Don, at the very beginning of that video I thought we were going to get to see the Chaparral jump that hill! That was a cool video.
I think I recognize that crazy driver behind the sticks there. Don, that G50B motor in that machine really makes it fly. Those Chaps are somewhat heavy arent they?

Here's a little low quality teaser video. We hadn't had rain in quite some time and they were the only mudholes left but they were full of ruts
You guys are too much fun in those vids
Here's a short video of the Attex Li'ltruck out in the wilds of West Virginia. It's powered with a 440 Cuyuna.

Okay, here's a brief and rare appearance of the R. The quality is low because I had to put it through a pretty ghetto filter to brighten it up a bit as I did this at sunset last night. There are lots of little saplings scattered around the yard that I'm trying to avoid, then after my wife is sick of the dog bugging her, she decides that the ATV would make good prey. She does this a lot, and likes to "head me off at the pass" (my dog, not my wife).
This might look sorta fast, but it's actually a LOT faster when you're in the cochpit (the board won't let me spell "coch" correctly) making 1000 adjustments per second to keep the machine trending in the general direction you desire. I'll be honest; stuff happens really, REALLY fast in this thing. I don't know how I haven't ended up in an accident yet. There are no "brakes", you just ease the handles back a bit, but the machine is so light that you run the risk of a 40mph endo if you get too overzealous. Friggen' scary. You can only steer when all 6 wheels are on the ground, which is why most of the time the RPMs are down below 3 grand. There are a couple good pulls, though. I start off a little bouncy and head for the shed immediately. Apparently, the "R" wanted the D/stock to come out and play, too...
The clutch is set up to engage at only about 2-grand since the engine is already making plenty of power to get the machine going. It disengages quickly too, but it's still a game of "hit the throttle, then coast".
