  • Ever see an 800hp off-road race truck on the drag strip and road-race course? Neither had we, which is why we set that up on this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited. Join Mike Finnegan as he takes a look at the fabrication and the power behind Cameron Steele's Desert Assassin Trophy Truck that runs in the SCORE off-road race series, sponsored by Monster Energy and Yokohama tires. You may also know Steele from hosting action-sports shows on TV, but in this video he's at the wheel of his desert truck on the quarter mile of Auto Club Famoso Raceway and the big track at Willow Springs International Raceway, right alongside us in a new Mustang Boss 302 and a Raptor 4x4. Watch the surprising results!

    That trophy truck is a serious monster machine... The power & torque not to mention what its build for makes it dangerous anywhere... Bottom line its a sick as machine that i wish i can at least sit behind the wheel and wet my self involuntarily xp lol

  • @HeraldandGerald
    @HeraldandGerald 9 ปีที่แล้ว +34

    The bottom line is that both driver and truck were taken out of their natural habitat and placed in a situation completely different from what their used to. That truck was built for the sole purpose of being the fast off-road. Given the situation and the fact that they left the baja tires on the truck, I'd say they still did a hell of a job. But let's see a Boss 302 shred through the desert as is.

    • @rickmailme
      @rickmailme 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ***** Those tires actually have good grip and sidewall stiffness. Suspension wise though I'm shocked that it wasn't totally worthless at speeds approaching the boss302. I wonder what a simple shock rebuild for much more stiffness and less travel would have done for them, combined with atleast lowering by using the already present spring collars on those shocks.

    @brendancarter3453 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I though 396 cubic inches and up was considered a big block? I'm no motor head btw

    • @A_Man_Of_Culture_
      @A_Man_Of_Culture_ 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      The difference between a big block and a small block is not displacement, it is he size of the engine block hence the name. A big block has very large water passages, and quite a large space between cylinders, where as a small block has the cylinders very close, and smaller water passages. Also the small block has its valves side by side, where as the big block has the valves angled to prove better flow. There were 400+ Cubic inch small blocks from the factory, and 396 big blocks so it wasn't all about displacement.

    @SpecialKLSX 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    You pretty-much nailed it. The tall deck has a taller deck height allowing for a longer stroke. the LSX and LSX-A blocks are offered by GMPP, however are not used in production engines. They can use almost every part ever offered on the Gen 4 small blocks (LS-LQ series)
    As for bore the LSX series blocks are limited to 4.25 inches (for a All motor effort) acording to GMPP.

    @charliedee9276 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember the full size class 8 trucks blowing by me on my dirtbike in AZ in the 80's. And this one is much crazier then those were. All I have to say is Mr. Steele is one driving Mfer to do Willow in that time on a race in the dirt prepped truck with marshmallow suspension. Firm that thing up and lower it with some street tires and it would flat waste the Mustang. And if there are ANY doubts how badass this rig is, have anything that may beat it at Willow follow it in it's playground...
