Watching Auction Hunters right now and they just pulled a HPI 5B 5T one that looks like a 1/4 scale monster truck out of a storage container. The guy that bought the 1/4 scale truck $4250 and said it was from the 90's and one of only about 20 made if I heard him right.

Missed the episode. I did find the preview on the Spike website. Didn't show much of the truck though. I'll check to see if they put it up On Demand later.
 
It looked like a custom built rig. I sure as hell wouldn't have paid that much for it though. At least they were right about the 5b and 5t being worth around $500

The guy buying the truck called it the Holly Grail of 1/4 scale and said it was one that any RC collector would want to have in their collection, it also appeared to have 4WS and was shaft driven 4WD if that helps at all.

Fixed it. :D
