I know this vlog is 2yrs old at this point but guys like Nick Nelson are extremely impressive to me, to be able to build and drive vehicles like that is no F_ing joke and it's badass!
Man.. Nick and the team you guys did a fantastic job this is what I call a work of art. You guys took a sketch, talked it all over, figured finances, got the parts, used your guys amazing skill to fabricate and build this monster into a realty man and got to drive it. That's amazing I'm truly blown away. Great job & god bless 👍 And to the future owner in Saudi Arabia me and thousands off ppl are jelly 😂 You are getting a sick ass truck Lol
@@AutotopiaLA You have the coolest job you do mate. Some of them cars you deal with are amazing. I couldn't imagine driving them around Nottingham UK they are beasts
This truck is pure engineering/ingenuity badass. Insane build. Never knew what actually went into these things to make them what they are. This is looks and sounds like adrenaline on wheels. Awesome content as always.
This is amazing! This handles like my Losi SBR 2.0! Up until now I had no idea that the Losi SBR 2.0, Traxxas UDR and Arrma Mojave were based on real trucks. I'm shocked.
Check out Dust to Glory, it's a documentary about the 2004 Baja 1000, and it's incredible. One of the guys in it Iron Man's the whole race on a dirt bike.
@@AutotopiaLA the way they seem so top heavy and tilt so far on their suspension on tarmac and also soak up the bumps with no rebound really amazes me. I used to be more of a fan of the Australian V8 Supercars but saw a video of stadium super trucks on RUclips and their crazy jumps and have become a fan of this type of racing.
Hahaaa. Your face was great. I love that more people are finding out about the Dezert and the talented people who love to Race in it. Keep it up with this great content brother and come out to Barstow Laughlin or Baja to check out a race. Off-road people are the largest, tightest family you’ll never want to leave and (you get to pic)!
It is a beast and totally wicked. Shawn the look on your face said I should have thought about this ride a little more or sh#t stop I want to get out, like man here we go and I shouldn't have😂. Scared and I need new clothes cause we went and now I'm soiled😂. That truck is radical. I hope who ever gets it can drive really well cause it looks like it will rollover. They want care they'll just fix it and keep playing in that big old sand box.👍😎
1.8 miles/ gallon of 110 VP Race fuel at ....$15/gallon..a 54 gallon drum is $650..do the math..at 500 or 1000 miles...plus pre running, fuel, the 100K Patton Motor.. and you HAVE to have an extra or 2 or 3 or 4(Herbst) my old shop (FoutzFMI) we had a 7 Open(Derrick) that had an 80K V6 Roush Motor on top of the Pattons.as they bought Herbsts first Trophy Truck and semi..you have to have crazy money
ok, ive watched alot of your videos, always the sickest of vehicles, you come up in my suggested all the time, but this truck is so sick im a subscribing now.
Shawn: *you may want to have your hands close to the volume when Nick fires this thing up, because it's loud* Me: *HELL NAH BRUH, I WANNA HEAR THAT LS SCREAM!!!*
He's showing a stadium truck whilst talking about trophy truck speeds, (140). Those princes will just twin turbo it and make it faster up a sand dune than when you gave it to them.
That truck is amazing. I think it's just what you need if you live in the city for the pot holes, lol. But not to be a wise guy, but what you have to remember that the guy with his muscle car getting 8s mpg isn't beating on it for 200 miles straight. If he wore it would be a lot worse. As for the trophy truck 1.8 is not even all that bad I was expecting worse.
I have a video of BJ BALDWIN throwing donuts around my old and sold ‘87 4 runner.. I emailed him with video and he was thankful as was I !! These trucks sound awesome but handle the whoops at 100 plus... great content again!!
Just wondering y’all think if you put slick’s on it would it stand on two ? Always wondered that you see them with paddles at the dunes digging in on two
Dude that looked like a near death experience by you're facial expression. I'm sure I would have been worse. Insane!!! Currently binging on your videos. Soon to be OD'd on them.😎

Crazy awesome truck!
It handles and does three wheeling and donuts like my 4WD RC truck.
Yeah, this thing is such a monster and Nick can drive it!
"114 gallon fuel tank"
..."we can do 200 miles between fuel stops"
God bless America!!!
At $15 per gallon for c12, that's about $1800 a tank.

@@brianmorrison9066 probably that's the reason they are selling it in Gulf. the next owner have his own oil well...
@@brianmorrison9066 bitch aint on no c12. its probably just 98
perfect the saudi's have all the oil/gas

Rich little fuck aint got nothing.
A floppy long travel car is easy as fuck to drive.
I just wanna know what its like to run one before i die lol

Thanks and yeah, Nick built an incredible truck and love his driving skills
Trophy Trucks, F1,Jets,and Rockets Make The world go round XD
😂 hilarious comment!

