Maximum Destruction 2011 -- Cowboy Stadium Monster Jam February 2011 explosion

[amistermike07]

Only Tom would do that lol

[ChickinSammichMan]

Poor Machine.

[crazy7997]

What the? Was it being held together with zip ties? That fell apart way to perfectly. If you know how well these rigs are built, you to would be thinking the same thing. They riged that up to fail.

[davidandalex2]

@crazy7997 They actually build that truck up to stay together cause how how hard he drives that thing. He just has ways of destroying it ;)

[crazy7997]

@davidandalex2 Sorry your wrong and right. Yes, I have looked and touched at these rigs/machines first hand and they are built tough.  What suprised me is how small they actually are. But they are built up strong. Now the wrong part. They are built so good a landing like this would never ever rip a whole rear end out of the truck that clean. Not even one part held the r.end to the truck. Then how do you explain the flames starting before the wheels even touch ground????

[crazy7997]

@davidandalex2 and there is nothing there that would cause flames like that. The brakes where cold or not even red and try burning very thick diff oil. Even if the diff oil is hot it would just slowly burn. And then there were nothing still burning after the explosion. Then every link broke just tooo perfectly.

Yeah he has ways of destroying it. Rig it up to fall apart just perfectly to make the crowd happy.

[davidandalex2]

@crazy7997 This is a 10,000 pound machine landing sideways on the front axle. They're not made to land like that. No matter how well people build them up, they can be destroyed. And those weren't flames. They were sparks (I'm nearly positive they came from that O-ring (forget what it's really called) right near the front axle) that were probably caused from him either slamming the brakes or the O-ring getting hot (Just a guess). The flames were caused from the front axle ripping off the truck.

[crazy7997]

@davidandalex2 hahahaha man oh man now this is funny.

[davidandalex2]

@crazy7997 I've been following Monster Jam for years... I was actually at a show this past Sunday. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about..

[davidandalex2]

@crazy7997 We know how well they're built up, but we also know that they can fall apart when driven into the ground like Tom or Dennis do with their trucks.

[RunescapeKing3500]

WE HAS LIFTOFF :D

[RobloxianTelevision1]

Thats one serious trucker.

[TODDTHEF0X]

Some of the stuff is staged but you can't stage that. You've never even seen a break disc heat up have you? It turns bright red and yes they can explode when something like that happens but that was the gears in the diff exploding because of the forces of the impact. Pyrotechnics my ass.

[SewiloX]

@TODDTHEF0X None of it is staged, actually.

[Virocontyler]

Since Monster Jam is like professional wrestling, in that its staged, I'm guessing that explosion was planned and set off remotely... haters gonna hate

[SewiloX]

@Virocontyler It isn't staged, I work for the promotion often. It's legit competition. The way it's marketed makes it looked staged to some.

[Virocontyler]

@SewiloX They like to keep their fans happy. When Grave Digger shows up to an event in a small town, and the truck beside him is some new up and comer, quite frequently someone comes to tap this guy on the shoulder to say, let yourself lose. Its well known, dozens of testimonials online, look it up. Several drivers have admitted to planning stunts, for example, having their fiberglass bodies fly off on a jump, having wheels come off, and even timed explosions.

[aaron93m]

@Virocontyler How is it staged? They shut down the whole monster truck to prevent further harm to the driver. Safety first.

[Virocontyler]

@aaron93m How does that have anything to do with what I just said?

[aaron93m]

@Virocontyler Use your head.

[SCHMULBACH22]

where do they get money to fix that shit?

[SewiloX]

@SCHMULBACH22 Monster Jam owns about 80% of the trucks that run their shows. So they back it all up.

[MrDirtbiker250r]

he should of kept driving hahaha

[c3t1f13dgoon]

is this a ford?

[TheOutlawVideoSS]

Bubs builds his mud truck like this LOL at least a pass or two you can get out of him Lmao

[ROBLOXdude95]

This is my desktop.

[SuperKaluah]

one word: HOLY CRAP

[romanos83]

@SuperKaluah its two words

[jdracer212]

Max d stands are u in good hands

[CardinalJiles]

how do u get that on the truck is the question

[XJadynX]

I would say he lived up to the name

[blueovaltrucks]

does Progressive cover that?

[dansnali]

This truck is fun to watch just seen him going nuckin futs at monster jam in Toronto. Destroyed his truck there as well!

[PendellTheEnigmaUKZz]

maximum desruction to maximum desruction :)

[TheDmcnichol]

his shocks were destroyed!!!!!!!

[SimonBmxs]

i used to like watching trucks go crazy and destroy things but then i took a tire to the face...

[austinzelfel]

ill give that standing a 10.0, amazing dismount

[penske13]

son...that is how ya come back with nothin!!

[SweWarg666]

"Floor it" just got a whole new meaning...

[BBALLROCKS2900]

PERFECT LANDING

[evilhi4life]

just like the toys xD

[gertgertgert18]

Deze truck ging op hele spectaculairs manier kapot!

[Codythecartaker]

that LS7 they sell for $13,700...witch those IMPORTS like 2.7mil$..Honda are cheap BUT to make 505HP in that 4 banger how mutch is that gunna cost turbo inter cooler better heads pistion all that..you look at the V8 it all N/A (natural Aspirated)

[ztwntyn8]

this nutcase had pyrotechnics blow the front end off

[rollingcoalcummins]

@ztwntyn8 You're fucking stupid. The diff gears in those things get riddiculously hot, and especially when he drops the front end of the truck right on the ground, the friction thats generated by the gears would do that.

