Anyone remember the MRP High Roller?

[Z]

I was browsing eB- er- an auction website when I stumbled across a

truck listed alongside Tamiya Bruisers. The seller said the truck was

called the MRP High Roller, however, he didn't have any pictures. The

truck was already to much $$$ for my taste, but now I'm all curious

about this "MRP High Roller". Does anyone have a picture or info about

it? Is it a "scale" truck, and does it have speeds?

 

Thanks.

The High Roller was one of the first monster trucks.  I seem to remember people complaining of cheap plastics and bad gears.  I believe it had like 3 or 4 shocks on each wheel.  I don't think it had two speeds.  It was shaft drive though.

And it could float like a boat too [] I have the RC car action that did a review of it way back when , though I allways thought it looked kind of goofy  ( actualy have all of the RC car actions from issue #1 threw the erly 90's ) .

The High Roller does seem to sell for a lot, but it is nearer a Clod than a Bruiser.

The MRP High Roller was one of the first MT's.  Came out during the initial boom of the Monster Truck world.  The time when the Clodbuster, Double Dare, Royal Ripper & all those other dinosaurs were born ! (GOOD TIMES !)  Very hard to find now I think.  Here's a link to a COMPLETED auction for some pics:
