Massive V remote control monster trucks (ooops)!!!

[gabe2304]

Two monster truck FAILs in one!

1. it's not RC.

2. The wheel snapped, most trucks can handle that small amount of abuse.

[DrOrsum]

@gabe2304 1. In the ad they were filming for, this truck was 'RC'

2. Any truck could have broken on a hit like that. It was an awkward landing on the rear end.

[maxd97]

i have can :p

[geo6642]

wtf it's not an rc

[johndeere8345rt]

that's not r/c, you can see the driver in it

[geo6642]

@johndeere8345rt yea

[ewertjoe]

Could have been a tie rod. I've seen em break before and wheel stays on, too.

[Griff747]

lol, broken rear axle.

[holeshotholm417]

Dumb asss keepp going maximum destruction it!!!!

[ollieal96]

It must have broken the whole rear axle in half. Thats the only way I can figure how the wheel stayed on.

[abracing199]

[threeta]
