Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^{ n}\ (n\geq2)$ be either an open ball $B_R$ centred at the origin or the whole space. We study the existence of positive, radial solutions of quasilinear elliptic systems of the form \begin{ equation*} \left\{ \begin{ aligned} \Delta_{ p} u&=f_1(|x|)g_1(v)|\nabla u|^{ \alpha} &&\quad\mbox{ in } \Omega, \\ \Delta_{ p} v&=f_2(|x|)g_2(v)h(|\nabla u|) &&\quad\mbox{ in } \Omega, \end{ aligned} \right. \end{ equation*} where $\alpha\geq 0$, $\Delta_{ p}$ is the $p$-Laplace operator, $p>1$, and for $i,j=1,2$ we assume $f_i,g_j,h$ are continuous, non-negative and non-decreasing functions. For functions $g_j$ which grow polynomially, we prove sharp conditions for the existence of positive radial solutions which blow up at $\partial B_{ R}$, and for the existence of global solutions.
