Hill Climb and Coal Chute! - Top Truck Challenge 2014

[@marc.ambrose-brown]

That Father, great work Earl Middleton and James Middleton, what an awesome family team!

[@gokarter28]

This isn't what I generally follow, but good god this is bloody amazing, a crazy talent, and amazing machines! Mad respect!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

gokarter28 That's great to hear! Truck lover or not, it's pretty hard to deny how incredible and entertaining some of these events, rigs, and drivers are. Thanks for widening your automotive sphere and giving this a chance!

Man these challenges are brutal. Best thing about it is the challenges are totally even. Long wheel base trucks are great for Hill climbs & mud holes but the short base trucks are better with the rough stuff like rock crawling events. Definitely nice either way.

[@randombk82894]

I fall outta bed harder than that dude hit the rocks

[@ericheydenreich2846]

This is a great series of truck abuse and driver/codriver knowledge. Excited to see the next video as these have been excellent with a great host and camera crew. Thanks for sharing!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Eric Heydenreich Glad you're enjoying them, Eric. We always look forward to Top Truck Challenge and so does our crew.

[@MegaBigboost]

Like a butterfly and a needle in a science lab.....lmao

[@FryGuy65]

Love this stuff. Maybe add in a high speed section so the rigs are more balanced, KOH style.

[@elitesniper923]

That 440 IH and Big block ram are beasts!

[@marniedoyle8063]

When I first saw Rick's scout I thought "oh great. It's so small compared to the others, and it's not dovetailed or anything." but as it turns out, he's kicking some serious ass!

[@chefdan87]

Man that coal chute looks like a blast, i wish i had an offroad park with obstacles like that near me.

[@JeremyPetho]

"That post is solid steel with a concrete centre" So it's not solid steel.

[@kjorepo]

Yeah, you got me there, Misspoke in the excitement of the event. thanks for the feedback. :)

[@JeremyPetho]

Urban Survivors I thought so. You could say the steel part of it is solid, as opposed to porous.

[@smilesic]

I've been watching Formula 1 and WRC for a long time, where the hell has this been? stupidly entertaining! GREAT WORK MT !

[@Jonathan1969Stingray]

The first run gave me goose bumps.....

[@RagemanRM]

Oh my.. that sound! Beautiful exhaust!

[@bismillahmashallah]

The Ram is the perfect set up Imo best truck here

[@vollickplaysgames]

Commentator: Asks simple question from drivers... Driver: gives life fucking story

[@fellowship_of_the_goat]

I've gotta say, the 440 sounds the best out of them all, with the supercharged can't remember what it is coming in second

[@r000OO00tt]

Love this show, hopefully there is another TCC next year too.

[@MeleeTiger]

Whoa, electric lettuce didn't miss a beat.

[@robertblankenship6351]

Love to watch trucks play!

[@ApastronRetro]

if your going to do this make sure you have at least 48 inch tires... Trucks with bigger tires rear steering seem to do better.

[@Hlysht666]

Lets be honest. Alana is the real hero

[@Raytarded66]

I love the competition but the Ted Nugent lookalike host is annoying

[@user-neo71665]

Agreed

[@angelaarrubal792]

I fooound this aweeesomee aaall in one cccheaaat for Hill Climb Racing :) twitter.com/f87aa6536a6592d2b/status/843716996923449344

[@WompFilterProductions]

I wouldn't mind at all if these were longer!

[@LUNITICWILL]

s-10, dodge, scout, and bronco. i am liking this. why not add a catagory called innovation where rigs that are innovating but not competing race the courses

[@Senninha1960]

A '72 International with leaf springs competing in Top Truck?? Are they insane?!

[@NoxNoctisUmbra]

Love this show.

[@dirtcurt1]

Rock buggy against a fullsize anything, you know how it will end. It was nice to see the 1410, an actual truck.

[@stupidasso77]

Seems like the rigs I had picked to win the hill climb did not do so well. One thing I notice though, is that even the short vehicles have the front axle pretty far ahead of the motor. This will give them a better center of gravity and angle of attack.

[@user-neo71665]

Most of the time you have to move the front axle forward when running larger tires unless you want to jack the truck up 6 feet or have the tire come inside the cab on suspension compression.

[@pbenjlo]

That Mopar sounds so good.

[@Shadowsoken]

Yeah it does

[@Harry13002]

That '63 International Scout 80 did real well on the hill climb.

[@bryans3287]

Now thats a respectable 63 international scout

[@deannederhoff]

couldn't believe when I seen the international binder 1210 lol.my dad bought one brand new in 72.ya don't see many of them

[@yerwrng]

None of the 49-54 inch tired monster trucks even came close to the time set by the extraction crews example run in the 39 inch tired buggy .

