You win.

That's all there is to it man, you win. That is the MEANEST, sweetest, lookin MT I've seen to date.

Absolutely AWESOME job ynad!

That IS awesome!! Is that custom work?

I have a question that was probably mentioned somewhere but I cant seem to find it. What would be the ideal gears/motor for monster trucking. I mean decent speed but enough torque to climb over a few things and climb up the side of the couch. :)

Thanks guys.

You know....i don't think i would have ever said I would like to see an eclipse on a monster truck chassis....but that looks pretty damn cool. Nicey , nice.

RNF....go with either the red or yellow. The yellow seems to be capable of climbing over most things I throw at it, while still being pretty quick.

Namuna and everyone, thank you .
yes it is a customized body
lowered as low as it can go
cut drivers and back windows
6 parts from other toys
49' mercury front grill
roll cage
nascar in car safty cage
dubs sirens
matchbox blower
modifiers civics mufler
and i'm using green gears and meanest motor
btw matchbox cars are in scale and usualy a buck each.
good for parts(blowers muflers etc.), use them to make arena look for MT performance

that is the coolest custom MT i have seen yet! to quote namuna: you win!

[RNF1968]

I must say it again - AWESOME!

I was thinking about getting some cheap Matchbox cars and crushing them in a vice and use them to do monster truck races. :)

Yeah, thats right, I have nothing better to do!! :)

[isk8blind]

[ynad]

thank you for comments
look at rear tires, reverse for better grip
works best for rear tirres only

Yeah, but then they'll get clogged up, as the self-cleaning tread won't displace the mud then ROTFL! -:)

Seriously 'tho, that thing looks AWESOME! Great job! :thumbsup: -:)

[MattPaintballer]

Complete and utter awesomeness! If that was entered in a contest for the best looking MT (or should it be called an MC now?) that would definetly get my vote!

As for the reversing rear tires... I don't know how the self-cleaning thing works, but maybe if you drove it backwards for a while wouldn't that clean the rear tires? But then it would clog up the front tires :).

now, this is the original body for MT
and result of imagination.

in focus

i call this one "Green Dog"

That was a great idea for that monster truck body. I have been debating on what car body to modify to put on these truck chassis. I think that these trucks are coolest think out there right now, so I had to build a monster truck layout for them. Here’s a link to some more pictures
