I would look for a higher production 6x6 like an ATTEX, Max or Argo if you are a newcomer to 6x6's. Scramblers have very light duty transmissions and drive systems.

I think it depends what you want it for. I've had three 6x6s, all Scramblers. Never had much interest in ATTEX, Max or Argo. I'm sure they are all technically better machines, but the Scrambler is just as much fun and doesn't look like a tackle box with wheels.

I will agree the Scrambler is one of the best looking AATVs ever made, but try and make sure its a running example, they are finicky to get working right once worn out. If you have the capability to do a full part breakdown and restore its doable, but otherwise not so easy. The steering is pretty easy to adjust so if it doesn't turn quite right that's fine, but if the chains keep coming off and the sprockets are no longer aligned (which tends to happen with only one tension point and no frame) they can be very difficult to correct without taking it all apart.
Also note these do NOT have reverse, that was a big turn off for me.
Low ground clearance and no reverse, plus chains that like to come off if you go over very bumpy terrain from body flex. I liked to think of my old one as a Go-Kart. They'll go about the same places as a 2wd kart, but if you want better off road look for a more heavy duty 6x6.
