What Happened to Scarlet Bandit Monster Truck?

The Scarlet Bandit Monster Truck has become a fan favorite in the world of monster truck racing. The truck, which was created by the late Mark Hall in 2004, has been a mainstay in the sport for the past 16 years.

The truck is driven by Mark’s son, Neil Hall, and is based on a modified Ford F-250 chassis. It features a unique paint job with a bright red and white checkered design, as well as an aggressive four-wheel drive setup that gives it an edge over its competition.

Since its inception, the Scarlet Bandit Monster Truck has been an unstoppable force on the track. It has won numerous events at multiple venues around the world and is one of the most popular trucks in the sport. The truck’s success has led to its own merchandise line, which includes t-shirts, hats and other items featuring its iconic design.

In addition to competing in monster truck races, the Scarlet Bandit Monster Truck has also been featured in various television shows and movies. It was prominently featured in a season of MTV’s Nitro Circus series, as well as an episode of Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws show.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck in 2020 when Mark Hall passed away after battling cancer for several years. His son Neil took over driving duties for the team and continued to race with his father’s beloved truck until it was retired from competition later that year due to engine issues.

Since then, the Scarlet Bandit Monster Truck has become something of a legend within the monster truck community. While it no longer competes on tracks around the world, it still serves as an inspiration to many aspiring drivers who hope to follow in Mark Hall’s footsteps one day.
