Well...After trashing the Eat Dirt that was saposed to be for the NTNT 3rd season in USMJS...I am starting on a new one. This one I am aiming to make (or edit) some exsisting parts ect. I will keep you updated on this, but dont expect it to be done soon, I am taking my time.

-Paint job-
..For once..It wont be orange, purple and lime. Its gona be White and blue, maybe some other colors...youll see.

Shouldn't this be posted in the "truck making" room? I thought the beta room was for testing tracks/trucks that have already been built...

After day 1 and a half.

Found out the hard way, the body I was using, didn't wanna be a fiber glass one, so I went and hunted down another one. After reading the Bin Edit tutorial I was able to get back to where I was on the other body much faster. If I keep this up, I might just be behind Rep Fan and Dogge some day

Ah! before I forget, Like I said I will have a picture...Well I alawys live up to my word, here it is!

Nothing wrong with removing the tailgate. I've done it before, and it looks cool when done correctly:

Ta da. Now all it needs is a motor, some tires, and axles

Ahem...You know your truck might be a tad messed up when...

Your axel bars look like this...
But on a Side note it gives good air

My thoughts:

I like what I see so far. The body, frame, looks real good.

I don't know if you did it on purpose, but I see a passengers chair that wouldn't be there on a real truck. That seat also adds extra vertices. Bad if you want this truck used online.

Speaking of online: I think you should make a closed cab version of the truck. That way, you can have a high detail version, or low-lag online version.

The axle bars do look weird. Probably need some fixing in the trk file.

Other than that, I like it. The truck has a unique look. Looks real good.

Thanks hot shoe!

When I get the axle bars onto the frame (I am gona keep em crossed like that) Would you like to test it out?

Reason why I am gona keep the axle bars like that, Is it gives realy good air, Plus as a side benifit, it some times rolls the truck compleatly over (thinking of my performance in freestyle...This is a good Idea) so basicly like a 360 landing on the tires.

Another thing. Its great for pulling wheelies, plus it can accelerate right off a rear wheel stand if the landing is right.

I wont be able to work on it much today, But I will do what I can...when I get home.

Ciao for now.

An intresting finding...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/ ... esting.bmp

It seams my truck Is a bit Higher up when on hard suspension, and lower when on soft, its neat, thought you guys might just find this..."appealing"

Eat Dirt · **Posted:** Wed Nov 24, 2004 7:26 pm

The first problem of the truck. This happend in early facing ect stages. While working on the truck, cuting out the back, I got a very rude interuption...Some one decided to walk across my keybord and hit a whole bunch of butons...next thing I knew the part of the face was missing

The culprit is...

My cat trigger. So if you have any compliants about it...Blame him

ZOtm_BigDOGGe · **Posted:** Wed Nov 24, 2004 8:10 pm

Bad kitty! (tell him/her I said that)

If you can't fix the missing face, send me the model and I'll replace it for you. it's actually fairly easy to do. My address is in my profile.
