I thought I went over it, but come back and found something I missed. The Gen 1 cam was also on the 2010 RDT 80, 100, 125.

There may also be some anomalies out there from warranty work where newer cams were substituted after that model was no longer in production. Also at the beginning or the end of some model year production runs.

At one time, you could send in your RDT 80, 100, 125, and have it upgraded to the newer cams like a Telson. so, some of those will have Gen 2 or Gen 3 cams on them. I remember a few of them doing that on this forum.

Thanks Vent ! This clears it all up for me.
Like you said, my DS 380 had the gen 5 cams until I had warranty work done on it and it came back with gen 6 cams on it and seemed to perform better but that could've been my imagination also. I don't own a chronograph so it's only a guess. The arrows were hitting a little higher though.

Very informative post and nice collection you have there! Those Gen 7's are built like a tank!

A generation is a level in a family tree; a new set of descendants .
I have been saying the wrong thing i guess !!!
I have been calling the gen 4 a gen 1 extreme cam and gen 5 a gen 2 extreme cam and the 6 a 3 and 7 a 4 .
but by definition they are a different level in the same family , i will just have to get on board with this ,lol.

I just found another thing I missed in proofreading. This is all by memory, so it won't be absolute. If anyone has a model and year I missed, don't be afraid to speak up or add the information.

I forgot to add the 2012 to the 2011 SLP model, and the 100 for both years. Changes in bold.

Technically there are Gen 4a, 4b, and 4c "Extreme" cams for the 2015 model year. Extremely minor engineering changes to the cam lobe on the underside of the cams. We'll just call them Gen 4's!

I’m not a rocket scientist but common sense might dictate the earlier 2015 Extreme bows may have started with 4a, then some may have been made with 4b cams, and the remainder of that model year were with the final 4c version. It’s also possible very few or even none were built with either the 4a or 4b cams, but I would think the 4c is the only one they were using at the end.

Most likely only Scorpyd would know how many were built with each version - IF they even kept that type of info.

Now this is how you answer a question !! even if just guessing or basing it off common sense !!!!
There must be a reason for 3 versions off the gen 4 cam .
Not !!!!
Read the title of the thread. The question was answered, before it was asked!

First off, I don't owe you anything. Where the hell do you get off demanding anything from me? I'm only answering this for the rest of the membership.

If you were paying attention, they were trying to make a cam for the Orion 175 Extreme work well the ACUdraw. Gen 4a was fine in the Non-ACUdraw bows, as was Gen 4b. Gen 4c was what they felt they needed for the Orion 175 Extreme with the ACUdraw.

The title says "Scorpyd Production Cams". If they were mentioned by me in my thread, then that means they were all 3 used in production. And yes I know exactly what the differences are, but no sense in confusing anyone since they all use the same exact string and cables.


Here is a pic of Gen 4a cam lobe.

Gen 4b cam lobe.

Here is a pic of a Gen 4c cam lobe. Also note the beefed up web behind the lobe profile.

If you'll notice Gen 5, 6, & 7 all have the same cam lobe profile runout as the Gen 4c. Not a coincidence! All have been ACUdraw friendly.

If you weren't so damn combative in my threads, I might be willing to share more. BUT!!!!!


I could post a pic of a Gen 4b later, if you can get your #1 Sycophant to go away.

This is why I rarely post any new threads, because sure as the world, someone will come and ruin it for the rest. They don't have any substance to add, just a whole lot of drama and BS.

Now every one wins valuable info from that question .
Win Win !!!!!

By the way it is a free public forum , i can't tell people what to say or not say .
I can only control my own actions .

I edited that second sentence above 4a, it should have been above 4c as follows.

Gen 4b cam lobe.

Here is a Gen 3 cam lobe on the left compared to the Gen 4a cam lobe on the right, and why they used it on the ACUdraw Extremes. Limited to the Orion 160 Extreme until Gen 4c.
Gen 3. Gen 4a.
