I've noticed a lot of tracks being released lately that have no *.bin file extension on the model file names. This can cause problems on some computers but is an easy fix. Before you begin a new track, just uncheck the "hide file extensions for known file types" checkbox in Windows Explorer Folder Options. Alternately, you can use Traxx version 1.5 which is available from Malibu350's Garage.

Well, we're at that time again when we pause to reflect on the year gone by, spend time with family and friends, and look forward to what Santa might leave under the Christmas tree.

For myself, personally, the year has been a busy one in which I found it hard just to keep up with things and in at least one case learned I was completely out of the loop... so I'd like to make up for lost time and update you all on a Monster Truck gig we should have heard about long ago.

The two links below take you to pictures of what has to be the coolest gig anybody could hope to do. During these two monster truck shows, our very own MOD_BC and his band played live on stage. Not only that but the band provided the music for the freestyle part of the show in which the drivers of Brutus, Lil Miss Dangerous, Avenger, Sudden Impact, T-Maxx and more rocked out to their music and did their freestyle in time to the band's beat. And the stage was so close to the driving field that dirt and dust from the trucks kicked up on the stage while the band performed... making MOD_BC a truly monster truckin' rock star. Way to go BC and thanks for sharing some great pictures with us!

To all mtmers, please have a very merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday.
