Incredible beautiful, and incredible unreliable, monster trucks! Bigfoot was an exception, ruling the sport since the beginning. Nice tanks and pullers too. Thanks for sharing this stuff.
How many "reliable" monster trucks did you build?
@@user-uj3zk2cx8t I didn't say unreliable with bad intentions, I meant that the old monsters usually had mechanical problems, and sometimes they couldn't finish the race (the sport were just developing); over time they became more reliable, but they were always cool. Mind your own stuff, loser.
The quality of this is amazing! Not to mention the bonus features!
I didn't even know that first couple runs existed. I also didn't know footage existed of the second paint job of the Toy. Thank you for posting this.
The Toy is one of my favorite retro monster trucks. I loved the theming and the wind up crank moves
Neat stuff! Some “fast” racing with early/uncommon trucks is fun to see.

Now you can't even sit in the first 30 rows

25:48
That’s all the horsepower The Toy got? 24:46 He without question should’ve turned the wind up crank a little bit more
He had plenty of power, the issue was, he tore the driveshaft out of the yoke
In fact, the Toy actually had so much power for his gearing, when he came off the line, he pulled the front wheels off the ground
I remember the van. Barbarian had no problem going over the cars & it was going against U.S.A 1..??!!..blocking u.s.a 1.path to finish line..??!!
Tracked trucks should make a comeback
When i saw the word RARE i was thinking that i would see the Silver Bullet turbine monster truck i haven't seen a video of that truck crushing cars :(
There's video on RUclips of the Silver Bullet in action. And why would you think the Silver Bullet was in this video? Because it wasn't present at Anahiem 1988.
32:53 made the track Official run away... to bad no GoPro he had the best veiw LOL again @ 35:35
Dangerous job for sure.
And the Barbarian owner thought it would be a good idea to try and run a car crush track on only small 48" tires WHY?....
There was a whole race series for the 48 inch tire trucks back then.
@@shawnc1016 I never saw any of them. Wouldn't it be common sense that trying to clear a line of big old '70s cars approaching from the side with only 48" tires wouldn't go well?
@@shawnc1016 What other trucks competed in this "48 inch tire series"?
@@MisterGravelrama Black Stallion Jr, Bigfoot Ranger, OverExcited, Mistreated, Satisfaction, Burning Desire, etc. They had a 48 inch tire competition at the 1988 Indianapolis Jamboree.
That was a cool event, especially when Ken sent the Ranger & everyone thought he was a goner. While many, including myself, enjoyed seeing those trucks occasionally attend events, this was frequently as a side attraction or often unsuccessfully trying to compete with the 66 & 70s. It is a far stretch to claim there was a "whole race series for the 48 inch tire trucks". I don't think Red Man or Penda representatives were lining up to hypothetically sponsor a racing series for those guys. Sam Marino put forth the biggest effort to make this a reality for guys on a budget in '97, but that didn't pan out either. You could open up a debate with todays mega trucks though. @@user-uj3zk2cx8t
The announcers are so bad!!
Mike Gallaway was always over the top verbose and never knew when to shut up. His most common description of pretty much every monster truck driver ever was "He's tough! He's REAL tough!" When he couldn't think of anything else to say that was his go-to
@@jamesnoble8205 I guess you could have done a better job?
