The Scrambler is an even tougher choice. The 1.75" ID is too small for eggs used by TARC since they can be up to 45mm (1.77"). I don't know why Estes chose that size. We are seriously considering getting thick mylar tubes in either ST-18 or ST-20 series, which would work for TARC. Centuri's Egg Crate used the 2.0" which is a much better size for eggs. But on the other hand, the Scrambler was a cool kit even if large eggs would not fit!