When people ask me what I'd do with my money when I win the lotto...
Me: **sends link to this video**
This things insane!!! Man seeing Nick handle this thing in the desert and the speed he’s going, I take my hat off to him he’s got massive bulls😂👍
He’s a badass! Built it then drives it like that? Awesome!!
😮 wow!!!! Super cool, iron man Ivan Stewart was my favorite to watch , when Baja truck racing was at its peak
Yea Iron Ivan. Baja and Dakar rally, true dirt fest😷😎
Yeah, this is such a killer truck
Check out Dust to Glory, it's a documentary about the 2004 Baja 1000, and it's incredible. One of the guys in it Iron Man's the whole race on a dirt bike.
Who I grew up watching.
I’d love it as my daily 😂🤣 incredible
Completely insane amounts of fun
My kid goes to a very elite private school in Miami. I would love nothing more than to drop her off at the front door in this thing. 😜😜😜
Ford guy here. Thats a bad ass truck man.
This is a very beautiful truck . With that 114 gallon I could go 4000 mile on my 2.8 Colorado diesel
What a joy to drive such machine!
Just awesome and thx for posting it!
This was such a fun shoot. Wasn’t expecting the ride I got. Wow!
114 gallons of fuel, 200 miles between stops. Think about that for a second LOL
Look on the bright side, it gets 3x better fuel economy than an M1A2 Abrams.
This channel is quickly becoming my favorite.
Thank you! We’ll keep trying
Paint it gold - sell it for double the money to the Saudies.
😂 hilarious!
Don't forget the rhinestones. 🤣
Hahaha 🤣🤣👑👍🏻
This thing needs to be mass produced!! For sure you wouldn’t need the fwy to get to west L.A from the Valley. Just make your own road.😁
Or just run over Prius’ all day long😂😂
AutotopiaLA LOL👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks youtube.
Thank you for your time and sharing.
Im a new suscriptor.
trophy trucks have evolved in the past year
These things seem to almost defy the rules of physics.
They are incredible! Would love to go out in the dirt with him driving and experience that!

DUZZZOPE!! Was wondering when someone would do this. Thing is sick!
Fulltime hella awesome fun for sure brother tyvm for sharing.
So much fun!! Thought we were gonna roll but it was in control all the time. Awesome ride!
now this is the type of content i want
We try
I’m sure the neighbors appreciated the little romp in the neighborhood!🙀🙀🙀
Of course they did!! Can’t even explain how loud this monster is

I need to make it out for some off road action. Lots of my friends race and always invite me. I’d love to go for a ride in this truck in the dirt!
I have got to say,that thing roles out,one of my favorite videos you made thanks
This is the truck to have when the zombies come, minus windows.
Yes!
Yeah to run out of fuel at the end of the driveway lmao
@@lunamaria1048 😂
How would you see?
And except for crappy mpg
Duuuuuude that truck is a beast
This is rad. thanks for posting it..
the best class cars on the planet! suspension travel is just awesome! America is the best!
This thing is such a killer machine!
Should go back to SMP and see what hes building now AutotopiaLA - more desert trucks !
I was just there yesterday and he’s got some crazy stuff in the works. We’ll go over and shoot again sometime I promise

It was such an intense ride!! Loved it and yeah, thought we were rolling for sure 😂
My eardrums bled from the intro of the video. ...it was worth it.
Bad ass rig!
Total badass and Nick can build & drive which is a rare combo imo
Wow! Just wow!
Too much fun with this guy and this truck!
That thing moves exactly like my traxxas slash 4x4 rc car. .👍
Ha this thing handles exactly like the Traxxas UDR
weird flex
from walmart
I would love to see this truck at the baja races!
Me too!!
Yes, INSANE! BadAss!!

That’s why he hasn’t had much opportunity to race it as he’s had very little sponsor help. Too bad cause it’s a mean truck and he can drive it
My favorite type of truck! I am into r/c cars and often go with short-course trucks. 😎👍
This thing is completely insane and I love it!
This new Traxxas UDR is way too big
That thing is a beast! Thanks
Yes it is and I had a blast of a ride in it!
1.8 mpg.. totally worth it.
If I ever win a mega lottery this will be in my top three purchases
Trophy trucks, flip flops and board shorts!
Yeah, he’s a true badass!
Awesome Nick, only just seen this vid. You have come a long way champion & I hope we can catchup some day.
Brooksy 🤙
That thing is badass
Completely badass
Well,....NOW i know what i want for Christmas!
Baja 1000 !!! 🇲🇽
King of Hammers soon
Wow, insane truck, I always wanted one, ,
The truck is dope!!!!!!!!!
1.8 MPG??? I couldnt afford to drive this thing to work...
You running 120-140mph to work!?!
Robenson Dabeck Hell no. Thats my speed FROM work!!
God demn, that's next level!
Sure is
ok, ive watched alot of your videos, always the sickest of vehicles, you come up in my suggested all the time, but this truck is so sick im a subscribing now.
Thanks for the sub and yes...this thing is an incredible thrill ride from the moment it fires up. Had a blast shooting this one!!
😱😱😱👍👍👍💪💪💪🖐
Очень серьёзный аппарат, мастерам отлично 👌.

