Hummer Valkyrie

Testing the race truck in Glen Helen. Black smoke is due to a turbocharger issue. Test went well, but the frame was bent/tweaked during a few jumps. Truck is back in the shop for reinforcements and upgrades.

I must disagree. Finishing the race at all is kind of important. Looking forward to the new videos though.

@117ss It's important yes, it's simple math, most trophy trucks have to run very high speeds in very rough terrain and half don't finish. Just go out to Baja, or Johnson Valley or Parker, to any major race and see for yourself. It's not a forgiving environment. If a truck can't run on a small short track without damage it won't make it through a desert race. If you take it easy and drive slow there's still going to be 20 trucks ahead of you that do finish.

Your driver is abusive.

[bigkofjustice]

@117ss The driver is the owner, it isn't abusive, that's normal driving conditions for 90 mph desert racing off road. The truck now has upgraded suspension and weighs about 1200 lbs lighter with an improved cooling system.

I like it but needs some work on the suspension. Looks like it lands really hard.

@rudedogii

We're upgrading the suspension with new control arms, this video is fairly odd, I'm looking forward to putting newer videos online in the coming months.
