He can't be pushing that much torque to sheer off his lug nuts, can he?

Idk man. His driver front wheel came off the ground. Either he's got decent torque, or forgot to torque the lugs down after throwing on the slicks

theres a video of a gtr that sheared the lugs on the front wheel during a track time attempt.

my uncle races monstertrucks, he built and owed dragon slayer for a long time then he sold it and now drives one of the maximum destruction trucks. any way, its not that uncomon for them to shear bolts on their trucks due to power.

it looked like the camaro had all the cars weight on that one tire. the other rear tire was lifting off the ground too. prety bad ass vid.

DUDE! no way how do you know him? i never get to talk to him any more, he is in austrailia all the time. thats crazy. Used to ride in his truck before it was a hummer. back when it was a white ford with a green dragon on the side. small world man.

I actually saw one of his rear wheels come off during a race, it was insane. those trucks are seriously bad ass.

oh, bummer, i thought you were involved some how. once monster jam monopolized monster trucks i quit giving a crap. its owned by vince micman i think. its about destroying the trucks and not racing. they are still awesome. uncle kreg tried to fight against monster jam but in the end he had to sell. now he races for max destruction haha. how ironic.


end thread jack.
