300...(what's your name man..lol) I think you are either Right...OR, it was different stages of the same vehicle...and yes it does have rear steering

I got those images off the Scorpion Site.

Ummm could be, pretty sure the vehicle was at Billing early this year. Sadly my PC at home is bollxed and I can't look at the pictures I have of it on there.

http://www.scorpionracing.co.uk/ this is there website, is it where you got that pic? I must have missed it on there.

I know they are always changing stuff on the Discovery. I can't remember the chaps name who owns it (Dave maybe). I've spoken to him a few times though.

I know he runs their Extreme kit and was pretty much the first prototyping it. He used to run 33" Simex Jungle Trekker 2 tyres and wheel spcers with Mach 5 rims.

As far as I know this is the same vehcile in it's previous guise:

I hoonestly don't know, at a guess I would think it was a look a like. There are loads of them over here. Still it's an awesome machine.

I know the owners rolled it a few times while compeating in rock crawling events. He was talking about removing the roof at one stage, but that was about 2 years back.

The Camel DI is not the same as the orange one. The Camel DI (Original Trophy vehicle) belongs to Richard Dangel who works for SR. He is currently doing a frame off rebuild on the DI and will have some carbon fiber panels (including a new lower roof line), 35" tires with a 2" suspension lift and 1" body lift. The overall roof height will be about the same as a DI with a 2" lift

Cool, well I learn something new all the time. And yeah I think that is his name, damn I've spoken to him like 4 times in the past concerning my own rig. Guess I should have remembered lol.

I am sure some of you guys have seen me before, not usually on here, but thought I would chirp in here. Read the whole thread, and I think I am going to get some longer bump stops....as I agree with the physics there.

I drive this daily, and so the 3" lift with the 2" body works well, stability wise and for off roading. Makes for a decent ride on both.

Here are some pics. FWIW, on D1, change the Rotoflex to a U joint.
