Topic:

There is some serious geek appeal in a remote control monster truck that has as much horse power as many people’s lawn mowers. Add in all that power with the eight shocks that give the truck 5” of suspension travel and you have a truck born to catch some serious air.

This truck can hit 45 MPH, not scale MPH like the cars you see in Wal-Mart but real MPH as in this thing could get a speeding ticket in most residential neighborhoods. Going that fast you will need some brakes to slow it down before you give your 80 year old neighbor a heart attack, and you can do it with the 4-wheel disk brakes on the truck. Read more
