Damn this was a flashback from my childhood. I remember i had a collection of vhs tapes with all these trucks

[@theRCrenegade]

Wow! This was all new to me...neat you found it interesting...i have more content on the way about these, so stay tuned.

[@j.stewey4793]

You have no idea how special of a moment that would be for someone who lives, breathes, and loves monster trucks to be able to sit in the driver's seat of Taurus. A true piece of monster truck history and a true legend! Can't thank everyone at the museum enough for putting this together over the years and maintaining it. Hope you had a lot of fun while you were there. Great video and thank you for taking the time to film it and share it.

[@theRCrenegade]

Thank you! Most of these trucks were before my time, but it was still very neat to see! Neat history is being preserved at the museum.

[@BigelowInventions]

Thank you so much sharing this! I used to go to monster truck shows all the time when I was a kid in the 90's. The shows were always so epic. I'm glad that someone is taking the time to preserve the history of monster trucks. On a side note; it would be great to see a classic Grave Digger in that museum at some point. 💀

[@theRCrenegade]

Alot of viewers are saying the same thing...people appreciate the OG monster trucks! Thanks for the support. Yes, that would be cool to see.

[@LilMzMandy]

Gravedigger trucks are all at diggers dungeon in kill devil hills NC

[@TravisBradley-qq2vt]

I love the Hercules 2 truck I seen it in 1987 I was about 6 years old and still have old school pics of it

[@theRCrenegade]

Oh cool! That is fun!

[@Blimpus]

This was fantastic! Jeff is such an awesome dude! Love this place, someday I will make it

[@theRCrenegade]

Yes, Wildman Jeff was amazing...and if you can make the trip, it's worth it!

[@jesset061084]

I went there and met Jeff and shook his hand and said I was a fan and the place was amazing well worth the trip and money

[@theRCrenegade]

Awesome! Wildman Jeff is a nice guy...happy to tell everyone about the trucks.

[@freedomtowander]

Great video! Your star is rising friend!

[@theRCrenegade]

Thank you so much!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I miss the days when monster trucks were built from real trucks and were show vehicles. The modern monster trucks don’t have the soul that the old trucks did

[@theRCrenegade]

That is before my time, but it was neat to see the trucks for sure! Nowdays everything is custom built lol

[@andyguyuk1]

Couldn't agree more but the monster trucks of today are a work of art just in a different way, the way modern monster trucks defy gravity is unbelievable and the abuse they can take is amazing

[@theRCrenegade]

Yes! It is amazing to see. The nitrogen filled shocks are also pretty cool. The technology is amazing in the modern trucks.@@andyguyuk1

[@soaringfreedomgiraffe393]

I feel the same about nascar and a lot of other things in my day to day

[@theRCrenegade]

[@theRCrenegade]

You have to check it out! So cool

[@johnnyarmstrong77]

Great episode! Especially enjoyed the tank segment. Keep churning out the content!

[@theRCrenegade]

Thank You! Yes, I didn't know monster truck tanks were an actual thing before seeing that one in the museum. Glad I could document it on film.

[@andrewrichey7374]

[@aaaaaaab11]

[@theRCrenegade]

The Bear Foot truck is really cool!

[@shrapnelsbunker736]

We were just down there last november for the hall of fame weekend... Already plotting a trip down there for the first racing event in May..

[@theRCrenegade]

Nice! There is alot to see! It was my first time there, so that was cool.

[@shrapnelsbunker736]

@@theRCrenegade I bought my Clodbuster in their gift shop a while back.. I've got a short of it on my channel

[@theRCrenegade]

What is the Clodbuster?!? Sounds neat!@@shrapnelsbunker736

[@shrapnelsbunker736]

[@theRCrenegade]

Thats really neat @@shrapnelsbunker736

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

My favorite tank truck was Virginia Beach beast

[@theRCrenegade]

Cool!

[@EASTSIDE-313]

3 gauges... You have your water temp, water pressure, oil temp, and oil pressure😂 probably more like water temp, oil pressure, and voltage... But maybe oil temp, but I doubt it😂😂

[@theRCrenegade]

If you want to see a similar video, check out the UMP modified car tour video, that car has some cool gauges!

[@Dadsredvampire]

I live 10 miles from the hall of fame museum.

[@theRCrenegade]

You got to go check it out!!!

[@orangecrate5895]

Jeff Dane's King Kong was a recreation or replica, not a restoration.

[@theRCrenegade]

Oh, ok! Still very cool!

[@elleryparsons2433]

How Did They Do Gear Changes In those Trucks.

[@theRCrenegade]

There is a gear selector on the floor to the right of the driver. If by gear changes you mean actually replacing gears, idk, that's a question for Wildman Jeff!

[@elleryparsons2433]

That’s What I Meant.

[@theRCrenegade]

@@elleryparsons2433 I change gears on RC cars, not moster trucks haha...better ask Wildman Jeff on that one.

[@orangecrate5895]

Everett Jasmer's 1988 National Champion USA-1 was the first to incorporate an aluminum Profab quick change transfer case. Prior, most trucks ran the military transfer cases or such that didn't offer any ratio changes. To my knowledge, Cyclops ran a chain drive case that allowed ratio change with different chain lengths and sprockets.

[@theRCrenegade]

Thanks for the info@@orangecrate5895

[@dougdroen7519]

Rii is killing the sport

[@theRCrenegade]

How is Rii killing the sport?

[@kerryhall6456]

Does he want 2500 for that race car with the motor???? 23:18

[@theRCrenegade]

I think the motor is not included, however call the number listed for further details. It is a neat piece!

[@EASTSIDE-313]

A steering wheel with 3 grade 8 bolts holding it on... Surprise, theres no air bag😂🤣 sorry... But come on man, still a good video, but only because of the footage...
