Monster trucks have changed since their Bob Chandler brought them to life 30 years ago. Now, they sport 570+ cubic inch, methanol burning, mid-mounted big blocks and 30+ inches of nitro-charged suspension travel. This combinations allows them to clear huge jumps and land them with ease and pull wheelies at the flick of a throttle. There’s a lot of engineering that goes into building these modern day monsters.
