Hello,
here are some pictures of Guido´s ( the owner of the New Era MT, called 4x4mann )
ebay fishing
Greetings Maik
and with a 1:4 Peugeot Yankee ( 2,5 galon gas tank, red ) under the MT :
That is one VERY lucky guy. I tried to buy it from him and he was not budging. Thats ok though.
Here is one I just got. It was made by QRS and has a transmission with reverse, 42.5cc engine and a 5000 oz servo. I have another one of these trucks comming at the end of next week too, so thats makes 3 MT's for me
Mike:
what did pay for that QRS truck for the seller to end the auction. I know it was on ebay. also, what kind of MT are you getting? are you intrested in selling any of them?
Thanks
actually I did not buy it from that guy. This is the one, but I bought it from the guy that got it off the auction. He ended up needing his money back. The other MT that I am getting is the one in the pics under the QRS MT section. Its the same truck, but just totally stock.
I never sell my goodies!!!
The new era frame has more detail and the axles are a little nicer. Other then that, the QRS is a better truck. The new era has less ground clearance and it is unstable around corners. The shocks are way too long and create a bunch of "sway" in the truck when you turn. The new era also uses 2 1/4scale servos in the front and back to turn the wheels and its not a very good setup and not strong enough to do the job well either.
The QRS truck uses a $500 Tone 5000 oz steering servo that has linkage going to the front and back used for the steering. This servo turns all 4 wheels when the truck is at a stop. The QRS also handles MUCH better when driving around. The QRS came standard with plastic gear boxes, although the one I have has aluminum ones. They were available for a short time.
with that said, I would be happy to own either!!!
