First the General Tire Vegas to Reno race and then the Bluewater Desert Challenge. Camburg has been picking up some nice BITD (Best in the Desert) trophies to share with sponsors like General Tire, Monster Energy, N-Fab, KMC, Scosche, MagnaFlow, and KC HiLiTES.

The Kinetik Trick Truck/Trophy Truck chassis is based on 2-inch-diameter 4130-chromoly tubing that's been TIG welded. Critical tubing joints get a second TIG pass to add even more strength. The truck was built from the ground up from mastered blueprints and is available to customers as a complete turnkey race truck or as a bare chassis for a team to start with. The suspension and chassis were computer-designed, and the laser-cut, laser-notched, CNC-bent tubing was assembled and welded on a heavy, rigid fixture table. By contrast, most of the off-road racing field, trucks and buggies, are built by hand, one by one. Precision tools are used in race vehicle fabrication, but it's been a rare happening in the off-road racing world to build a complete vehicle in a computer before getting out the fabrication tools.

The rear suspension is on par with the front, providing 32 inches of travel via a four-link controlled by Fox coilover and bypass shocks.

A Howe steering rack is practically standard-issue in the TT class for good reason: It’s powerful and reliable.

That’s a custom TIG-welded “10” rear axle. From the side you can see the dual-mode fuel inlet, allowing fill-ups through a quick-fill nozzle or a traditional fuel dump can.

The front upper and lower control arms connect to custom steering knuckles and are able to cycle 27 inches of smooth wheel travel.
