You'll only grin until you see what they run like! Ok that's my opinion as a monster truck builder. I'll let you form your own.

I've seen them sell for 30.00 and once in a while, as high as 100.00
Depends on how many guys "GOTTA have it".

I would guess the trucks themselves would sell for about $75 a pair. I have a couple sets myself and if I was to sell them, I'd need to get at least $75 a pair. I've never run them, so I can't offer an opinion on that, although the tires look rock hard. And of course they are huge.

I ran it for about 2 feet down my strip at 25 volts,it was fun to watch.This one has a rear gear slippage so the rear wheels dont pull,just the fronts,but the truck is dead mint looks wise and does run out fine..hmmm...might hit the bay with this thing!;)

We have sold the pair of monster trucks at the shop for $65 to $100 for the pair.
They are pretty good sellers as they become somewhat harder to find.
Joez right on about $30 and up sometimes apiece.

They were sold as a set. In good running condition they hold some value in the collector market.

You could always hang onto it and build another monster of your choice from a die cast body: :p
