Is anyone using the Scorpion brand roller rockers?
Opinions, anyone know good or bad.
Thanks

We have not used the Scorpions but I've seen a lot of people breaking them. We use the Yella Terra Ultralites and they've been working great.

Scorpion's had a lot of breakage as stated. They were supposed to re-design them but I am not sure if they did and if the new design is out. They have stood behind them, but that's not really a part you want to fail. I have had good luck with the YT's as well.

Never used 'em... curious.

Can anyone add to the above comments?

p.s.- seems like they want to (based on ad literature) make rockers with any maker's logo etc... has any brand turned up being Scorpians (like Jegs/Summit/Buttafucco Racing/etc?)

I was wondering that same thing. I have a set of Jegs coming this week. They looked like pretty decent quality from pics, but pics aren't everything. I'll post some close up pics when I get them and maybe somebody can post a set of scorpions.

Also saw a brand PRW in stainless the other day on ebay and I'd seem them before in a Scoggin Dicky catalog. I was wondering if those were any good or some chinese made stuff. That is not a part I would want made in China. I think they still have a ways to go about figuring out metallurgy.
