Monster Truck?

Not heard anything about the Monster Truck in quite a while. There were the videos of test runs, and looked like just needed to hang a body on the thing.
If it was that close to being done, I can't imagine it taking much more to get the big truck track ready and do a competition or show with it.
Any updates on that project???

I believe it's just a piece of equipment setting in the shop.The CUP season is still going,The BAJA 1000 is not that far off.And the start of DAKAR is 90 days away, equipment needs to be shipped in 45-50 days.I'd say the project is dead currently.IMO

After DAKAR vehicles ship out someone needs to put a body on that thing and some paint. Dodge had a Monster Truck as part of their static display down here at Daytona. Get them to pay for a bit of metal and paint if RGM is sticking with Dodge.
Just need those boys in Marketing to get someone to pick up the tab for the finished product!
If you notice the Raminator (Dodge funded) doesn't go to many Nascar type events. They need exposure on the Nascar circuit. Sell the plan boys!!!

Hang a Speed Energy body on it and take it to promotional events for display.

A Speed Energy Body is fiberglass with Speed stickers on it. Guess I could of said Dodge or Chevy ect... but with Robby Changing Manufactures like underwear I didn't want to be stir anything up.

When Corporations sponsor racing they like to draw foot traffic for their investment. This could be parking the 20 car in front of Home Depot or even when Robby parks his Dakar truck in front of a Mexico Walmart. You have a monster truck in the garage that would cost very little to throw some Fiberglass on. Use it and park it and a convience store you may have just stocked with Speed Energy and get some foot traffic for your product. Sorry you think this would be a waste of time but the resources are thier and rednecks like Monstor Trucks and Energy Drinks!

Way cheaper then sponsoring a race with 13 entries that gets cancelled. Love to go on more Mike, but gotta get ready for Parker next weekened.

Kevin great idea, but....Not many extra people at the shop right now to throw a nonexistent low cost body on the not yet finished monster truck chassis.

Thing is, the people PAY to have show vehicles.
