If you've got some problems with the truck bouncing, simply change the tire mesh model in the truck file, firestones look the best on leafers and bounce less.

Bayley motorsport has two trucks (like most people!) ready for DJM, the current truck "The Old Drover" is open for a team-mate, it's a reliable and fast truck with some decent suspension to cope with any freestyle.

The black chev is slowy coming together, trials with the wing from Monster Patrol failed, but all is not lost yet!

The Old Drover

http://sim-monsters....m-theolddrover/

Just got to see if I can get up at 4am to get into the event!

Since my work on my "mystery" truck is almost peaking I've been fiddling around with blender and made this truck:

Whats so special about the truck?

1: It used to be the same body as GD:Legend

and

2:

It has dual wheels on the rear.

Due to my low skills in making trucks the wheels don't contact ramps and walls properly, but do work when the truck is on level ground.

Just got to get back to the DJM truck I'm building now!

Wikipedia- Digger #28- Do we even know if this truck is going to exist.

Breaking news! Digger 28 is the first existential monster truck and can only be seen by those who belive.

Great event as usual, a few missed runs from some people sadly and a celebrity driver in the midst of us regulars was a nice suprise.

Congrats to Mark for winning the "endurance" run he and Damian had.

And a special congratulations to Dan for taking freestyle in USA-1 by half a point over Mark!

I know I suprised a few people (including myself!) with a stellar first run from the Drover truck (reverse gear was popular!) but for Dan to go out and instantly top it shows how good a driver he is.

And finally, praize for Camshaft, who took Michigan Ice monster out and put in a grand first event.

Can't wait for next week, with some newer drivers and more regulars starting to switch to customs it promises to be the best fun-run simmonster can offer!

He does have the most-bad@ss looking truck in the field

Well if we've got 17 trucks qualifying for a 16 truck field, doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that most of us will qualify.

So, does it matter if we don't use the same "lane" we started out in or do we have to keep in the same "lane" when we cross the red and blue starting humps?

Sealedgecko just released a damn-good chevy leafer truck, with that and diggerfans leafers we could run a USHRA/PENDA series...

This has to be one of the best trucks I've seen.

Handles like a springy mattress though...

And, as usual I slept through my alarm and missed qualifying.

Throwing down my last few practice runs in the Drover, currently experimenting with taping binoculars to my helmet so I can see the next corner.

One thing I've learned from painting cars on NASCAR The Game: Inside Line (I'm in a painting contest, league, thing.):  Save often.

Lesson for working with ANY track creator on ANY system.

-edit- might as well show my work.

From the money Bayley motorsport made from selling the "drover" to FELD to become a Crocodile Dundee ride truck we have made enough money to build a new supertruck!

Freshly edited chassis, about .4 times longer than the original truck

Just got to paint the shocks and bake the shell and the new mystery truck is ready to go for the DJM series.

Would that happen to be the mid to late 90's-early 2000's TNN?

Pages 3(leafer),5 and 8 of Projects chapter 26 Tom.P says a TNN league is in planning.

Pages 15,19 and 23 of Projects 25 show off Diggerfans awesome leafers

I know we've got Diggerfan who is making some late 80's leafers, got a TNN pack coming out too and there might be a league to go with it.

Maybe we might see an Australian themed truck in the future?

I'm not a smoker, but I am around plenty of them, and this truck reminds me of a pack of Marlboro (however it's spelled) cigarettes lol! Nice truck though :-) 

Nice spot, the original version was in full Marlboro colours but I toned it down a bit for this truck.

It's a very popular paint job in Australia and I'd say about 20% of our racecars are painted up in the scheme, I just put it onto a monster truck.

Well, after a fair bit of fiddling, my fifth custom truck (and first serious attempt) is done and is actually decent for once.

The "Drover" runs off the chassis of Bad News with suspension softened by a bit, body is from Mechanical Mischeif, with some minor blemishes smoothed over in blender.

Flags are USA and AUS flags. tires are ukraines front and rear.

Hope to have this truck running at the next Hump Day shootout then practice in blender to make the DJM version.

Nice track, only problem I have is the... probably the white ground.

I've been back into skinning trucks again thanks to a blender-less cloning tutorial and turned my Bad News truck "Drover" into something older, since Australia doesn't really have any modern monster trucks, a 90's chev will do.

Just got to put a design on it and see if I can get permission to run it in the next Hump Day Shootout.

wow that was a fast time mark ran this the finals? what was the #1 qualifying time? I don't remember a 36 sec run! I ran a 38 something and I though I was fast! hory sheet!

Mark qualified 1st with a 36.90. 9 seconds between 1st and 16th.
