I must say you did a great job putting that in there. I give you a big pat on the back. It looks great.

Wow! I hope we get to see it in a few weeks. I don't want to have to wait any longer than that.

Looks like I'll have to shoot with shutter priority to catch this one.

Thanks Larry, I was trying to upgrade the original Scrambler plate clutch arrangement due to its lighter weight and better efficiency but I had a spare T-20 that appeared to fit.

Very nice work. Your tig welds look nice. I think there will be some Attexes waiting for you in Philipsburg.

Thanks Whipper but I can't take credit for the tig welding. I have a friend that will tig about anything, just don't ask for it in a hurry. I think it's more tig art for these guys. My welds are more "get-her-done" and clean up what looks ugly. Welding is truly a craft that is mastered with practice. Unfortunately I don't have that much time to practice.
The Attexes in Philipsburg I am sure will have a weight advantage and maybe the drivers more stick time. I will be there for the fun of it. There is something soul stirring in driving a fast two stroke machine.

Amen, Marc.

Had a chance to do a litttle testing today. The engine clutch hooks up well but the trans side converter opens too quickly not allowing the engine to rev out. Will work on it this week. The runs past the camera were not at full throttle. Driving this beast is a blast.

Very cool Mark. I can't wait to see it in person. Looks like you might need the salt flats to see how fast it can go.

I took the liberty of re-posting the link here so it would be easier to get to.

You don't have to embed the video, just post the URL. The site does the rest for you

YouTube - Project X test run

edit: Cool video, that is one of the coolest looking AATVs and it looks fun to drive!

Seems to be a screamer. That roll bar looks great. Great vid.
