When Hummer/Navigator/Escalade owners find 26" to small, they'll start buying stuff like that 1st pic.

these trucks are absolutely insane.  Think of the engine power needed in the first picture....those wheels must be like at least 1K pounds each (must be more).  You need lots of hp!

True...but the tires are really, really, chunky and so big...so its probably hard for it to get worn down.

The normal (if you can call 'em that) monster trucks in the competitions have something like 1425-1500 HP...from V-8's I think with very loud (probably open) exhaust systems.  It's absolutely insane.  I had the chance to go to a monster truck show at the local ice rink.  It was EXTREMELY loud (the place was small) and it was really really interesting.  The trucks are huge and fun to look at.

It has to be 1500 HP...the trucks weigh 10,000 pounds! lol  And it's surprising how fast they are for their size, weight, resistance, and body lean...
