Very true, but I don't think there's much more they could do to them to make them more durable. Those things weigh 10,000 pounds and they can do 65-70 MPH in 300 feet with 1300 HP engines! Imagine launching anything that heavy 10 feet in the air and expecting it not to break. It's almost hard to believe they're as durable as they are. Some of the older ones weighed closer to 20,000 pounds and were more durable, but slower*.

*DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a redneck! I would never have known all that about monster trucks if I hadn't just seen that special about it last night! Honest.
