Big Reveal set for Bundaberg
Mon Jun 16 00:28:41 2008
Quietly hidden in the outline for the upcoming KC's Fireworks show at Bundaberg, Qld (July 5th) is a little name that has been generating quite some discussion across the web - Outback Thunda II. The new iteration of "the Legend" rides on the former Devil's Dodge chassis, so it should be quite a performer, and the lucky showgoers at Bundaberg will be the first to see it in action.Far from being overshadowed however, driver Clive Featherby is clearly intending to take the original Outback Thunda out with a bang, as the truck will be attempting to scale a 3-car stack!

New (Old) Coverage Added
Fri May 9 06:03:49 2008
It's a bit overdue, but we have just completed a new event coverage page for a KC's Fireworks show held in the past year in Bathurst. Hosted by DRIFT Australia, this show sported a slightly different format, with the monster trucks competing in a racing time trial in addition to jumps over crush cars.Although not deemed a success (the poor audience turnout has caused KC's to boycott performing in the area years since), the show still contained the same quality entertainment, and the time of year made it possible to capture some very clear photographs of the action. View it here.

Ride That Beast!
Sun Jan 20 04:56:41 2008
If you haven’t noticed already, we have uploaded another Monster to the Trucks gallery, Bear Foot The Ride. Although this truck has been operating since September last year, it was only very recently that we were able to catch up with this one of a kind Monster Truck, getting set to thrill hundreds of adoring fans at the Gold Coast in Queensland. Click the link, or find it under the Trucks section.

The Devil Wears Pink...
Fri Jan 11 21:40:27 2008
Check out the Trucks page to see Devil's Dodge, the latest monster truck to hit Australian shores! Not long after it's debut Downunder, the crew at KC's Fireworks and LDI Kustoms decided to add their own unique little touch to the already sensational vehicle... Pink! They say it takes a real man to wear pink, so apparently it takes an even bigger man to plaster it on his truck...

Batman Begins Again
Sat Dec 22 18:22:10 2007
The Batman Begins monster truck is currently set for a complete rebuild and redesign for 2008. KC’s Fireworks and LDI Kustoms have wasted no time in their production of an all new Batman body due for completion in early January. The design is much unlike the current Batman Begins body, as it will present a much more retro style theme similar to that of the Batmobile vehicle seen in the original 1989 Batman film.
The feeling is that audiences will be more familiar with this older style design - a similar design of which has been campaigned successfully in the United States circuit for years. The current Batman Begins body will be kept for future promotions of upcoming Batman films, since it is modelled off the current Batmobile Tumbler.

TAZ Monster Truck to Debut in ’08
Wed Dec 5 02:12:09 2007
TAZ, the Tasmanian Devil cartoon character from Warner Brothers will truly be monsterized early next year, when it debuts in monster truck form! The TAZ monster truck is currently being designed by master monster truck designer Lindsay Houston from LDI Kustom Koncepts, who insists that the truck will not be like its US counterpart. The truck will be built using a race ready chassis imported from the USA. This new chassis is the latest acquisition to the KC’s fleet and consists of the highly acclaimed Devils Dodge monster truck, formerly owned by Larry Birch of Mays Landing, Florida.
TAZ is currently set to debut in Brisbane, Qld on 23rd February 2008.

Daily Juice Truck Added
Wed Nov 21 21:18:30 2007
The Daily Juice monster truck has been added to the Trucks gallery. This truck is not to be confused with the other Daily Juice monster truck, Captain Crusher. Rather, this truck never officially performed in public. It was specifically constructed for a one day television shoot back in 2005. Click the link above, or find it under the Trucks page.
