the lastest word from Flex Tek:
As mentioned the video shows an extreme case of flexing the FlexTek arm. The amount of leverage that is being placed on the arm in that video is substantial let alone you really had to reef on the bar to make it flex. The everyday operation of a Tmaxx will never excert that kind of force into the arm. There is not enough mass in the truck to do so. In addition the drive line has the ability to slide within itself and this inconjunction with flex of the arms should compensate for huge stress being put into the CVD. Aluminum arms will not hold a candle to FlexTek. We have in excess of 4 times the strength with the added ability to flex. Aluminum will simply bend or break under the same circumstances. It comes back to the modulus of elasticity of the material. Hope this answers your questions.
