Patriotic Canadian Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have a feeling there is gonna be some pretty big upsets this SM racing season... >anyone with a CRD will shred everyone at racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlawed Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 you will have to ask Eric as he was the one that did the suspension updates Matt. as for CRD/Cohen trucks "shredding" racing, staff have hosted a few V4 beta fun runs and not every outcome was expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timburks73 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 whats a easy way to tell which chasis is which? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlawed Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 oh god I could go into massive detail over that very question haha top is a standard Patrick Enterprise chassis (the one pictured is a second iteration with cleaner swooping shock hoops) vs the Carrol Racing Development (CRD) chassis this next one is a Racesource chassis (Pablo huffaker makes em) \ Concussion chassis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timburks73 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 thanks man, i always wondered the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlawed Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 well there are variations as well, second generation PEI (low center of gravity), its basically the same as the PEI posted above, but the cradle allows the engine and drivetrain to sit lower. Cohens are what the CRD's are based off of, Tim Carroll (of Carroll Racing Development) went to the digger dugeon and actually took measurements off of Adam Andersons chassis (which was Taz at that time). Cohen's (or inhouse chassis's) started with Dennis's digger 19/20 Then Adam's truck was made but there is a second generation of Cohens, Son Uva Digger, Grave Digger 25 (Gary Porters new one) and Monster Energy SUD/GD25 Monster Energy But then there is a interesting itteration that is a mutant, when Alex Blackwell stuffed Captains Curse into the stands at WF10 it was rebuilt, it started as first generation PEI with a Race Source Cab area (this was to fit the willy's body). When it was rebuilt it was built with some Cohen specing, mostly the shock towers cab to shock tower bracing and cradle bracing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timburks73 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 man outlaw thats some great info on chassis design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriotic Canadian Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Through top gear logic, captains curse should be the best thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlawed Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 man outlaw thats some great info on chassis design well its kind of my nerd love so I try to be as informed as possible haha as for curse, as far as I know, the chassis is kind of semi retired, Paul Cohen actually put a bolt in halo to run as a fill in digger for a small arena show (I want to say in kentucky) and Pablo used it at WF 13 because its the only chassis that will fit the body (apparently his son Ryan's racesource chassised El Toro Loco wont fit it anymore) and since Alex Blackwell has a new Cohen for Wolverine, also that the Curse name might fade, the chassis might not run this year. I am hoping that isnt the case but we will have to see... on a top hear related note I would love to see a FELD truck run a lap on the test track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriotic Canadian Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 "RYAN ANDERSON COMING THROUGH THE BACK STRETCH.... STILL COMING THROUGH THE BACK STRETCH... AND HE'S BLOWN HIS ENGINE..." however, top gear doing proper monster trucks, and not poor blown thunder, would be the most fantastic thing the world will ever have witnessed. Jeremy declared bigfoot his "All time favorite clarkson vehicle" in 1995. So imagine what a new truck would do for him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got just one of the guys or just Jeremy and Hamster to do it, then it probably would work. All 3? Doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
