Pirate's Curse

Pirate's Curse is a custom 3D bodied monster truck owned by FELD and driven by Camden Murphy. It first debuted in Atlanta 2016 originally driven by Steven Sims in the Fox Sports 1 Championship Series. It was rumored that Captain's Curse would be retiring and that this truck would be replacing it. However, Captain's Curse still competed alongside Pirate's Curse for one year, until it was retired when Alex Blackwell switched over to Megalodon in 2017.

Trivia

 * The original hubs were going to be Gold, not black and red.


 * Pirate's Curse's chassis colors actually mirrors that of Captain's Curse, being that Captain's Curse has a red chassis, red rims, and black wheel, while Pirate's Curse has a black chassis, black rims, and red wheels.


 * Pirate's Curse was the first Hot Wheels toy to get the brand new BKT tire style on the toy's tires, including more realistic grooves, and the BKT logo engraved.
 * The truck has has poor luck when it comes to the Double Down Showdown (Young Guns) during the truck's first two years in competition. In 2016 Sims Jr was the fast quailfier but then red lighted in round two and then proceded to roll in the turn, he returned to perform a backflip in the encore. In 2017 Murphy red lighted three times, twice in qualifying and once in round one. 00018063-2.jpg
