How Monster Trucks are Transported
 
I had no idea this is how it is done. Pretty awesome how they get the tires on!

^ Monster trucks are kind of cool especially the way they make money. More like how musicians get paid than racers. I have a client who's business is campaigning a couple trucks and making parts for others. Full fab shop + powdercoating + several CNC machines to produce parts.

Tires in front of the fab shop, notice the name on the little toy truck.

That’s the truck Camden Murphy drives. Cool.

Camden is a local nascar truck driver (part time?) and comes out to local go-kart events. I’ve raced against him several times.

The drivetrain on these trucks is drool worthy. And don't get me started on the suspension, wow. The thought of someone being able to flip these things in the air is insane.

Everything is built from billet. Seats engineered to not only keep the driver in place but to cushion the forces from flips and jumps.

Jump to 48 seconds, 1st forward flip!
