Its Alive

That thing just looks fast, Marc. Can't wait to see it. Great job!

Thanks Guys! It sure seems fast. I will have to confirm a GPS reading that I took a week ago that says it's fast. it's actually easy to drive. Braking is easy to control, accelerating out of a corner is a little twichy. It's a pig in the water. The tires are all wrong for the water. Any suggestions for tires? I think I will install chevrons for Phillipsburg. Any drivers out there that want to take a crack at games at Phillipsburg let me know. My reflexes are not the same as they were in the 70's.

I'd like to take a spin in it.

I have one and I know it'll sound silly...

If you're running with the same tires you had on at CR two years ago, I'd suggest switching sides (left and right). I think the paddles you have scoop up so much water that you're actually fighting inertia from the water that gets thrown forward when the paddles come out of the water.

I believe that with the scoops turned around (away from the water), they'll actually work better.

Great job on the build, that's a quick machine!

A big thankyou goes to Don for for taking the video.
My Scrambler now has a name. "Blackbird" I am not sure who came up with it Don? or 6x6? Thanks! The name fits.

jerseybigfoot ,


That Scrambler 6x6 of yours is smoking fast!

Too much power, not enough wheel travel. Still can't wait to spray you with some mud on the first corner.

It really does sound awesome.

Great video, really is a quick machine! Sounds great too.

JBF- The machine's way fast. The longer wheelbase seems to be much more stable than an Attex-esque stubby platform- hmmmm.... I didn't coin the Blackbird name, but I think I heard it first from George.

Whipper- If the track's smooth, you have your hands full, Buddy!
