This truck is pretty sick too. It has a full custom welded steel cage. Apparently it weighs 11+lbs. Looks so real when it's blasting whoops.

Top one looks cool but an anchor of epic proportions. The second truck is an odd handling contraption with its inner front wheel lifting with minimal effort. Don't see how these would do well in the market.

Have you never seen a full size trophy truck? They lift the inside front tire all the time. These trucks are not track weapons, they are meant to replicate real open class desert racers. News flash, if the track was rough like open desert, they would dominate over a typical r/c race buggy. Also the second truck was scratch built by a 19 year old. Let's see the handling of your scratch built car.

Justin (CyconXC) is the greatest rc trophybtruck builder on earth. I was talking to him when I was building my yeti trophybtruck. And I give him credit for flooding the Internet with his awesome trophybtruck video. I personally know that the yeti designer follow him closely when they working in designing the yeti. So yes Justin and his trophybtruck awesome and I thank him for sparking the tv trophy truck revolution.

The top yeti trophybtruck lifts the right front wheel with no effort too but it is not doing it in video because I had tighten up both front and rear away bar to prevent it fornpurpose of track run.

The second one (Monster) I think is badass ! Would I buy one if someone mass produced it? It seems more likely to be a basher truck than weekly racer.
Seems very close to the real trucks in suspension travel and handling. Very awesome jobs by both builders

Yeah, the rear-end of these trucks have SOO much travel compared to the front, there is no way they wont lift the front inside wheel.

And oh yeah... they would never be able to compete against an IRS RC truck... however, they are much cooler.

They can't beat your lcg sct around track but These truck looks so real and cool running offroad and much more capable.

Trophy Trucks are not the same as Short Course trucks. I realize that may not be the issue or confusion here but I feel it's a point worth mentioning..And so I can say CJ who?

Awesome young man and a local R/C racer. The "kid" is simply gifted, fast no matter what he's driving/riding.

Since it looks like its okay to post other trophy trucks, heres mine ive been driving for around 6 months now. I use a castle 3800 and bigger pinion to account for the smaller tire size, but i just brush it off as more of a scale speed. Its nice to see them being built, its a cool platform.
