    if you had a brain and actually went to school it is very unrealistic

    You may want to consider changing your attitude if you’re looking to have your requests filled. Your language and rather disrespectful comments are definitely not gonna get you anywhere around here. And I haven’t seen you post anything other than rude things about other people’s work, so if you claim to have already made things, you may want to consider posting them to have a chance of backing your self up. Otherwise, be polite and grateful that someone took the time to make these trucks, because they sure don’t have to make anything for the community or especially people who talk like you do.

    Sorry? It was my first ever post on here and clearly I made a rookie mistake. Every forum is different in that regard, don't gotta come in so hot, this is supposed to be a community, no? Not exactly the friendliest greeting ever but whatever, it's the internet...Moving on. 

    My bad, didn’t see your post count, plus your username seemed familiar (So many DiggerFan’s on here that I can’t keep all the numbers and whatever differentiations straight) so I thought you’ve been around a while. That’s my bad, but hey now you know.

    And I could've sworn I've seen posts of Phelps' trucks running with an MJ label on the side, though that could just be old.

    I know Monster Patrol has displayed in Vegas at least once, so if there’s pictures around with a MJ logo on the side, WF display trucks are probably required to have it on (I’m sure Bill Payne’s trucks had them when they were in Vegas) so that’s what you’re probably thinking of. But he hasn’t run his trucks in a Monster Jam Show, and I don’t necessarily think he would unless he wanted to pay for all the BKTs he’d need to tire up his operation with the sponser’s product (Still curious how Roger Gauger and USA-1 got around that. I know he only did a few shows here in there over the course of what I think was two years under that sponsorship, but does spray painting BKT on his Goodyear’s really count?)

    Hoping Phelps can step it up and MAYBE even secure a deal for some die-cast versions with the Spin Master MJ line.

    First off, don’t double post. There’s a plus sign that allows you to quote multiple posts.

    Second, you’ll have a better shot of Hot Wheels making Bearfoot since Phelps doesn’t run in Monster Jam. I see that being a fairly realistic possiblity in the next several years.

    You’ve pretty much already requested that this truck be made...

    So again, you seriously need to calm down with the requests. While I applaud you for getting them into the correct format, you are still incorrect with the chassis as it is a heavily modified PEI and not a Ramer built chassis. If someone wants to make this truck, they will on their own time when they want to work on it, and it may be released when they feel like it or if they feel like it.

    Anyway, here's Deja Vu 2019.

    Deja Vu still is by far my favorite custom truck on this site so probs to you. One suggestion I would make is for you to maybe try adding Body Mounts to you chassis so that your body isn’t just completely sitting on top of the chassis? Just a thought for better realism for you to consider. Other than that, paint is super awesome and I like the simplicity of the beadlocks on this one (previous versions had the gradients in them, and while cool they were a little distracting and out of place in my opinion).

    Hello, I was a tad bit excited when i seen Kayla was in Soldier Fortune this season, it has been a great truck for her so far. So i decided to take to my Blender and do this.

    Great start, but I’ve got a couple of thoughts. First off, John Dough did great with the paint, but I personally thing that it’s a little dark. Maybe lighten up the body and the beadlocks a little bit. Second, make sure you change out the old outdated Monster Jam logo for one of the newer ones. Other than those body/paint corrections it looks good to me!

    My thoughts on the monster truck industry

    All I’m really saying is that I think that the sport of monster trucks is not a real motorsport, and I attribute this to the past 20-25 years of the sport increasingly heading towards a more “sports entertainment” format, but really culminating with Monster Jam pushing it over the edge. You’re right in saying that MJ isn’t solely to blame for this, but I believe thay’ve completely cemented the status of monster trucks as a joke of a motorsport. They’ve jumped the shark with freestyle and the big stunts. Also, nowadays it seems like Monster Jam has entered a new era of being basically like Disney on Ice with monster trucks. They own basically all the trucks that compete with them, and when you go to their shows, the drivers are always young, good-looking, cheeky, bubbly little millennials who talk like Disney princesses and princes. They are basically just actors playing monster truck drivers. Feld owns Disney on Ice, so Monster Jam is basically just Disney on Ice with Monster Trucks. I went to the show in Nashville at Bridgestone last week and the whole time I felt way too old to be there because it felt like a Disney show aimed at kids. The announcers speak in these cheery little voices, like they’re talking to kids. It was just kind of unbearable.

    You have to remember who the target audience is. Families with children are the main revenue draws for Monster Jam, so they’re going to make a show that reflects that. That’s why bodies nowadays are kinda getting farther away from being trucks and now are character oriented. Older fans, while still present and important, aren’t the biggest piece of the pie, so that’s why we’re seeing this shift from Motorsport racing event to theatrical performance.
