they are both basically the same size. The New era is a little taller. I prefer the QRS though for driving. The new era long shocks makes it sway a lot and the frame looks cool, but it has very little ground clearance. The qrs handles better and the ground clearance is MUCH better. Now the Degree mt is much bigger then both!!!

We used to sell those bodies on LRU. Think I only sold 2... not enough interest.

this is the only pic I have on my computer I can find right now. The blue truck behind the QRS is a New era MT prototype and very close to how they ended up making their truck.

hmmm, I looked and I cant find it there anymore. Its a video gary conley made when he built the truck. Pretty old. It has it driving around too.

I forgot to mention, the QRS has 4ws where the new era was just 2ws. Also qrs used a very powerful servo where the new era was very under powered. Not bagging on anything. They are both awesome trucks!!!

here I am putting around with my qrs.

dan, that belongs to a member here. He got it pretty hammered but has done a ton to it to get it back into shape. It had hydraulic steering. that's some of the mess you see there.

dan, I searched for it somewhere else and it looks like its only on spike or you can pay for it on amazon, apple store and its certainly not worth paying for. Sorry man.

very nice find! where was this listed and what were they asking if you dont mind me asking? that truck is mine and i still have a lot of work to do on it. I have changed the shocks and a few other things. I havent messed with it in a long time. here is a pic of where it sits now. I hope you enjoy yuors and make sure you dont drive it on pavement or a hard surface.
