105+ MPH Thru Gnarliest Test Course! Andy McMillin Tests AWD TT Before BAJA Race!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Our rebuilt AWD trophy truck with a new engine + bunch of new and upgraded parts hits the dirt for the first time! I get to drive my fresh Joe Gibbs Racing engine during our first test session before we head down to San Felipe and of course we had to hit up the roughest terrain in Southern California - PLASTER CITY. After we tested in Plaster City we pack up and head down to San Felipe to put in another test session on the race course itself. Watch episode 2 of 4 of my San Felipe 250 series!

Glad to see you making content. My kid loves watching and learning everything he can about racing and it’s nice and clean that I can let my son loose watching your channel and not worry he is gonna hear bad language or something he shouldn’t. Look forward to seeing the behind the scenes or the day to day of Andy Mcmillian
Haha awesome to hear! Thanks for letting your kids watch
Brings back some memories...When Scott and Mark used to test in plaster city, they liked to have an emt around, I got to fill that role a few times and got some really nice rides....
The good ol days!
Damn that Gibbs motor sounds good.
Yes sir!
A family that gives back to the community, and respected amongst their peers. 👍🔥
👊👊👊
Just a matter of time, before A. Mac OWNS everyone in TT again !!!!
Keep pushing Andy!
Haha yes! It's been awhile but I am confident with the team that I am building we will be back on the top step very soon.
raw uncut in-cab footage was sick!
Thanks Alex! You are going to love the next episode. We are posting the raw in-car video from qualifying!
Love the in car footage.
Thank you! Next episode is going to be in-car from the whole qualifying run
1500 more HP !!! orale guey !!!
Hahah I meant to say 1500 more RPM
Andy Mcmillin deserves to be back on top of the trophy truck mountain! Sending good luck your way, 'I see a win in your near future' says the fortune cookie haha
We'll get there! With the team I am building now, it'll happen in due time.
Great to see you take the step into more social media. I would suggest a collage of snipits from all of your years of racing worked into your intro with music. Also Timelapse on fabrication/set-up works well. Don’t be afraid of voiceover explaining what your doing at the time.
Great video Andy! I think its great that you added an on board Raw clip of you San Felipe Testing. 👍
Thanks man! I know you guys like seeing the in-car footage
In car footage was awesome, Thanks for sharing and keep it going buddy 👍👊🙌
Thank you for watching! Next episode is our entire in-car from the qualifying run
I could watch that in car all day! Well done Andy & Team!
You are really gonna love the next episode then haha. In episode 3, we are going to show you guys our entire qualifying run, next Tuesday!
Definitely more incar footage to watch. Also commentary between you and navigator would be great to hear
We actually had the intercom audio here but since it was a loop that we did multiple times I didn't need Johnny calling notes. The next episode is in-car from our qualifying run and you will hear Johnny and I talking to each other.
Oh geez, I drove my truck down that stretch of the race course in San Felipe. We were just trying to get south to set up camp for race day. Those woops had everyone in our group car sick by the time we made it to our spot near the wash.
Yeah man it's gnarly. Even in our Stewart prerunner it takes a toll
@@AndyMcMillinTV So much so that we stopped driving the course and just went down the blacktop and cut across at Percebu or Santa Maria. Even then, the ride back to the house at midnight was an adventure.
In car footage was 🔥
Thanks man!
Freakin’ awesome! To have endurance with that kind of RPM is amazing.
Yes it's wild
Show us the things that you improved on. You mentioned steering earlier...still running the steering box with a swing set setup? I heard you went from a five-speed X-trac to a 6 speed ?
Fox Rad valve / how do they work ?
Difference in engine pkg's
The Dugan's big block vs the JGR / power delivery / hp & tq numbers.
You asked how can you make this channel better than the rest please share some of this nerd / tec stuff.
Thanks for the suggestions! We'll do what we can with the time we have.
Great videos. Awesome content.
Thanks for watching Michael!
enjoying your channel, keep it coming.
Thank you! Next episode drops next Tuesday, May 17th. Turn on that bell for a notification when the new episode comes out
That frontend roost is awesome. I’m glued to the drivers screen with the speed, throttle input, and the switching of the Fox Live modes. Awesome insight to what’s happening behind the wheel.
Yes, you get to see clearly here when I am switching Fox live valve modes. Thanks for watching dude!
