This one hit the dock today. A good friend sold it to me and I am excited to have it home. Its funny because the body on it used to be on a QRS truck I used to own years ago!!! Anyway, the truck looks great, maybe only 3-4 runs on it. It has the bigger engine and mechanical reverse gear. I am suprised at the quality of the frame and components. Its pretty good.

well, I would not go as far as saying "some of the finest". :D But its pretty good. Especially compared to other new era cars I have and had.

Bob, I am still trying to talk my wife into a bigger garage. :lol:

Like I always say... "The harder you work, the luckier you get!"

Those two dont come around too often, just like every 1/4 scale! I actually passed up a new era stadium truck a few years back for $900!!! I passed it onto a member here, so atleast someone got it. There is a guy here with a dunedigger under the name of killermolly?

Does anyone know how tall and wide those tires are? Are they specially made by New Era or are they kart wheels (in which case, what is the size)? Thanks!

Another question: are those BRP wheels (4" x 3") with 1" offset? How are the tires mounted on the wheels? Thanks in advance.
