Trophy trucks weigh as much as two sedans.
What I found interesting was the reason they fly so well has to do with the angle between the rear tire contact patch and the pivot point of the trailing arm (really a beam), which is four feet long. The more acute the angle the better.
The shocks are also more complex than I'd known, with shock cooling reservoirs and bypass tubes.
