Actually, I believe the UE racer x cost more than flextek especially with the rear setback arms and front high impact arms. With flexytek you get cast titanium arms that are the same design and geometry as the stock arms. They flex when hit just like rpm does for alot less money. The down side to this is I have heard alot people complain they bent hinge pins like crazy including ti pins because of the flexing.I also heard cvd's take alot of punishment also with flexytek.
The UE racer x arms have improved geometry that removes bump steer and is completly adjustable. All UE aluminum is T6 7075 aq billet and is stronger and harder than any aluminum you can buy. Although brillant looking, I assure you they are strong and can take a hit. I have jumped 10' in the air and landed hard without any issues. If you do the same with flexytek you will probably end up buying another set of titanium hinge pins. That can get expensive over time @ $20 a pop. Stock plastic drives and diffs wont last a day with the power of my setup. That why I run titanium center drivshafts with UE hardened cups, steel UE cvds and 1/8 scale 8 spider diffs in UE ultralite diff cases, This is probably most bullet proof set up you can get for an emaxx. My truck is all aluminum but it isnt the cheap stuff made by integy. I really dont need to defend UE aluminum products they make the best parts money can buy period. You may pay more but in the end you know your getting strength and long lasting quality.
