When it was going up that creek bed i was just picturing one of those huge rocks flying into the driver or passenger, alot of time and money would have went into that but i bet its worth it.

It looked pretty new so I think that would be covered under the warranty.

That is impressive but i would rather go with "The Ballistic", designed and built in W.A. by Edge Products. It is powered by a Subaru WRX powerplant and I guess drive train too.

http://www.edge.au.com/The_Ballistic

Some of Edge Products highest volume customers are Arabs to whom they sell and send six off road buggies containerised at a time.

These have to be the best desert warfare wagons ever designed and built.

Fitted with 1000 cc + motorcycle engines they are capable of 100 mph across the desert terrain with the capability of 2 soldiers aboard and with a machine gun or rocket launcher attached would be a devestating weapon against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

A whole lot better and less exspensive idea than those $1mill crates our guys are getting around in over there now.

If the Army adopted the idea and went all out by allowing a budget of $100k per vehicle, I am sure it would get more than 10 times the effectiveness of their current cavalry vehicles.

Unfortuneatly Defence Spending has been issued orders from the pollies to not buy anything Australian and only buy second hand crap from the Brits or the Yanks. (No offence Desert Yank)

Australia's Defence Personell are not being supplied with the best possible tools to work with.

Nah. I dont think they sell the Ballistic yet. Too scary with the public laibility thing I guess.

With the motor cycle engines I was referring to their other juggernauts like the Pirana or whatever.

Have a look around their web site. Good pics and vids and great designs.

Too much noise and unnecessary flash

Kato, prob just as noisy & flashy (when it was new). The main diff is, your vid shows a driver using skill to climb, not just thrashing it & wrecking his buggy like the guy in the first vid.

[edit] I agree with fs on this too - seems very destructive, although I assume the surrounding area is designated for being trashed by the climbers.
