BIGFOOT 20 ELECTRIC MONSTER TRUCK

BIGFOOT 20 ELECTRIC MONSTER TRUCK

Bigfoot 20, the first electric monster truck, was on display at the 2019 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show.

Three banks of 10 ODYSSEY® batteries power the custom electric motor for a total of 360 Volts. There are six additional batteries that power the brakes and steering systems. The 36 batteries weigh over 1,300 pounds minuscule  compared to the vehicle's total weight of 13,000 pounds. 

The car-crushing Bigfoot 20 rides on four 1050/50R25 - 66-inch by 43-inch x 25-inch Firestone radial flotation tires. 

Each of the ODYSSEY® PC1200 batteries weighs 38 pounds and provide 1,200 five-second pulse hot cranking amps (PHCA), as well as 540 cold-cranking amps (CCA), 78 minutes of reserve capacity and 400 cycles of deep cycle capability at 80 percent depth of discharge (DOD).

Bigfoot 20, which uses Ford bodywork and weighs 11,000 pounds originally debuted at the 2012 SEMA show.
