Interesting fact – by law, all monster trucks are fitted with a “kill box.” This is a remotely operated engine-shutoff system, which will try to keep the driver from careening into several hundred fans should he lose control of the vehicle.

My favorite monster truck was always Grave Digger.
This truck was amongst the first to get a fiberglass body, but it was only because the availability of a 51 panel truck body was next to zero, and this truck usually crashed 172 times per race. Its artwork is epic, and the color scheme is really eye-catching to young kid such as myself (yes, present tense).
Bigfoot.
The “Bigfoot” monster truck has had no less than 20 versions, including a 10′ tire version, and the Fastrax model, which used tank tread-style propulsion.
