We’ll follow the creation of Bigfoot 16 - one of the most cutting edge monster trucks of all time. We’ll see them weld together a tubular steel chassis, assemble the axles and the planetary gears, install nitrogen powered shocks, and drop in a fuel-injected racing engine. We’ll also see the installation of specialized rear steering, massive 66” wheels, and a custom painted fiberglass body.

Along the way, we’ll discover the science and technology behind each component. From automotive engineers, to professional drivers, to industry innovators, they’ll all be on hand to take us under the hood of this monster machine. We’ll explore the evolution of the technology and the sport, and see exactly what it takes to get 5-tons of metal to jump, spin, maneuver and accelerate. Throughout the past 30 years of Monster Truck mania, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. We’ll see some of the most riveting and death defying crashes of all time, hear about them from the drivers who survived them, and explore the safety innovations that have made monster truck racing one of the safest motor sports.
