Will the HUB DYNO survive a MONSTER TRUCK? | John Gordon

The FuelTech Hub Dyno has seen a variety of vehicles in the past few years, but a Monster Truck is a new one for us! Today we are joined with John Gordon and the team behind the Bad Company Monster Truck as we get it tuned up for this season of Monster Jam.

Awesome work guys, thank you for helping us make the truck run nice and right!

[@breakupgoogle]

clean build.

[@TokenTombstone]

Glad you got it going, looked like you wanted a holley there for a while!

[@HarleybyHerm_]

Run her hard!!!! I’m watching you guys tonight at NRG!! 💯

[@SosopChabot]

I did freestyle motocross shows for a couple summers with monster trucks and all I can say is you guys hustle your asses off because your always breaking stuff, my level of respect went up 10x when I seen what you go through in a weekend to make sure you give the fans what they paid for and I will be following you guys from now on.

[@Chris_Harris]

LOL I KNEW I remembered that those engines walked a line between life and death because of the heat. I remember in the old BigFoot 1 days when people said they couldn't stay running in one spot. You moved or shut it off before you overheated/blew something up. Nothing has changed, even though I'm betting on better quality alcohol fuels, Fuel Techs, etc. It was so bad that when I got into watching IHRA/NHRA, the first thing I wondered about was all the times they fired the engines up and how the hell they were keeping them from burning. Then I learned about Nitromethane and how frigging magical it is. Such weird worlds the performance engines walk in. And bye bye Holley because you are many things but you are NOT a Fuel Tech.

[@bethanyhaskiell9116]

Team FuelTech the best in the industry you guys are awesome

[@hereinmissoula11]

Last i knew almost all major touring trucks were on holley ... cool you guys got a truck on fuel tech

[@edwardhuneycutt4785]

Fueltech for the win

[@BrandonSchumacher9519]

I can see a FuelTech truck coming out soon!

[@andy_damage]

Awesome work, guys! These monster trucks are one of my favorite things in the world, too cool that you guys are involved now! 🔥

[@lexomotorsports]

So much knowledge to learn from 👍

[@brianholcomb6499]

Great job by all! Most everyone else would have just given up & say, we can’t do it!

[@mikecrevier5811]

Quality supplier backing the grounds guys. Could of giving up but that's not worth a pinch of nothing. Id bet she runs steady with a couple tweaks. Hats off 👏 everything included

[@Jared45513]

Rad group of guys there, respectful and helpful

[@Dunehoon]

I helped Monster Mutt in San Diego last weekend with a FuelTech…went over logs, looked like a crank sensor noise issue…so cool

[@aspiceronni4462]

That truck is functional art.

[@Jacob2009jam]

Can't wait until St Louis Missouri

[@leprechaungarage]

That was awesome

[@dmeemd7787]

Awesome!!!

[@urbanlegendmotorsports]

Great informative video…

[@ToyStrafit]

Otimo trabalho Mestre Luis de Leon ! Parabéns!!!! Maquina incrivel!!!

[@mikerogers1984]

I'm still convinced John has the nicest truck in the country. He seems to be very meticulous...

[@aspiceronni4462]

There is a lot of knowledge in your garage.

[@stevesolo16]

I was surprised by the share amount of metal tubing it take to put one of these together.

[@K-Effect]

6:05 I don’t think those nitrogen-charged shocks are big enough😂

[@Aladinscave]

The planetary gear housing isn’t supposed to be hammered in 😅 just saying

[@ryurc3033]

Yeah I kinda felt the same way when I saw that......

[@cha_zin_RJ22]

😎🫡💪😎🚀👏🏻👏🙏

[@alvaromnetoo]

Queremos legenda em português 🥰🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@zcookie9272]

1000hp and 800tq

[@edwardfast4525]

Laptop on a monster truck what's this world coming to 😮

[@slowpoke96Z28]

If you aren’t going to dyno it with open zoomies, I want my view back lol.

[@SamIam420]

I can only see one side of the hub dyno.. What!!? Only one wheel? Is it because of the planetary? Rather break one tham two? Makes sense, but no accurate reading. Only one side? Please, someone explain this to me and everyone else asking the same thing. Thosd readings are only one one hub. Inaccurate.

[@SamIam420]

I was taut to question everything. So this is what I'm questioning.

[@griffinfaulkner3514]

My guess is that they don't really care about the power numbers in thise case, just getting the tune right, so it's not worth risking blowing up a second planetary set for the sake of numbers that are almost completely irrelevant in practice. They even say in the video that they care far more about throttle and rev response than maximum power.

[@tetracontrol]

both sides were connected to the hub

[@undergroundironentertainment]

Do you actually think that monster jam will allow the diag time, if there's a problem, with no parts and no time, at a outdoor event in the rain. Contract players will loose thousands of dollars, for not finishing a show. Not sold on this,

[@gtorjoepontiac5136]

4 tesla motors and boom quicker faster Boom no more back and forth on tune. Perfect platform for it. Torque from 0 rpm.

[@jd._.777]

i hope ur kidding

[@TicoDK]

Thats a genius move! then you can set all the D size alkalines inside the tube chassis.

[@alexsahli7988]

You realize the tesla plaid has 4 electric motors(one at each wheel to give it that power) the drive outputs on those motors would NEVER handle the torque needed to turn those massive tires…even with the gear reductions/planetaries….you can’t just stack 4 motors at each wheel either…because it doesn’t solve the axle/drive issue…you’d have to design your own, albeit much larger, DC motor…. Then figure out to use multiple Tesla batteries(or design your own multicell fast discharge battery)wired in series, through custom boards consisting of transformers, rectifiers, filters, etc…..then develop a software to monitor and control everything….. it wouldn’t take long to be into the millions…..and not be past the drivetrain…. Let alone all the additional components that would need to be custom made to accompany the drive motors(extremely heavy and attached directly to the hub) talk about a suspension nightmare when going with long travel shocks ☠️ unless you had long drives or knuckled couples….but that would an instant weak point and greatly reduce torque output.

[@ryurc3033]

Ok, go right ahead and do that.... Lol you will figure out how hard 66" tires are on drivetrain components. I think your forgetting each tire/wheel weighs roughly 1500lbs, and would turn the gears in the drive unit into shredded cheese.

[@KingJT80]
