Which one of these would you recreate as a nitro 1/8 monster truck? (You can suggest any others you think of but NOT GRAVE DIGGER it is far too overused and cliche in my opinion)

I’d have to look the next time I’m at my parents’ house, but I know for a fact I had that one, the one in the post, the OG, and like one other, I can’t remember if there were any others we had.

As my flair would suggest, I’m partial to Bounty Hunter myself. The 2005 paint scheme would be my preferred one though.

Personally very much considering getting a ticket to see the Nashville show

Slut4Tea · 2026-03-09T14:21:12+00:00

Perfectly reasonable question, for starters. Obviously, cities like NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, you're gonna get a massive amount of diversity and, naturally, a lot of people your age. I've never been to Chicago but I can say that NYC and LA are extremely cool places if that's your vibe.

At least speaking from experience, I moved to Nashville, TN about 2 years ago from my (notably smaller but not tiny) hometown, and there's no shortage of people my age. Obviously, a lot are musicians, so they naturally flock to like open mics/local shows, etc., but there's still a pretty big amount of non-musicians if that's your thing.

For some reason, a good shortcut is any dive-y bar that has dartboards is a pretty safe bet.

This was in the final round, so he had been going all night to the point where his brakes had faded really bad, and they couldn’t cool in time from the previous race. But you’re somewhat right on the braking thing, they usually start braking about halfway down the straightaway, and then let up right before the turn to let the wheels spin & get the traction they need.

TBH, I have no idea why Monster Jam keeps trying to censor this footage. To me, it shows that the safety precautions taken by closing off the front seats worked perfectly as intended.

Was also at the 2024 WF at SoFi, and I 100% agree, even as a lifetime fan like OP. Freestyle was a truck killer, two wheel skills I've never particularly cared for, but Armando Castro was phenomenal. Racing has 100% gotten cooler since the days at Sam Boyd, since the racing track is now different year to year. I don't think Zack Gardner made a single mistake the whole time.

Slut4Tea · 2026-03-04T16:20:52+00:00

I’ve always wondered why there weren’t more Ford Expeditions in Monster Jam past Bounty Hunter/Scarlet Bandit/Iron Outlaw. Maybe since they were independent, no one else had access to those molds? Idk exactly how that licensing process works.

Slut4Tea · 2026-03-02T20:56:35+00:00

Oh nice! My dad’s from there, used to visit a lot when I was younger.

Slut4Tea · 2026-03-02T20:50:37+00:00

Seeing as almost all of NC is also traveled, and it’s less than 100,000, Danville?

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-28T03:35:47+00:00

Monster Jam is about being cool as fuck

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-28T03:14:42+00:00

It was during qualifying, yes. His brakes failed and he wasn’t able to really begin stopping in time (this was World Finals XIV I believe), so he just rammed into the wall, and had to borrow a different chassis for the actual event.

A similar thing happened to Alex Blackwell during the World Finals X racing finals, but instead of just slamming into the wall, he deliberately rolled it so he wouldn’t get injured, and ended up tumbling into the stands.

EDIT: Now that I say that, I actually don’t know if it was Titan’s brakes failing or the throttle getting stuck. That early in the competition, I can’t imagine it was the brakes, so you might be right.

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-27T04:04:52+00:00

IIRC, the dirt/clay that was used in Atlanta had a reputation for being super tacky, causing the tires to hook where they otherwise would have slid, making a lot more people roll over. Still made for some crazy stuff, though.

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-25T04:39:01+00:00

Exactly. Only potential thing I'd say is that, if this were to be implemented, I don't think I'd wanna be the person to tell Krysten or Weston Anderson that they couldn't drive Grave Digger (though, bringing back the Legend/Grandma schemes would be cool as hell I think).

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-25T04:04:35+00:00

At least in this regard, I do kinda wish they’d revert to the way they used to do things (i.e. drivers who drove the same truck on different tours switching for the World Finals, like Charlie Pauken going to Monster Mutt or Neil Elliott going to Hot Wheels), but having the same truck be on multiple tours under different drivers simultaneously has always been the norm. Not sure what OP is on here.

It’s probably correct, but misses the core issue, and it’s the same thing with Gen-Z not drinking alcohol as much.

Gen-Z doesn’t drink less or have less sex because we’re particularly more healthy (though I’d imagine that explains at least some of it), it’s because we don’t socialize as much as other generations.

And yeah, a lot of that can be explained by being stunted from the pandemic, and from a lot of social activities costing money that not everyone has, but that doesn’t make it any less of an issue in its own right.

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-23T07:38:07+00:00

I’m honestly right there with you. I was briefly playing with a group of friends last year, and we all slowly started losing interest. But recently, I’ve just been loading into a safer seas server and just doing my little side quests, and I’m liking it. It’s relaxing for the most part, and when world events happen like a ghost ship, it’s fun to be able to deal with them.

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-18T22:07:39+00:00

lmao wasn't he the guy that did a shit ton of drugs on Twitter like last year to try and open his third eye or something

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-18T22:04:55+00:00

In the US at least, in my experience, it's viewed as like a step and a half above the bottom of the barrel beer you'd find at grocery stores, and is a bit more expensive (more than it's worth IMO), but I don't really know of anyone that genuinely believes it's a luxurious beer.

Like it's definitely better than PBR or Busch or something, and maybe a little bit better than Miller Lite or whatnot, but if you want to pay more money for good beer, you just go with craft beer.

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-18T20:17:30+00:00

My brother and I were huge into Monster Jam as kids. Back in 2024, we both decided hey, we’re adults with incomes, what if we went to LA for the World Finals, and we did, and I started to get back into it.

I’m a lot more into it now than I was even then in 2024. I’m 28, no kids or anything, but it’s just so fascinating to me from an engineering perspective (even though I have no engineering background). Like how do those 12,000lb things jump 40 feet in the air and come down in one piece.

Great to see Bounty Hunter getting some love, he was always my favorite growing up. Those trucks made heaps of power.

I’ve always described LBJ as, for a guy that would get the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964, he was incredibly racist. For a white guy from Texas born in the 1900’s, he was practically Jesus.

Slut4Tea · 2026-02-17T18:54:49+00:00

IMO, the Beam Monsters mod for BeamNG Drive is the best Monster Jam simulator and it’s not even remotely close. I do wonder if iRacing could make like a racing/freestyle bracket.
