  1. Avenger wins freestyle in San Antonio!! YEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!
  2. I agree with you on the last part, except for Colton and Cole. Cole has worked with Adam for years and proved he could drive hard enough in a digger filling in for Legend a few times. Colton also deserves it because he's a wild man period. Jared and Krysten need some development before I think they deserve it (Jareds obviously closer). But then again, FELD likes to get as many Andersons and Meents's into the sport, and the obvious choice for them is to stick them in the truck they're affiliated with. Maybe they could make some more "Son uva _____" trucks or something. Also, why would you want the world finals to go back to 16 trucks? The shows are rushed as they are, and there's way too much good talent out there now.
  3. Linsey doubles down in San Antonio Coty wins racing in Orlando, Mikey wins freestyle. Cory in Rage nailed a perfect backflip too EDIT Way better picture of the new Avenger
  4. Ok, I'm half decent at painting, so I'll give ya some tips. First, I got all my skills from taking photography classes at school, then transferring what I learned from that into ROR painting. Therefore, yes, I use photoshop. I'm sure you can do most of the stuff in paint.net and Gimp if you don't wanna buy it (it's pretty expensive lol). There's just a couple easier ways to do stuff in Photoshop. Next, start with a bake, and fine tune the base color over it. Then start from the back and go to the front or vise versa. If there's a pretty complicated character or design on the truck, open up a new image and either trace off a lower quality picture or free hand it from reference photos. Sometimes you can get lucky and find some of the designs through Google and different monster truck websites. Once you are done with the paint, just a little suggestion i do, overlay the original bake to the finished paint so you get realistic shadows. Just takes some time and patience to make something really high quality. Have fun!
  5. Get rid of those ugly tires, I made them like a year ago and compared to my stuff now they look like crap. Just use junky dogs like Rocco said. Also, remember all those color tips we gave you a few weeks ago for your paint? Use those
  6. Made this for @cp2013. Even though it's just a repainted Avenger (cp painted body, I did the rest), turned out good enough to be shown off \
  7. That parking lot tho... That's awesome! Saw this one on Joyride, pretty awesome show.
  8. Yo got my old user name in the creditz. Classy ?
  9. Dennis landed flat on the roll cage and medics came out. They drove him off in one of their carts.
  10. I know the new Wrecking Crew was getting some hate, but up close it looks pretty darn good
  11. Next weekend is his first show of the year... hopefully he has a new body to go along with the new chassis
  12. Logo's purple as of last summer, hasn't been green for a few years I think.
  13. Cynthia wins overall champ in Salt Lake City, and Sipes in Megalodon runs away with it in Nashville taking overall points
  14. Ryan Disharoon in Saigon Shaker takes event champion in Charlotte Indies FTW!
  15. Looking great! However, I've got a few suggestions The logo on the body's too low. On the real truck, it's much higher. Not sure if you did the paint yourself, but try and raise it up. As a matter of fact, that whole paint could use some touch ups. Also, I know you said it's not done, and I'm not sure if you're going to add this, but he runs a sponsor plate. It's a really simple solid black one with like 3 stickers, so it shouldn't be hard. Last, I'm pretty sure the trucks a tiny bit higher. I don't think the 4 links go below horizontal. Just trying to give some constructive criticism, keep up the awesome work!
  16. Amateur hour's over kiddos. Guys, if you're going to make a "dirty" looking truck, you have to paint more than just the tires!!!! I know this would water lock the engine, but who cares! Photoshop is fun
  17. Looks like Atlanta will be rescheduled to Sunday March 5th at 3:30 pm.
  18. If it's supposed to be ice themed, why is the chassis red/pink, and why are the words on fire? Honestly the truck doesn't look too bad, but it doesn't match the theme at all...
  19. on phone but here https://s24.postimg.org/rxniohbir/image.png?dl=1&_ga=1.124657039.40748532.1483116794
  20. New Truck- Over Bored (Even tho the name isn't new, the entire truck is) New Scheme- Bigfoot: all of them Rookie- Tyler Menniga New Venue- Plymouth Speedway, Plymouth Indiana (Hands down cause of the fountain jump ) Save- Blackwell at San Antonio (One of the few "saves" this year where the body didn't hit the ground) Air- Todd Leduc: Everywhere Race of the year- Crushstation vs. Heavy Hitter, Mt Pleasant (Go watch it on Joyride, youtube doesn't do it justice) Breakthrough- Groth Bros (Both had a great year) Driver to watch- Bryan Wright- Hooked Stadium freestyle of the year- Damon Bradshaw: Everywhere (Consistent af this year) Arena freestyle of the year- Derric Anson in Beaumont, TX Crash Madness- Red Solo Truck and Snake Bite in Wildwood (C'mon, if anyone says anything else they obviously only watch MJ )
  21. FELD's been looking to get rid of some of the older drivers for a while now. Duhon, Rod Schmidt, Dustin Brown (still working mechanically), Soza, Krmel, Norm Miller, Liddycoat (he's not on any schedules for 1st quarter, but idk for sure) and others are being released/transferred, which totally sucks cause all them have worked hard to get where they got. FELD wants a bunch of young "marketable" drivers to help their image. That's also why there's an entire tour of rookies for the Triple Threat thing. Mcdonald wasn't even supposed to get a seat until Madusa got hurt.
