They are used for competition and popular Sports Entertainment and in some cases they are featured alongside Motocross races, mud bogging, tractor pulls and car-eating robots.
Race field could be a nice thing to add.

Good luck to all, and have fun!!!

ReplyDelete(cloudedzero)
I wish I could do this challenge this time, but I still have paid work to do. Unfortunately the website I'm designing doesn't require a model of Gravedigger or Carolina Crusher...
ReplyDelete@Trojan
ReplyDeleteYou can't enter model made by other users, even if they have a lower filesize.
Please remove them from challenge

For Regis's model, it seems the wheels are to small to be a monster truck, we need another definition for monster trucks like a ratio of wheel diameter to truck height-length. Otherwise i can upload a full size car with wheels the size of a pea.
ReplyDeletemr.jumpman v.2
@all the definiton of a monster truck
ReplyDeleteHooligan
that is all (I am Zorbo)
Hi
ReplyDelete@ mr.jumpman.v2
It's not really a car scaled up to get big wheels.
The rear wheel is about 1,80 meter.
I just have minor improvements to had to get the right proportion.
Well, my pick up don't really have the same feeling with monster trucks but I like the idea to model a tuned monster pick up.
By the way I can go with another try and model a real monster truck but I'm not sure heving enough time to start another model.
@ REGIS
ReplyDeleteYou have one more week.
@ very cloudedZero: Where do you see boxey suspension? The shocks are cylindrical. Have you tried using the bottom part of your spectacles? before placing a sketchup comment?
ReplyDeleteCylindrical: rouuuuuund.
Boxey: squuuuuuuuuare.
@cloudedZero
ReplyDeleteAnd besides its a model. Not a Space Shuttle being scrutinized by Nasa for mudding on Jupiter...
@ francis_nyc
ReplyDeleteBe careful, you may set him off.
Then; the screaming and crying begins.
@anonomys
ReplyDeleteI like FrancisNYC's model, I just said it is a little boxy.
(I Am Zorbo)
Is it just me or did some one mix up the challenges for 61 and 60?
ReplyDeleteit says there are winners for the 61 challenge.
@cloudedzero: thanks for changing your comment. The newer version is posted with special thankx mentioned to you. I've taken all of your previous comments, put them together, I'm no expert like cloudedzero, but trying. This version is a fairly large download. But I think worth it now. See you in the 3d Challenge 062 Voting, winners circle.
ReplyDeletePS: CloudedZero: You've made a friend through this Challenge. Hard to explain it all here. I'll go to bat for you anytime. Thnx.
PS2: Thanks to all who posted on Francine... Numero Uno.

Something just doesn't seem right about this. It appears that Jansen has won a second 3rd place award for: 'Mobil Station' in this 3D Challenge 061, having already been given the same award in 3D Challenge 060.
ReplyDeletePrevious challenge 3rd place.
ReplyDeleteSorry guy it's my fault. Link was right but name was wrong.
3rd place assigned to Cloudedzero

ReplyDeletemr.jumpmanv.2...
@mr.jumpmanv.2
ReplyDeleteThanks, actually thanks to all who commented on my model.
I think I made the winner this time around
This is my best model I have ever made and most detailed
@Cosedemarco challenge Idea Cannon
(cloudedzero)
@cloudedzero
ReplyDeleteI think your model is the best. I only see one issue. Not all of the linkages have universal joints on their ends. The orange ones are just sitting in those slots on top the front and rear differentials. Just a minor detail. I still give 7 Stars!
Clouded Zero---
ReplyDeletei think that the model texture needs to be projected, and maybe a different color cause black doesnt go with alot of green, try like silver,black and sage maybe ( ultimatly its your choice )
mr.jumpman v.2
@jedicharles and mr.jumpman
ReplyDeleteI put new skin on my model and finished up all of the joints
let me know what you think
(cloudedzero)
Clouded Zero---
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect now.
Sorry for bothering you agian, but i think that the wheelz should actualy have color in them to. You dont have to, but i'm just saying that to give some tips, but i'll stop now.
mr.jumpman v.2
@cloudedZero
ReplyDeleteI follow you blog
@df andy
ReplyDeleteI follow yours
@mr.jumpman
done
just give me a minute to upload
Ok,
ReplyDeleteThis is my best model to, just like you.
Nice compitition i think. :p
@df Andy
ReplyDeleteOne of will be victorious and the other will be second either way I think your model and my model are the best
may the best man win
Clouded Zero & DF_Andy---
ReplyDeleteYea Yea just wait for me...ill be first! you shall see!