Agreed. And one hell of a ride!
SICK AF!!!!

Killer truck! Badass driver

Seriously beast mode engaged
He's showing a stadium truck whilst talking about trophy truck speeds, (140). Those princes will just twin turbo it and make it faster up a sand dune than when you gave it to them.
Unfortunately it didn’t sell so I’m curious to see what happens next with this beast
The video launch is just hilarious 😂😂😂
Yeah, scared the hell out of me as Nick’s just chillin’ and driving
That truck is amazing. I think it's just what you need if you live in the city for the pot holes, lol.
But not to be a wise guy, but what you have to remember that the guy with his muscle car getting 8s mpg isn't beating on it for 200 miles straight. If he wore it would be a lot worse. As for the trophy truck 1.8 is not even all that bad I was expecting worse.
I had no idea they only get 1.8 but who cares? They’re built for something other than fuel economy...fun!!
@@AutotopiaLA neither did i till the guy in your video said so. Im not surprised its that low. I can only imagine the yearly fuel bill, lol.
But surely a Range Rover is better off road 😂😂😂
OMG the noise ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
LR RR can not beat a custom built from the ground TT!!
Jack Mehoffen you do realise I was being sarcastic right?
😂😂 hilarious!
I have a video of BJ BALDWIN throwing donuts around my old and sold ‘87 4 runner.. I emailed him with video and he was thankful as was I !! These trucks sound awesome but handle the whoops at 100 plus... great content again!!
Thanks and yeah, this was an incredible shoot. I’d love to see the video with BJ
Ok!!! We will figure this out!!
Wow wow wow
Yep...said that a lot!
Just wondering y’all think if you put slick’s on it would it stand on two ? Always wondered that you see them with paddles at the dunes digging in on two
Don’t know what would happen in dirt/sand with slicks? Might not even move
Spettacolare !!!...che potenza !!!
Dope truck
This would absolutely be my daily
Great video, hope you make more just like it. 👍
will that exhaust over-heat the triple bypass system? i thought they need triple bypass system to get better cooling no?
No idea. That’s a question for Nick
wow. so good ser.
LS power, Ford bois!
Buckin like a damn bull son!
Seriously!
10:26 that Alfa Romeo, I want it so bad
I would absolutely daily this. GOD
this dude is ripping it in SANDALS 😂
10:18
He’s a pretty chill guy that’s for sure and can drive!
I watched nick out at primm. Dude is a fucking monster behind the wheel. Kicking trophy truck ass in a 4400.
Dude that looked like a near death experience by you're facial expression. I'm sure I would have been worse. Insane!!! Currently binging on your videos. Soon to be
OD'd on them.😎
Great, just Great!!!
Redefining tough..
Agreed
Cool!
Oh yeah, very cool
You are one lucky man!!
I know!
Some rich kid in Saudi Arabia is going to be getting his robe caught on fire trying to get in and out of that fucking thing😂
Hilarious!! 😂
Must be so much fun🔥 brutal Maschine 💪💪
What a job to have
Love it! This ride was insanity
My ideal two car garage would be a trophy truck and a 68 Charger
1.8..MPG..sweet, what's not to like. i love it...i want one!!!!!!!! mad power!!!!!
Monster power and a total thrill ride!
@@AutotopiaLA Without a shadow of a doubt!!!!!!!!!!
That's only 8.5 mpg worse than my bone stock 2010 Tundra with 35s
Who needs six flags magic mountain rides when you can be inside this 😂😂💪💪
Ale dopracowana maszyna z naszych marzeń ... pozdrawiam z Polski.
Would love to see the build process
Me too that’s why we had Nick give us his description of the build in such detail
Come to la salada mexicali Baja California to a real test!
Amazing. Thanks!
It really is a beast and a hell of a ride
And the motorcycles still kick their butts.
We show you this and this is what you have to say? 🤷🏼♂️
@@AutotopiaLA Gotta get in race mode. Baja 1000 coming up.