Back for #2. The footage by I-8 gave a cool perspective of how fast you really are moving through that desert! Loving the different camera angles and the speedometer footage was epic. I would like to hear your thoughts on random gear/vehicle setup used for the different terrain. In a language based off the mindset of someone else going out in the desert with there personal vehicle. Since Fox was there maybe a quick layman’s terms for how you are making these adjustments. My ideas/suggestions are probably to basic/lame. I’d like to hear what you think is exciting or entertaining to discuss relevant to any of the above ideas. Teach us something, and then switch the level of expertise from beginner to advance. Thank you!
Great suggestions! Not lame at all. We 100% want to bring you guys value and knowledge whenever possible and we'll do our best to sprinkle stuff in when time permits. Thanks for watching!
Awesome stuff! The in truck footage was sweet, the camera angle was perfect!
Thanks guys!
Love in car cameras l the sound of that motor ripping through the desert I had good driving 😃😃
You are going to love the next episode. Complete in-car run from qualifying for San Felipe 250
It's amazing how you can see where you're going at that speed desert looks the same I never even saw the road
We test the 5U car on that side of the tracks also, on what looks like most of the same loop. We only get in the 85-90mph range though... Looking super smooth on the wheel Andy! Keep doing what you're doing!
Love seeing the behind the scenes content. Thanks for bringing it back!
Of course! Thank you for watching
Absolutely flying in that AWD👍🏻
I get goosebumps with that sound, very fast car in technical sections, and will be doing a good job in B500.
Same! Yes, we have a great package under us. We are excited for the Baja 500!
That San Felipe chop. That live valve looks dialed
Insane! We were doing 25mph down pole line in my 4runner that’s pretty setup and Andy is over here pushing 90! Crazy how capable these machines are! Keep it up with these awesome videos guys!
Haha it's pretty insane. Will do! Thanks for watching.
WOW!! I knew it was a matter of time where the Live Valve stuff was going to make it into this sport!
Thank you so much for that last in-car sequence, incredible!
We want to see more Andy!!!🤘 great shots in SF
More is coming! 2 more episodes from this series coming up.
Great in car footage. Throttle is so crisp! Intercom audio would be cool.
Thank you! We actually had the intercom audio here but since it was a loop that we did multiple times I didn't need Johnny calling notes. The next episode is in-car from our qualifying run and you will hear Johnny and I talking to each other.
Another great show. Would have been nice to hear what to did not like about the handling as you reset up the car with all the new components.
Maybe something we can do in a different episode
A lot of driving skills at work right there.
Look’n good Andy! Great coverage. Love the “in-truck” views. You all are really dialing in your new truck. Keep your great vids coming.
Thank you for watching! More in-car is noted haha.
Loving the Content Andy, really like to see you on the test track many of us know so well, very impressive what you're doing and so cool you're sharing it with the fans and enthusiasts.
I had to add, cool edit, outtakes make it seem very authentic, talking some tech is really neat to share some of the engine management issues you're tuning and the frankness that you're getting comfortable in the new setup. The sequences with the truck and then the vlog style in the prerunner or with your suit on after the run really makes it feel like we are getting glimpse of what it's like to test from your perspective.
Suggestion: add some time lapse for the prepping/tuning that happens between test runs or the traveling around you do to change locations. Also get some input from your spotters or codawg giving you feedback or rooting you along. We all know you're the man behind #31 but we also know there's supporting staff that is rooting you along. Some of the vlog could reveal more detail about your history winning or not certain races, your motivation and inspiration to pursue the win and the hardships and sacrifices endured to gain the experience you have.
Loved it - keep them coming!!!
Will do! Thank you for watching Dana
Good shit Andy! Love the video
Thanks Justin!
I would really like to see your future videos show how to Tips and Tricks to driving a Trophy Truck :)
Justin Lofton released a series like that not too long ago
@@AndyMcMillinTV Yes he did but he is no Andy McMillen !
Los subtítulos en español me regresan la esperanza de la existencia de un piloto completo! Gracias por trabajar un extra para poder comprender!
Sick 🤙🏼😎
Thank you!
The truck is looking AWESOME bro..
Love that Gibbs engine and the sound of pure PissedOffness. 😄😂 Loving it.!
Hahah pissedoffness I like it
@@AndyMcMillinTV Lol.. Ya man, it's patent pending but I'll let you use it anytime. 😂😂😂
that was badass, would love more in-depth on the engineering of the truck and shock set up
We can’t giveaway all the secrets! Haha
awesome video series Andy, thanks for sharing with your fans
Can't wait to see you at the 500
Yes! See you at the 500
Content is great.
