In the vast desert expanse of Laser Town, Larry Chen meets Cody, the man who wears many hats - mayor, owner, and janitor. The town, a container settlement near Johnson Valley, transforms into a bustling city during the King of the Hammers event, swelling to a population rivaling small towns. Amidst the dusty landscape, Cody unveils a new marvel - a moon buggy engineered for the treacherous art of rock crawling. This specialized vehicle, a blend of a Rock Bouncer and an Ultra 4 rig, is a compact powerhouse designed for scaling boulders with surgical precision rather than breakneck speeds.
The moon buggy, a one-seater wonder, boasts features like rear steer, low center of gravity, and a turbocharged Ecotech engine that churns out a respectable 260 horsepower. Stripped of all comforts, the driver perches on the skid plate, offering a raw connection to the unforgiving terrain. As Larry delves deeper, Cody sheds light on the buggy's air shocks, hydraulic steer, and cutting brakes - tools that bestow the driver with unparalleled control in navigating the rugged landscapes. The buggy's unique quirk of water-filled front tires for balance and stability adds a touch of ingenious engineering to the mix.
Under Cody's purview, Laser Nut, a business specializing in laser cutting, crafts the flat parts for this mechanical marvel, ensuring precision and quality in every component. The buggy's GM Ecotech engine, tilted for optimal visibility, coupled with Cody's sons' youthful fearlessness behind the wheel, promises an exciting future in rock crawling competitions. Larry marvels at the buggy's intricate controls, custom wheels, and laser-cut rotors, each element a testament to the fusion of innovation and craftsmanship in the world of extreme off-roading.