[@mrBiko1994]

He had a lil fire we divided. It to let him finish Thank you

[@2007tacoma]

This is cool however its not as good as last year without all the water. That made for real much harder parts just like that slippery waterfall which isn't so much this year

[@dnicolae]

love the Ram and Bronco.

[@baksovic1]

Очень люблю этот канал :) Крутые машины и вообще очень интересно смотреть.. Подскажите пожалуйста как называется такой тип автомобиля?

[@AnontheGOAT]

Dang if only Rob didn't get caught on that pole, he would have probably finished first at the coal chute.

[@c00lhand208]

Would like it if there was an overall standings update after the two events per video.

[@crawlervideo]

Yeah a Samurai! Ok some parts from a Suzuki ha ha!

[@anniewalker8824]

the coal chute is call McCrayZ in Hollister Hills SVRA

[@hussamm07]

10:32 HAHAHA I LOVE THIS GUY

[@jeffmclearen229]

After 2 vehicles that hill was a two lane highway

[@Chadillac808]

Wonder Woman called. She wants her bracelet back.

[@copedipper25]

i like the 2005 episodes better...they arent panzies like they are on this one "due to the fire we decided to not let him drive the rest of the way out of the woods"

[@nswsparky]

when did rockwells get so popular.

[@moshunit96]

It's a real shame they edit this so heavily. Only get to see maybe 45 seconds of each vehicle and the toughest sections are barely seen. To bad.

[@shoegum7362]

"That was my first time driving it"

[@indyjons321]

I want that Jeep.

[@Mr_Sentoo]

i can't believe some cars are aloud to not use 4 point harnesses. thats just asking for trouble...

[@Butters69Channel]

Mother nature says what? I don't think mother nature hauled all those rocks over there and mixed up and poured a bunch of concrete to set them in place.

[@Chemogs]

Someone can me explain what type axles does have the f250 and the red bronco?? Salu2

[@MrCrubsy]

What do you think does one of these tuned Top Trucks cost?

[@TheMaurob1979]

yeah buddy !!

[@jrichie333]

Does winching earn a time penalty in this competition?

[@dontlike2bfedwith]

That green jeep though!

[@Dimitrius096]

What kind of power are these trucks putting down?

[@chefdan87]

Depends on their setups. These trucks are not focused on horsepower but torque. Also where the torque is made in the powerband. Some of the trucks here have large displacement engines like the black ford 472ci is what i think they said, the red bronco has a 460ci, and the green dodge is running something big "cant remember what they said he is running", that build their torque very low in the rpms. But others have smaller engines like the 350ci but have double transfer cases to get a mechanical advantage through gears. Im sure these engines are built well but i cant see why any of them would have more than like 500ftlbs of torque. The super low gears in the axles and transfer cases and transmissions allow for less power needed. That green dodge though that things sounds mean.

[@jrichie333]

400-600 horse

[@mtootm]

So I've noticed the trucks have brake discs on the axle. Can any1 explain why?

[@loveyardwork]

Big tires are hard to stop its easier to slow the gears

[@mtootm]

slow the gears? but aren't the gears connected to the tires. i mean that's what moves the tires. wouldn't it be more weight since not only are you stopping the gears, but also the tires connected to the axle which is connected to the gears. I thought it was to give more/better ground clearance for the tires if you don't have any discs to smash into the rocks. maybe i'll go do my own research.

[@jaybugni9272]

+offroadguy56 The tires are connected to the axle so if you slow the axle youre slowing the tires

[@PeakTorque]

Im british but...GBA!

[@BenLeBlanc1]

I want the scout...

[@privacymatters3171]

wheres the mud pit? even though it gets more unfair the more people go through it, its still fucking awesome. maybe dont let it count for totals but a exibition game?

[@FatalReactionPB]

They didn't do the mud bog this year because of a drought in California

[@Jack-wv5oy]

@@FatalReactionPB im sad

[@JessicaTG2008]

Seems after watching a couple seasons, its to the series' advantage to have a few high dollar, well purpose built machines and a few literal junkers with idiot owners to keep it interesting, that F250 and that tan IH pickup couldn't so anything if they were the only people there.

[@southernreptile9661]

how come that small car on the far right in the intro didn't make it into the episodes

[@robertalbertson2164]

SEX

[@mindkiller76]

What is it on the front axle spinning? Looks like a disc brake.

[@Steinerrides]

That's because it is a disc brake. They're military axles, so they have the brakes in the center so they don't need to pull 500+ pound wheels to change out brakes.

