The opening of the upcoming racing season always means great changes in the sports world. In the case of monster trucks, constant upgrades are necessary. The development of monster trucks in principle – was a big breakthrough. The racing and stunt industry also does not stand still. Creating up-to-date epic stunts requires upgrading cars.
The decision was born to create an ideal
After the 2021 A-All Mini Storage season, the decision was made to create a wholly upgraded version of the car. The prototype was Grave Digger. This car has shown incredible results in the races of past seasons.
Several unforeseen situations during the performance of tricks made me think. The pilot and trainer turned to the developers with a request for modernization. The developers took on the task with pleasure.
The developers come up with a new monster
Initially, a decision was made on full or partial modernization. The complete one included a change in the body model. Partial one includes the improvement of all possible processes. The basis of the body – Chevy Panel – is considered one of the best.
The developers have decided on a partial improvement. Work has begun. A few months of work and millions of efforts have done their job. After 4 and a half months, a new car was introduced to the world – Grave Digger Pro Plus.
