I attended this event and have more pictures if needed.

new (gun)slinger chassis. 

(the old body isn't returning, they were just using it to test the truck).

I swear it's not free for me. maybe it's because i have an old computer idk but it's my luck

i'm not saying you're lying or whatever but, your computer date has nothing to do with product price.  paint.net is free for anyone and everyone.

EDIT: watch this video:

Going to prevent myself from going off here on Feld again... *inhale slowly* *breathe out* This is nearly as bad as that crappy Rampage thing. 😔

It's a ONE TIME body for that The Meg's blue carpet promotional thing.  It's literally not running.

Kinda but not really 1 2002 blue thunder was 1 slight brighter blue 2 it was driven by tony farrell

It's literally the same chassis and body. It's not a different truck so no need to make a whole new one.  The 2001 is the same as the 2002, hence why rockgod didn't make a 2002 version.

Yeah But Blue Thunder by him is 2001 not 2002 2002 is when tony farrell started driving blue thunder

Blue Thunder is pretty much identical in 2001 and 2002.

bunch of whiny crybaby yapping.

Dennis was going to retire eventually, this injury was bound to happen if he kept driving.  With all these advancements, of course it was dangerous.  I do agree FELD could have given more respect and honor regarding his retirement, but we don't work for FELD.  We have FELD to thank for a lot of technological advancements in this sport, FELD can provide the amount of money to explore the technology and advancements most other teams can't, have you seen the new technology placed on several trucks including Son-Uva Digger which allow for troubleshooting problems faster and make reading information regarding the truck easier and is even electronic?  These advancements also allow for independents to learn and grow as teams.  Monster Jam isn't unfair to independents, you can not tell me that independents have not learned from what FELD's chassis do in order to advance and do tricks (A prime example being Trent in Megalodon).  Independents running Monster Jam bodies is a choice and overall saves them money.  FELD uses the same chassis so they are compatible with all their bodies which is easier for them when it comes to international touring.  Your complaint about teams sharing parts is literally stupid too, Monster Jam carries spare parts to help all the other teams including independents.  Why should someone pay to see a truck break and not run when FELD can provide a part they need which benefits both the team and the crowd.  I understand you grew up with monster trucks / Monster Jam being bus stacks and walls of cars, but remember that people from the 80s grew up with trucks that could barely catch any air and the only obstacles were straight lines of cars.  Monster trucks will always evolve for both the entertainment and safety aspects.  I don't agree with everything Monster Jam does, but I applaud them for how they have improved the sport.  If you don't like Monster Jam, there are other promoters to support.  I don't understand why you're constantly stirring the pot on this site.

Another point worth making, Monster Jam is partially responsible for a lot of members on this site.  Monster Jam has more fans and has garnered more attention than any other promotor.  You can thank Monster Jam for a lot of modern exposure. Without Monster Jam, I'm sure this site wouldn't be nearly as big.

and, NtheDiggerFan, before you quote me saying "I 100% agree *insert more butt kissing*", you dont.  I'm contradicting your claims.

So got Hooked finished today.....

 

 

One small detail I noticed, if you're going for 100% accuracy, the team recently made some changes to the chassis.  They added some different rear chassis support like the ones on CRDs and Inhouses.  The truck looks great!  

i think we found nthediggerfan's brother.

That's really interesting but I like it.

They had the chassis built by someone, its a Digger shop inhouse replica, similar to Black Pearl but not built by Cohen.

My bad,  I was going off the little amounts of information I had heard from various sources!

Looks like a Cohen?  Also appears to be the same shock package as Black Pearl which is leading me to believe it's a Cohen with a Garcia shock package

 

Pretty sure it's a terribly photo-shopped Ice Cream Man.  Not sure what that means though...

The chassis was custom built by the team.  It was heavily inspired off a Cohen.  They look very similar, but upon comparison, differences can be determined. 

RYAN HAS WON

i cringed at the encore but, the trucks looked cool so thats the only thing that matters.

Also, Jester is Purple this year. Go look at his Insta. He said the secret paint code was: "The color rhymes with Avocado translated to spanish." Morado is purple in spanish.

 

Rojo =  Red

Amarillo = Yellow 

Rosado = Pink

Blanco = White

Dorado = Gold

Plateado = Silver

There are way more colors that end with an O, lmao.  Also, in order for something to rhyme, it typically matches in syllable count.  Avocado has 4 syllable while morado is only 3.  Purple is in my opinion, quite a stretch.

Honestly, even though FELD is cheap as frick, I would personally like to hope that due to this being the final year in Vegas for a while, they at least pay some sort of homage through differed paint schemes.  I don't understand how FELD didn't pick up on the MAJOR positive feedback to the differed paints.  Even if you don't paint the chassis, there is still plenty of room for other schemes.  FELD obviously has the money but, I have trust that they can at least do something good, last year was an improvement so hopefully they continue on the path of taking minor hints from fans.

I don't think Bari deserves the spot in WF over Colt Stephens.  Although I do think that if Brodozer had debuted, his spot in World Finals would've been definite.

So, i met Matt Pagliarulo (Jester) today out near my work and he said that this could be the last year the World Finals will be held in Vegas. The and other drivers have been hearing rumors that it could be moved around from year to year, that it could be held here in Glendale or even held in Tampa. I dont know how legit these rumors are but it could be pretty exciting if it was to be held here in Arizona. 

Not to come across as rude or as a jerk, but haven't we all heard this rumor every year?  I don't think Monster Jam is gonna stop capitalizing on an event as massive as the World Finals.  It's my OPINION that it wouldn't be moved due to the 'tradition' of it being held in Las Vegas.  I'm not saying you're wrong, but the likelihood of this actually happening is slim.  We've all heard this whole ordeal every year.

Hampton, VA Saturday night was  a great show.  The fan judging was going really great until freestyle.  Mark List and Jared Eichelberger had killer freestyles in my opinion and even included some two wheel stunts.  Unfortunately, due to the bias for Grave Digger (They called Hampton Grave Digger's "home town"), many people voted a bit too high for Brandon.  Not saying he had a bad freestyle, but he definitely lacked the momentum and air presented by the others.  Zombie had a broke transmission and didn't make freestyle.  All but 4 Speedsters got either a broken tire, tie-rod or messed up engine. Collete, Brandon, and Jared crashed in 2 wheel skills.  Sipes won ATVs, Speedsters and, 2 Wheel Skills.  Collete won donuts.  Brandon won racing and freestyle and took the overall event win.  Great event and possibly the best one held at the Coliseum due to the amount of new talent present.

Not sure on his wife, But i believe MOD Is going on his current Stinger and the current MOD is being retired (chassis has been running since 2012)

 

via the Stinger Monster Truck Facebook: 

(I don't deliver fake news)

Rettew Motorsports now has 2 new PEI chassis.  One is for a completely new Stinger and another for his wife.  (??)

i can't wait to see everyone complain bout the lack of indies.  i think it's better for the indies,  the amount they will save on bodies could potentially lead to more money to spend on better parts and i think we could see more indie domination possibly.  (i'm not saying indies dont have the parts to run hard, im just saying they could possibly spend that pocket change on 'feld' parts.)  pls no attack im not an instagram kid.

Buddy Tompkins will not be returning to JR's team in 2018 per a post on his Instagram.

Everyone on Instagram is spazzing due to the comment TJ Tripp made saying "Pretty sure I had a post just like this over 4 years ago.  Don't worry he can't hold you back no more".  It may be sarcasm but all the instagram kids turned into Keemstar because of it.
