Re: Do all these eBay Rockers Suck
there is a lot of the pro comp junk on there I do mean junk so be careful
Re: Do all these eBay Rockers Suck
I was going to buy them from summit, but if I could find some shaft rockers at a good price that would be great. I run Jesel's and T & D's on the other motors but thats not in the cards on this build. I just see so many on eBay just thought I'd see if anyone had good luck with any of them.
I know to stay away from procomp but saw some other stainless ones and other brands I knew nothing of...
These are the ones that caught my eye the guy has a ton of feedback and sounds convincing

Like I said for the money I felt comfortable paying a couple hundred bucks for the scorpions (V6 Build) I was looking at the endurance series. But was just curious if anyone had any luck from all the different ones I saw...

Re: Do all these eBay Rockers Suck
I looked at the eaby adds you posted and those are procomps . That seller which I wont say his name but he sells alot of the procomp stuff.
Re: Do all these eBay Rockers Suck
Yea after looking at all their feedback I saw they sell a bunch of Chinese parts was hoping someone had some parts that worked... I know what I get when I order the scorpions and can always call them if I have problems.... The Yella Terra stuff I saw didn't look bad but I didn't know much about them or where to get them.

I haven't used them but have herd good things about yella terra. Good luck with your build
Re: Do all these eBay Rockers Suck
The Yella Terra brand has been around (successfully) for way over 20 years. It is Australian made, and in Australia is regarded very, very highly. They are not new to the US market, and they would compare to Crane, Comp, Lunati, etc.IDEALER wrote:Yea after looking at all their feedback I saw they sell a bunch of Chinese parts was hoping someone had some parts that worked...

Re: Do all these eBay Rockers Suck
Here's a pic of the adjusters from some of the Ebay stainless rockers. I used them on a budget build like you're refering to. I would buy some used name brand before buying new cheap ones. These had very little time on them.

The great circus showmen and promoters (P.T. Barnum, Ringling, etc...) leaned that people love hyperbole. This is something not lost on Skip White.
Save up a little more for the Scorpion rockers...
