| Scorpion Vs. Jeep
We know the chassis is the same for both... But it would be nice if we could get some numbers from guys with both or either Body weight Body width Overall height (mounted on chassis) Approach and Departure angle Can the cage be removed from the scorp like the jeep's cagework and windshield can? |

Numbers for the jeep: Body weight = ~3 pounds, not sure on the accuracy of the scale Body width = 11 inches Overall height (mounted on chassis) = 14 inches Approach angle = >90 without stinger, little less with it departure angle = ~80 You're lucky I'm bored! |

im picking up a scorpion and a friend has a jeep... my wife runs a UPS store so i will put both bodies by themselves on the scales and get an exact reading down to the oz. it'll be about 2 week till i can do it though... so... sit tight. Body wieght is the only thing i care about but i will try to get the other reading to while im at it. i suppose..... |

Why the hell does body weight matter when you have a gazillion pound battery?

I have one of each as of about 3 hours ago. The weight difference is as follows: NONE. I weighed each of the bodies and mine weigh exactly 3 lbs a piece. The dimentions are totally different. The body on the Scorpion tucks the tires much better. Approach and departure angles are better also. |
