Slava Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I hope this is the right section to ask the question. With Flex coming out with 4" backing plate will Adam's offer Flex 4" pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Salva, I would say no, with the force rotation on the Flex it would be hard to hold a 4" pad on. IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Not possible actually... The backing plate incorporates a gear like part in the rear of the backing plate that drives the forced rotation part of the movement. Because of this the design of the backing plate is limited in how small it can be made: The smallest plate they make for the 3401 is 4.5" I believe, but when you add in the outer diamter of the pad you're back around 5" + of pad and its not enough of a difference vs. the standard size to really even bother with it.

02Xtreme07ss Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The smallest plate that Flex makes for the 3401 is 4 3/8". LC has an interchangeable plate that will be released in January. It has an intermediate plate with the gear drive and then an interchangable velcro backing plates in both 4" and 6". Kind of a cool concept, will be interesting to see how it performs in the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the concept plate at SEMA.... didn't seem stable enough, and word was it was still a long ways away from release ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh...see that was exactly what I had feared when I looked at the pictures. They are currently saying it will be shipping in Jan, so I hope they either improved on the design or redesigned that prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have my kit in about 1/1.5weeks Dylan. I'll report how it holds up/works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Cool. I'll be interested to hear/see if it changed from what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