[ztwntyn8]

@rollingcoalcummins First off fuck you prick it was a joke. Secondly, the diff may be responsible for the flash but it didn't break the links holding the diff on the truck... dumb fuck.

[slimjim9059]

Shoulda slammed it in reverse and laid it back on the ground.

Also... it looks like the explosion or rather the fire started before wheels hit the ground

[thoughoutlife]

thats nothing hes just breaking it in

[gertgertgert18]

@thoughoutlife split a two parts broke!

[thoughoutlife]

@gertgertgert18 do you see the irony?...lol

[Codythecartaker]

you see imports braging about power to there small motors BUT you never see them in monster trucks and pickup (full size work pickups)...lol i wonder when they guna learn you need displacment cubic inches of raw power NOT reving the piss out of it to make 3 diget numbers on the dyno...an btw MAX D is the best

[stormer1092]

@Codythecartaker you cant get gas mileage from displacement.

[Codythecartaker]

@stormer1092 So you call 28MPG in a Corvette z06 bad ??? LS7 427ci 505 HP V8 ...0-60 like couple seconds....A V8 427 CI gets 28mpg NOW not all V8s can have Dis. Power And Gas Milege....But GM makes a motor that gets Decent gas milege for being a big motor with over 500Hp

[stormer1092]

@Codythecartaker yea i get your point but look at the price and development that went into that motor only to achieve 28 highway and only 16 city. If GM did that with every v8 motor they build they would go out of business.

[Codythecartaker]

@stormer1092 BUT that monster truck has like 1400-1800HP big block Blower and Alchohal..proble dosnt get very good gas miledge but eho needs it

[stormer1092]

@Codythecartaker no they don't make them to save fuel. Thats just 100% power they are going for. 

[TheBBGFireRaw]

Drive it into the ground man!!!!

[MrBillygoat67]

Hate to be pit crew

[ViktoryaKayne]

wow! just WOW! that was amazing! thanks for the Fan Cam view

[devonte3062]

[drifta96]

pay no attention to nightrezz, nazi's don't get to have cool stuff.

[Nightrezz]

monster truck is a stupid american thing ...

[DrOrsum]

@Nightrezz they are all over the world, and they are far from stupid

[500erider]

@Nightrezz And I'm proud to be an american,where at least I know I'm free,and I won't forget the men who died,who gave that right to me.......Ever heard that one????Nah, 'cause you ain't american.

[Nightrezz]

@500erider usa and free does not fit but thats a thing that the most americans dont know. police state usa

[500erider]

@Nightrezz And you are right. That (police state) is surely coming.But at the moment we are still(sorta) free.

[cowboy2453]

i seen this on tv

[izub28]

thts crazy

[jouniortrucker123]

yea all max d trucks engines are in the front

and chuck werners too

[DirtyFrigginHarry]

@jouniortrucker123

No. Chuck got a fresh one built with a rear engine.

[mawman2025]

NO TOP COMMENTS THIS IS MAH CHANCE uhhhhhhhhh where's tom?

[geterdonein01]

Was that the new truck he just built?

[skyworthy1]

I was there the explosion came from the engine and the smell of smoke filled the stadium I was pretty far back in the end section on the third level and still felt the heat from it

[xrayracer1]

that truck live up to it's name.

[teamspiker1]

@xrayracer1 what truck? i see parts

[14ChiefMaster]

[gearofwarfreak]

holy crap that was sick

[footballplayer431]

Bad, if u watche fit on speed, he had his arms out like he was stoked

[carlitos9139]

did anyone noticed that the flames started before he hit the qround?

[FANJG24]

@carlitos9139 Yeah you're right

[TheMonstertruckman]

@carlitos9139 It might of been the brakes those things spark all the time

[bad65stang]

uhhh..i wonder what was goin through his mind when that happened....

[ChockableChimp]

It didn't break in half, the front axle broke off, and it didn't blow up, it landed on it's rear end.

[FailPatrolTV]

Wow rednecks are fucked up, instead of going ahhh they clap

[Monsterjam83roblox]

@FailPatrolTV wow... :\

[CTParker13]

@FailPatrolTV well ur name says it all but its all a show and he wont get hurt doin that, just enjoying the show hes giving

[anthony0435]

You can see the fire start at.the transfer case and then the front gear housing then seems to ignite the fluids from the impact. What are the initial sparks/flames from the transfer case and gear housing?

[KL0NDIKEBAR12]

Where was that?

[Trevizdabomb]

@KL0NDIKEBAR12 it says in the title

[TheMatugoboss]

[humbler1]

Well theres your problem.

[BigBadItalian510]

Gotta love Max D. Not afraid to fuck a truck up to give the fans a good show lol.

[burgernfrysyo]

He shouldve tried harder to put on a better show lol

[JTurner427]

Oh yeah, duh, it broke off all those lines, plus the driveshaft & the driveshaft cage, & the limiter straps. A lot of metal crunched. Think of it as just breaking off both tires @ the same time, that's what happened... But broke off @ the frame, not off the steering knuckles @ the ends of the axle housing. The housing might be hurt, the wheels are great, the suspension is in shreds, but that frame is still in good condition.

[JTurner427]

That's not in half, smartass. It ripped the frong axle housing from the 4-link & the coil-overs. The explosion came from the heat of all that metal crunching, in the prescence of brake fluid, hydraulic steering fluid, axle housing fluid... Plus the inevidible leaked engine oil. The wheels shayed on the housing, but that right front knuckle is done...

[musicman3005]

The thinks that Tom does is so EPIC and just balls out to please all of us.He just built that truck and trashed it and Grave Digger might be a icon but he is no Max-D...Bigfoot is the original icon anyway.

TOM MEENTS IS INSANE!!
