definitely invoked some violent reactions in me.

Is it possible to load up more than one truck at a time on .37?

Is .37 the last version that's super stable?  Seems like 38, 39, and even 4.0 had a metric buttload of issues that never seemed to get addressed.

Ok, so I downloaded V4, but only about half of the trucks show up in-game.  I'm running ROR .39, would that cause missing a ton of trucks?

In most leagues you will be counted down for doing that. They are considered "hack donuts." It's the same thing if you turn only the rear axel

What's the best way to do "real" donuts in a league?

I mean, I've seen plenty of Monster Jams where actual drivers do rear-axle donuts.

Jeez, that was easy.  Now I feel dumb for making a thread.

Maybe a dumb question, but is there any good way to get high-speed "cyclone" donuts in RoR?  I can get a few good rotations, but then the truck starts to tip.  It makes for a kickass freestyle run, but it's not a good, clean donut.

What I normally do, for donuts, is this:  Start in a circle, front and rear wheels turned the same direction...mash the gas as I let off the rear steer...keep the gas mashed down as I sorta balance the rotations out with the front wheels.

But, like I said, I can only get a few rotations before either the truck starts lifting, or the wheels grip up and I flip the love over.

I heard Monster Jam might switch over to Fuel TV when SPEED closes. Whatever the hell that is.

Fuel TV is as far as I know a satellite or digital-cable channel that deals in EXXXTREME SPORTS!!!11!!11!!!1!1!

But, I do agree that it would kick so much ass to see Monster Jam on some broadcast networks instead of cable-only.

Here's some of my stuff I've done throughout the years:

I'm no expert...just some hack with a copy of Photoshop...

I've been thinking of attempting a skin of Little Miss Dangerous, but can't seem to find a decent looking Willys pickup.

Actually, a plain white truck would be cool...something fairly easy to modify/customize the paintjob and in-game truck information.  I've been tossing around the idea of customizing a few trucks, but can't find a truck style that I'm looking for.

Why would you download v3? v4 is the updated, and waaaaayyyy better pack...

*shrug*

I'll give it a shot.  V4 took an immensely longer time to download though...like, so long that Firefox deleted it for me halfway through.

None of the Digger trucks seem to have bodies in the V3 truck pack I recently downloaded.  Is there a patch for this at all?  I've seen one patch on fileplanet.com, but the download link seems to be dead.

Semi-veteran ROR user here...I've been doing ROR for about 2 years, modding my own cars, downloading trucks and tracks from here all the while, so I'm familiar with that whole scene.  I've done MTM and MTM2, but not on my laptop anymore since Windows Vista won't run either of 'em.

I've loved monster trucks my whole life...first memory was in '91 at a local show, which I actually have a DVD of.  Then, I got into Monster Jam in the mid-late 90's, which I have a VHS of somewhere around here.  I've been hitting the local Thunder Nationals shows when they come to town.

Favorite trucks?

Bigfoot...Avenger...Little Miss Dangerous...Escalade...Advance Auto Parts Grinder...I do think Digger is a little (ok, a lot) played out, as well as Max D.  Those two are among my least favorites.

Got a couple vids from Thunder Nationals:
