they are 2 completely different types of trucks! scorpion : 2.2 wheels, 12.5" wheelbase, 3 link suspension, single gear transmission, made for ROCK CRAWLING..
the high lift : 1.9 wheels, 10"???? wheelbase, Leaf spring suspension, 3 speed tranny, made for trail running and small rocks

don't get me wrong, the high lifts are a blast to drive around in the woods. and the scorpions will be a blast on the rocks..

all depends on what you got for running areas and what you will be doing most of the time..

a leaf sprung vehicle won't be able to go where the scorpion can, but the challange is 1/2 of the fun....

enjoy

I would. You can run the Scorpion as a comp rig or you could make a scale build out of it as well.

Default Scopion all the way

I would definently go with the scorpion. I had a hi-lift, just to pretty to take out and beat the brush with. I am going to get a scorpion myself. Just seems like a much more versatile rig. Which ever you use just have fun and hit the rocks. Crawlin rocks.

I own a high lift and soon a ax10. Like said they are 2 completly different trucks. Both are great at what they are built for. Scale looks-High lift, rock crawling/performance the Ax10. If I could only have 1 the Ax10 gets the nod by far on price alone.

You could always get the scx 10. It's kinda the best of both worlds.

Default Both could do comps

You could put the Hi-Lift in a Scale Comp. If you want to do some serious rock crawling then you sould go with the Scorpion.
