Scat Crankshafts

Post by Boaski » Sat May 10, 2025 9:08 pm

I guess I was pretty clueless on the availability of new stock replacement Scat T crankshafts. How long have you guys waited when buying one recently?

Since they have a CHINA connection, you may be waiting a while, not to mention a price increase due to tariff change. A Californian who posts on the Parts For Sale Forum has announced that he is making a counterbalanced T crankshaft. Check that forum for his latest post. I don't know if he has them ready to market.

We recently received our backorder from SCAT. No price increase. All sold. We do also stock the Bruto Counter balanced crank and have a few remaining on the shelf.

From what I understand, Scat normally produces T cranks in batches a few times per year. For the most part, each batch goes to filling the vendor back orders leaving just a few for stock inventory throughout the year.

Thanks for the replies. I hope the new cranks being produced work out great. I'm just not cut out to be an early adopter, so I would like to see more of them on the road.

Thanks to the MTFCA forum I found someone that has a new Scat crank & am going to pick it up this week. I'm happy to find one as I was becoming concerned as to whether or not the car would be back on the road this summer.

I checked the Scat website last weekend and they show T stroker cranks in stock.

I ordered one on 5/12 and it's arriving tomorrow. I'll probably regret not buying two but they are not cheap.
