2008 Wichita Kansas Thunder Nationals

By: Dave "The Smasher" Collard


The first replica for me in 2008 comes in a brand new venue. This is the first time Wichita's Britt Brown Arena has ever been replicated for MTM2. Inside you will find emaculate detail on a ground based arena. I chose to use the "terrain base" stadium due to the simplicty behind the Britt Brown Arena and to reduce any lag that may occur. Look for arena signs, rafters with included lighting, replicated jumbo tron, and authentic crowd noise.

The track features some of the new for 2008 Monster Jam banners, built by some of the best in the game today along with a few I've made. On the floor you'll find a total original texture replication of how the cement floor looked inside once the Monsters got done the night before. Also on this track you'll find authentic model ramps that pitch and angle the trucks just like you would at a real Thunder Nationals show! Be sure to keep an eye to the car models as the event progresses on to see how much they were crushed down. 

Upon researching the event I noticed there was no pit area outside of the arena during the show. The trucks all parked down by the far side by the tunnel during the event. For realism purposes I did not include the pit area because of this. On the Chicago Style racing track or in freestyle it could get very close on the far end be sure not to hit your fellow competitors!

The entire venue, with added specialty items took roughly 14 hours to build and tweak. It's by far my favorite Thunder Nationals Event I've ever had the pleasure to make. I hope you all enjoy it!