I like the relaxed, no hype style.
Appreciate your racing insights.
Sweet video. Stoked to see more of the Baja footage. It would be cool to see more behind the scenes action - packing up, getting all of the gear ready, driving through Mexico and just how the crew operates.
whooops amazing sound
Yes sir!
This new series is just awesome! Keep the videos coming champ 💪🏻 See you soon in Baja 👊🏻
THANK YOU! Will do. The next episode drops next Tuesday at 9AM pst
Never disappoints! Love watching the go pro footage! Thx! It’s gonna be a great racing year! 500 is your race!
Thanks for watching Debra!
Crazy speeds 🤯
100%
I like the video with the speedometer on the side, id have two videos for each race one first person where you can see the hood only camera mounted where a led light bar would go. not both drivers so we can feel like we are driving, and one helicopter view so we can see the race the we always see with all the glory (speedometer as well) speedometer helps us understand how fast your actually going. Maybe a little gps map like video game on the bottom right of screen so we know what your seeing . 😁
Good stuff, would like to see more of the technical stuff. ie.. what adjustment are make to shocks and how it changed and your feel of the truck
Awesome video congrats!!
Thanks for watching!
Great footage. The truck is looking and sounding magnificent.you sure had the boot through the floor. Well done guys. All the best
Life naturally as accurate as possible
Wow,that truck is a beast!
It is! The power now is so good
@@AndyMcMillinTV How much Horsepower this beast has?1200?
@@scalercenthusiasm6983 roughly 1000 hp or so
@@AndyMcMillinTV So when will the next episode drop?Have to wait till next week?🤣This series is soooo sick, can,t wait to Watch more!

Haha good to know! Thanks man. If you like in-car footage then you are really going to be stoked on next weeks episode. Stay tuned and turn on notifications.
😉😁 lol that would blow. My riding buddy won state championship after a chain went thru the case. A mile into the race. He wouldn't have had a prayers chance otherwise.
Closing in! Who said we wasn't?
Niceeeee 🙌🏼👊🏼
Thanks Esteban!
Youre racing with live valves? Oh youre spicy
Lies compound. Was a rough way to learn. Always WINNING
Notice more and more dash displays all focused on TP
It's important for sure
G-Force sensors with graphic visualisations and other telemetrics on screen to show what the drivers are feeling would
The 4 the first 2 only gonna be 1 after the first couple times out. Cage testing!
great footage in truck.....I thought the Mason transmission was a 5 speed? ......it showed 6 on your display?......are you going to do Vegas to Reno this year?
I’ve been your fan since you were the little kid racing against the big guys. I am also a mechanic live in Oceanside. Would love to send you my resume just don’t know where to find your email! You rock ma keep the good work
Engine sounds UNREAL! Sounds kinda like RG'S......doesn't he run JG engines?
Good luck 👍race
Saludos buen trabajo 👍
Right on looked slow to me lol just kidding HAULING ASSSSSSSSSSSS
Haha what do you drive!?
@@AndyMcMillinTV LOL A YUGO RIGHT ON MAN SEND AT YOUR RACES BE SAFE DOING IT
A god joke Tesla told me. AC/DC THUNDERSTRUCK! just the song! TSCO can eat ROOST TOO! 3" this overdrive! Lol
Getting back what I lost. The same as riding hunting fishing boating or yachting
What u collect? Hot wheels ? Matchbox? Race CARS? Trucks? In case I see something rare you put into your collection. SEND IT!✌
WHEN IS THE MERCH DROPPING?
We are working on it!
👍
I really enjoy it. Whats the top speed?
Bryce must be fast.
If possible, would you start a race without the fiberglass body?
No because we gotta give our awesome sponsors some love!
so are you able to make shock adjustments on the fly now?
Yes, with the Fox Live Valve
What is the monitor to the right of the driver displaying? gear you are in, and speed? - and the other?
All different
pur full Ethanol make double Engin power 😅😅😅🤙✌️👌🤝👍🦾💪🙏✋🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙅and the Temperature goes for Piston to 1000c°
Are now shocks be able to be tuned by computer?
Is the truck 4wd? I saw c/vs in the front
AWD yes
Conciousness because COVID people suppress feelings. It will HELP someone.
Xtrac or Albins (Weddle) ??
AWD is a game changer. Wait till someone slaps in a Tesla power plant in a AWD TT
Any tips lol😁
850 at best Joe GIBBS! Ha funny
Not consecutive lol😝
NOTICE the only head start I give!
