MonsterJam2008 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Ryan's winning run. It was cool to see how much control he has over the truck, but I wish the jumps were set up for drivers to air their trucks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Migues Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 When drivers do the music video for just the awards banquet they can get way crazier with it cuz its not meant to be seen by the fans like the one shown at the stadium lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Moskau Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Apparently, Monster Jam University uses retired and used chassis for rookie drivers. GD24-25 are apart of them with some PEI and CRD chassis in the mix of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockgod88 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Some trucks there have a seat off to the left rather then centered.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkelly Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Maybe Monster Jam had USA 1 at Minneapolis to sort of celebrate 25 years of MJ. They might have more old school trucks throughout the season if this is what they are shooting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, the Andersons did just 'restore' one of their oldest trucks. I think FELD is definitely going to start doing something with these oldies. And Im ok with it. Their making a lot of changes this year that I think are pretty good. An overall series is a bit intense in terms of the number of tours, but more drivers will get a more fair chance for Vegas. The removal of all of the secondary bodies is what it is; Monster Jam trucks only had one design per truck before 2013 and everything was fine. I don't like seeing all of the gun references being taken out, but I guess that might change over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some extent I agree with you, but I do disagree on some aspects. The different bodies provide a sense of individuality to that driver. At the world finals, the different bodies helped with driver identification (But I still think the flags did a good job of that). The different colored El Toro Loco and the Max-D bodies set those drivers apart from one another, and gave them kinda their own identity. This holds true with Dennis' chrome body compared to the rest of the Digger fleet. IMO, I kinda think if they're doing away with the secondary colored bodies, then there shouldn't be a MM Dalmatian or Rottweiler as even tho they're separate trucks, they still kinda in a way are a different paint job from the original Mutt. If a driver from a multi truck team qualifies for Vegas, slap a different body on their chassis, and let them run on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlawed Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 You are completely and entirely missing the point if that is what you think is the reason. Just stop and actually think about it. Why is it that there are multiple Digger's and Max-D's at Vegas? Could it be that the drivers of them happen to be the best in the business? Neil Elliot, Morgan Kane, Cole Venard, Coty Saucier, Coloton Eichelberger and to lesser extents Charlie Paukens would be riding the bench if we went back to the one digger, max-d at vegas per year. Why should they be forced into another truck with a different identity just to participate? That is not fair to the actual driver of that truck regardless if they do not deserve a spot at Vegas and if they do that usually means they have to use a different truck or drape a body that does not fit (drastically effecting sightlines from in the cab and trust me, that shit makes a big difference when you come roaring into Sam Boyd at 60+mph strapped in tight wearing a Hans device). I go to Vegas to see the best drivers perform at the best show of the year, I do not care about the name on the truck they drive, I want them to be 100% comfortable to do their thing and provide me with the maximum amount of entertainment. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
