Truck tug of war turns into a flywheel exploding into a million pieces

If you’re building a machine to beat on in any kind of competitive form, it’s kind of inevitable that you will break one part at a time until you get rid of every weak link and come up with a combination that’s able to handle what you’re throwing at it.

This time, we catch up with a tug-of-war between a couple of trucks that use their two-wheel-drive systems to go to battle in the mud. Naturally, this puts extra stress on the trucks drivelines as they lift up in the air.

It was only a matter of time before one of the trucks just couldn’t take it anymore and broke something essential. The essential part of the broke just so happened to be a flywheel that exploded into a million pieces and came flying out from underneath of one of the competitors.

The action was captured and can be seen down in the video below. I suppose this just means that now it is time to go back to the drawing board and put something a little bit stronger in this workhorse.
