Only 20 QRS trucks were built. I have had both. I actually still have number 20. They are far superior over the new era with the exception of the plastic gear cases. Number 20 came with aluminum ones. Early models had black which where super brittle and the grey ones were pretty brittle. He gave out fixes though. it was a metal plate that went between the rear and back cover.

QRS or New era trucks in nice condition run in the 5k range.

Thanks Mike, can you tell me how I can find out what number it is? Does the frame have an ID somewhere? . Cheers for your help.

I may have parts for the diff., if it's the same as what came in the stadium truck. The plastic housing was shot, which I'm guessing is wrong with yours. But if I can help let me know. I modified a new era rear to work with the torque tube on mine but that was an expensive solution to my problem.

Very nice truck ! But in my opinion its not worth 5k, no disrespect . But its not a four wheel drive or a four wheel steer truck, plus its issues. Thats wat i see in the pics , never the less its a nice piece!!!

Wow. 5 thousand. Lucky you. Mikes numbers are usually pretty close to what things are worth. I'm sure there's parts out there some where. In the 1/4 scale world. Nothing happens over nite. Stick with it.

there are no numbers on them. They were all built the same except the last one. Early ones had black cases. They all came with 4wd and 4ws. I suspect the rear is still good but the front is the broken one?

Here's my take on these monster trucks at least from my experience of owning a New Era. You'll need a very large room to display it, preferably on the ground level with no stairs as they are a bitch to move let alone carry. Anyway, I sold mine for 5,500. owned it for about 6 months.

Kaddy wrote:Hi there, I've got this Monster Truck I've had for the last approx 20 years. It's been in storage for the most of it (19 years), as it has a broken diff. Unfortunately in NZ no one has parts so it has sat in storage. I've found this page and thought I'd put it up and see what it's worth as I'm sure you'll know more than me. It's original, no modifications I'm aware of. It has had very little use, tyres etc like new.
I pulled it out of storage yesterday and started it up, runs good.
Any ideas on its worth or a price for a replacement diff?
I've seen some really cool examples on here and believe this would fit someone's collection nicely.
Thanks an advance for your help/ suggestions.
Do you still have truck for sale?
