Scorpion Racing Aust dealer

[Sith]

I rang and spoke to Ryan at RovaCraft today as any idea's on springs and what makes are avail for a 3 inch lift and he told me to send an email via the Scorpion -Racing for spring rates and prices .I stated that others had sent prior emails and they were unanswered ..... he was dumb-founded as to why they wouldn't have been answered .

So if you have sent an email direct to Scorpion -Racing aka RovaCraft and not recieved an answer please let me know and i will pass it onto Stuart tomorrow for you .

hth
cheers

Pass on my good wishes after 6 months of trying to deal with them.

Trev.

Steering wheel hub and extended mirror arms for a 90 Defender in Toowoomba. He should know who. If not don,t care anymore.

[sclarke]

i spoke in person to Stuart and he assured me he had what i wanted in stock
Then he went on leave and the order never was sent. when i asked 2 weeks later where it all was the boss told me they never had it in stock. Not and item they carry...

Personally i think they are useless. Good luck trying to get truth from them.

[Frenchie]

Their shop is nice, lots of goodies in there, but good luck trying to order anything. :?

[Sith]

Hmmmm he never rang me back :oops: :oops:

I will give him the benifit of the doubt , and i will call again tomorrow .

This time i wont leave a message with Ryan .... :wink: would be a shame for them to lose valued customers .

[Sith]

I have spoken to Ian today who confirms that Stuart got the message as Ian himself actually gave it to him directly .
I couldn't get Stuart again as he had gone home :roll: and he never returned my calls :roll: :roll:

I helped guide Ian thru the forum to this thread , and showed him :wink:

He said he would get Dave [owner] onto it 8) 8)

As I say it would be great to have a supplier like Rovacraft onboard , esp with such a base of L/R owners here .

[stuart]

Good Morning to everyone,
Please in future email stuart@rovacraft.com.au if you wish to be quoted on any of the scorpion products or if failing that call and ask to speak to Dave/Iain or Myself (08) 9 377 0080. We do get a huge amout of enquires on these products so please be patient and help us by leaving correct contact detail with area codes if in other states.

I plan in the next week to list a few specials on the list for users only so lookout for them...

Regards
Stuart Waters

G'day Stuart https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
It may be a good idea to contact "Incisor" whom runs this site, as it could well be advantagous to your business to have a direct link https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ as there are many fanatical Landrover offroaders on the site and word of mouth sure travels fast https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

If you are emailing england scorpion then i know why you don't get an answer. That is because of the ar88hole Colin that owns the company. The bloke is a knob. and terrible to deal with. The reason why you have not got an answer from them about spring rates is because it is a gueessing game with them and they don't know the rates themselves. hence why anyone who knows they are doing in the Uk does not touch them with a Barge pole. If you want a supermarket kit to make the truck look good parked at work or at the supermarket. Then they will do the job, for about 6 months but if you want a kit for off roading th then forget it they will not last 5 mins. In the UK we all use OME as they are seen to be the beat surpension for Land Rovers on the Market. If you are going to use the truck for off roading.
The only good thing that scrap iron racing do is copyed from thses blokes in Itay who make some loverly stuff that can be added with OLd Man Emu springs and make a great set up with out the problem of crappy springs and shocks go here to see there kit for Land Rover http://www.equipe4x4.com/inglese/INDEXeng.htm

[crump]

WooHoo, theres some hot gear on SR's website, has Rovakraft got a pricelist?

[LRHybrid100]

I hear you Reads - Scrap Iron have a bad rap in the UK.

Best go to the original company Equipe in Italy - the Scrap is just a copy of theirs, or their UK supplier http://www.lrsoffroad.co.uk/home.htm

many bad reports on scrap iron racing.

Have never been able to get specs on springs or any other component for that mater.

this is the problem as when they wear out you have no idea what the spring rating was to replace them.

[cro]

reading this tread with great interest.. I have to agree I personally went into the Scorpion Racing shop in London and got pretty much the same service.. didn't want to know me and had no interest in answering my questions , all I got was you would be better of getting a different car and just buying a suspension kit the guy didn't seem to know anything about.

I will give them a miss from now on.

Not only that but you have no idea of the final ride hieght ect.
not hard to work out when you have the info but as si wont part with it or they have no idea what their spring specs are.

[barney]

do what defute did, bring everything back from the UK except the springs and get ultimate suspension to do the springs

[HSVRangie]

I made all the components I wanted to suit my own set up.

springs were sourced from Rangie spares untill I can be bothered geting a set wound to the compression I want.

just an update here, Stuart has emailed me some prices on some gear I was interested in, still more to come, roll cage etc.. If this comes to fruition, would there be any interest in a bulk order? No committment at present of course, but expressions of interest on SR's products would be handy, and possibly we all benefit.

[barney]

i know there are a few guys in the lroc interested in the 2" drop rear shock mounts for the defenders

[WOLLAPIT85]

I was contemplating some of there gear...
But since some of the above posts I am looking else where.

[Mudnut]

I too am interested in some of the gear. Looking at the rock sliders with tree sliders/rails mounted. Have kind of a quote, but am not sure if that includes postage to Melbourne. Got a quote from the NZ distributor, and was better priced item, but $500 dollars postage.
Sounds a bit steep to me.

Hi crump,
I would be keen - I have a whole list of goodies from them that I would be interested in - especially if they could give us some kind of forum deal like Supercharge Batteries have. I am in Sydney by the way.

Cheers,
Cameron
