I had the pleasure of meeting Robby in July 2009, out in the desert south of Las Vegas. He was out testing a set of shocks on his Trophy Class Monster Energy Drink truck. They had just been built and he was doing a practice run with them.
I could watch this all day - why isn't this ever on tv. Nascar is the only racing that's ever on. Nascar bores the crap out of me. Baja 500 should be on tv not nascar
@desertbombers I think you'll find it's enormously long travel, but the actual rates would not be all that soft. It's absorbing enormous hits, and you're seeing it move a long way. I don't think you'd say it was soft if you were sitting in it. Thought experiment. Drive a 911 GT3 off a 2 foot drop at 60 mph. Would it bottom out? Maybe. You can drive this off a 10 foot drop at 60 mph, and it will not bottom. So how soft is it?
@doomboy829 well they are considered the best in USA, Ken Block will compete in the WRC this year against the european top and i don't think he will stand a chance tbh. They are good but just in a different way. :)
@doomboy829 you should have a look at European drivers, they usually are much better than US drivers. In rally, neither Ken nor Robby can even get close to Sebastien Loebs in terms of skill.
@F1brawfa You sir are dead wrong if that was true then Scott Speed and Juan Pablo Montoya would be be battling each other for the championship. P.S I was refering to off road racers being better than F1 driver :)
@Desertbiker85 How can you care about this?? O.o Comparing NASCAR and INDY to Formula 1 is like comparing cave man to a space ship Is there rally not one good enough driver in USA that wuld be able to drive a F1 car ;/ ? Well that must be the case
@maniacoffroader Wuld you guys stop with Scot Speed he was shit in F1 and got ther eonly thanks to his sponsors and Montoya wasnt so good either he was in fucking Mclaren that was like the fastes car that dosent mean he was that good and he did win INDY 500 with with no problem , HERE WAS NEVER A REALLY GOOD F1 DRIVER IN NASCAR cos they take it as a downgrade
@maniacoffroader F1 is still light years away form nascr or indy you cant really compare cos the technology in f1 is just superior , and there are drivers in f1 like Kubica who are just superior to any nascar indy drivers i mean that guy can win a rally cup driving a 2 class lower car just think what he wuld do in nascar it wuld be a masacre but he will never go there cos its just a downgrade , i can also bet that as soon as a good american driver wuld join f1 there wuld be f1 mania in the us

great video, we love robby gordon, here in argentina, he's a damn crazy guy...!!!

The suspension on those things is just amazing!!
i wish i could hear that sound every freaking day!!! music!!!
Good sound!
trophy trucks r just 2 awesome, looks extreme with the suspension and the screaming v8 just finishes it all
There's something about big suspension and big tyres strapped underneath an 800hp "truck" sporting a fiberglass body. They're just awesome.
I'm going to learn how to drive like this one day.
i luv the shocks
@baptistedeschrevel
he turned right long before he went to nascar. He won the Baja 1000 back in the '80s.
@desertbombers it's not just soft. it's tuned and valved by the best
thats unreal!!
Fuck......,that suspension is AAAAAAWWWWWWEEEEESSSSSSOOOOOMMM!!!!
Its like RC racing at your local hobby store's track....only 100X more expensive.
wooow when you stop @ 1:47 you see how low the truck goes
AWESOMe
I love the suspension on these things! AHHHH!!! WE'RE ABOUT TO GO OVER A 10 FOOT DROPOFF!!! *poof* .....Where's it gone?
@F1brawfa
All I'm saying is you are greatly underestimating Nascar drivers.
robby is amazing listo para la san felipe 250
his suspension picks up everything aha
I could watch this all day - why isn't this ever on tv. Nascar is the only racing that's ever on. Nascar bores the crap out of me. Baja 500 should be on tv not nascar
mr nascar finally learns how to turn "right"
Why the hell is this not at the X-Games???????????
the engine sound is like hearing rock and rolls!!! xD
that truck is fucking nice
@cmiccy1 the difference is you'll flip before you get to 90. One shock on that truck is worth more than your whole chicken wagon.
badass video im sam mcmillin i raced with this guy aot
@moto4power i kinda miss 009 sound system :/
einfach geeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ALTA!!
!
Way better than nascar will ever be. And I think it's an f150 but not 100% sure though
@sjaderlund
you gotta "stop" at the start/finish every lap
Looks like my HPI Baja 5T 62cc :)
i wander if they could come out with a J10 body?
@desertbombers I think you'll find it's enormously long travel, but the actual rates would not be all that soft. It's absorbing enormous hits, and you're seeing it move a long way. I don't think you'd say it was soft if you were sitting in it.

i was there =]
what about travis pastrana he is sooooo beast
anyone know the specification of engine that they used on it??
it sounds like a BEAST.. O.O
@desertbombers Heaviest car ever
robbys airlines :DD
Im going to go ride on that with my suburban at 90 miles an hour and see what the difference is.
@F1brawfa
Cause F1 is for Primadanas and off-road racer actually appreciate there fans
thats like motocross with four wheels and 800 hp :P
Robby's playgound
Now, I wonder how he drives his person vehicle threw traffic.
@donwonjon420 yeah =)
why do they put a solid axle in the back instead of irs
these are only 2wd right?
what type of engine is it??
what engine does he run in this?
ken block owns
what i would do for one of those trucks lol
@blasterowner tell that to the Robby
Dear Santa:
@doomboy829 well they are considered the best in USA, Ken Block will compete in the WRC this year against the european top and i don't think he will stand a chance tbh. They are good but just in a different way. :)
@taylorisgod101202 i believe you :) don't worry what i sead was ironic
@doomboy829 you should have a look at European drivers, they usually are much better than US drivers. In rally, neither Ken nor Robby can even get close to Sebastien Loebs in terms of skill.

Suspension ke so Hotter
@CharlesMBooth haha ok ^^ lol
although i was just joking lol
Its a 2004 Chevy Siverado