[@icemanroyal]

Matthew Stein ah i always wondered about that thing too, thanks for the explination

[@mindkiller76]

Matthew Stein Never heard of this before, smart though. Thanks for the reply.

[@Keifsanderson]

Matthew Stein Of course I may be wrong, but the fact that they are military axles has nothing to do with the pinion brake. The military runs outboard brakes on these axles. The design of the axle incorporates a flange so multiple axles can be daisy chained (think dual-rear axles). Engine power flows through the first axle and on to the rear. These guys simply re-purpose the flange to add the pinion brake, which has the advantage of stopping both tires symmetrically (with a locked diff) and capitalizing on the mechanical advantage of being up-stream of the axle gears, which helps slow down those big tires.

[@Steinerrides]

keifsanderson You're probably right. I never actually looked it up. I always figured that the pinion brakes were part of the axles because every 4x4 I've seen with Rockwell military axles had pinion brakes on them. I never looked closely at a military 6x6 to see if they had those brakes.

[@lelandeggleston1041]

forget Top Truck Challenge, wth are you driving (green 6 wheeled jeep)

[@dakotamcrae7391]

Dodge for the win

[@allinmota4787]

I fucking love this shit!

[@wesleyb82]

1:42 Boggers are hooking up!!!!!

[@Spencer-ty4sl]

the shorter the wheelbase, the better the offroad capabilities?

[@peepeepoopooman505]

Depends on application and set up.

[@erik_curtis]

Longer wheelbase is usually better for climbing (it keeps the truck from flipping over), shorter is better for rocks (less chance to high center between the wheels). That's the idea of sending these trucks through all these challenges, you have to make tradeoffs between the various types of off-roading.

[@chefdan87]

Erik has it right. Both short and long has its advantages and disadvantages. I personally love my broncos shorter wheel base for its abilities on obstacles and tight turning radius, but my buddies f250 can do stuff i cant like steeper climbs and heavier towing.

[@kjorepo]

Long Wheel base will keep you from pitching on hills and inclines, and the short wheel base makes you more maneuverable. So depending on what kind of terrain you wheel in, will dictate the design of the vehicle. It is nice to have a well balanced vehicle, so you must consider wheel base, weight, width, un-sprung weight, tire size, clearance, protection, and power. This year we had quite the variety. Way fun to watch!

[@dineshprasad4127]

Price kya hai is truck ka India me

[@FranksRcPlace]

These big ass trucks are struggling and braking parts like crazy, A GU could make these with only like a 5inch lift and a set of 35's.

[@FranksRcPlace]

***** Exactly.

[@clodbusta]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHHA YOURE HILARIOUS. A Shitbox patrol has no place here.

[@stevesmith-ji6px]

to show how steep it is you should drop a couple beach balls down it!!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

steve smith Great idea. We'll pass that along to the crew.

[@kjorepo]

Yeah I like that Idea, I do that next year.

[@vvvREQUIEMvvv]

Any info on the announcer's green jeep?

[@JS-tb9hu]

why don't they just have small cars like the example car on the coal chute?

[@JS-tb9hu]

+CreepleBossBoss how does that answer my question? I was just wondering what the point of the big four wheel drives are.

[@kjbigslim]

+Josh Smart Top "Truck"

[@JS-tb9hu]

+Captain I thought truck was just what American's called cars and big 4x4's

[@kjbigslim]

+Josh Smart Top truck is a very unique off-road competition. Most trucks are typically full size modified vehicles. But yes, the lighter purpose built tube buggies would destroy these things.

[@wantsanewvehicle]

Would of been nice if you guys would of told us how long it took the browns to do the course. Also, lol at the 6x6 jeep.. seriously. *facepalm*

[@loyseugene]

"Under four minutes" @ 9:42 (I know that isn't an exact answer ) & I agree on the 6X6, looks kinda cool but would be pretty useless.

[@wantsanewvehicle]

Loys Eugene Carter Ah I missed that part at 9:42, thanks :) the 6x6 doesn't even look cool imho.. looks slow, useless, somewhat expensive, and ugly. lol

[@kjorepo]

Loys Eugene Carter The 6x6 does very well off Road. Our 6x6 Dodge had dominated many events and is able to climb obstacles some 4x4 can't, so its got its uses.

[@loyseugene]

Urban Survivors Was not referring to ALL 6X6's, just specifically this one. But, would love to see vid's of your 6X6.

[@wantsanewvehicle]

I also wasn't referring to all 6x6's, just mainly this one lol..

[@Supcharged]

would a normal car like a range rover be able to do that?

[@rroadrider15]

No it would bottom out

[@Chris-sn3sj]

Only if you hooked it up to e back of one of these trucks
