only 30 minutes in, and from the USA. Kind if amazing you can build a Monster Jam worthy truck with no prior knowledge, experience, or a multimillion dollar shop. Great work Kev and crew.
@tankjones51311 ай бұрын
For the first 5 or 6 minutes of the video, I kept thinking to myself, "It's really no different than building an RC car, except scaled wayyy up." Then Kev says the same thing in the video. Great minds think alike, lol. You, sir, are more motivational than you think. I will probably never build my own monster truck, but if I ever do, it will be exactly because of you. I'd like to at least own one someday, but even if I don't, I can see myself operating from that same "child-like" motivation for ANY desire I have. Never give up that imagination and tenacity! It's very inspiring!

Hey Kev, Don't never feel bad. Let haters get you down, or expect perfection on a fresh build. Because as any GREASE MONKEY (MECHANIC) knows firsthand: "THERE'S ALWAYS A FEW BUGS TO WORK OUT ON ANY PROJECT." I'm a 43-year exp, MECHANIC myself, And RESTORING ANTIQUE P/U's, 4x4's, Even turning old bikes thrown away into BEAUTY'S: IS HOW I RELAX! I watched your video from start to finish and loved every second of it. And the way all of y'alls faces lit up when y'all first: FIRED IT UP, FINISHED PUTTING THE BODY ON IT, JUMPED IT, WATCHED IT PERFORM was nothing short of priceless! I hope to see you and your NEW TOY come to America one day to compete. CONGRADULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE.

@@harveylong5878 I've actually never thought of it that way but you do have a point and I agree.

The drivers also have to get used to the different texture and type of dirt for example the dirt at one show rather than the other might have different driving conditions that come to it.
