Bigfoot #18 – Desert Truck meets Monster Truck

posted in: Motorsports | 0

What do you get when you combine a 2011 Ford Raptor fiberglass desert racing body, and a redesigned monster truck chassis? You get Bob Chandlers latest creation – Bigfoot #18. It’s reportedly the first totally redesigned Bigfoot truck since 1992.

Specifications:

  • 2011 Ford F150 Raptor fiberglass desert body
  • Concussion Motorsports chassis
  • 565 CID engine
  • Abruzzi 2-speed tranny
  • ZF planetary axles
  • 66x43x25 Firestone tires

Keep an eye out for this truck in 2012.  Dan Runte is tentatively scheduled to debut Bigfoot #18 at the Toughest Monster Truck Tour event in Southaven, MS during the second weekend of January, the first stop in his quest to capture the inaugural Toughest Monster Truck/Monster Nation dual-championship.

Now if Bob could just get past his feud with the USHRA and put this truck in the Monster Jam series.  Bigfoot #18 could truely return to the king of the monster trucks and get the proper recognition it deserves, instead of being a fairgrounds car crusher.
