Aluminum and flex aren't 2 words that I'm used to seeing in the same sentence

If someone wanted to tune with chassis flex, then why not make a couple different thickness options in carbon fiber like they do with touring cars?

Speaking of which, there's been a lot of talk about Ty Tessman running inverted shocks at the Nats, what I think would be really cool instead is for off-road manufacturers to take a look at what Awesomatix is doing with their LCG shock system to further carry over high traction racing concepts that have been dominating the on-road industry:

Also note that they already include the MIP Pucks/Rollers style shafts in their kits, that would be a nice feature to have out of the box, or should I say a "Stock Version Kit" with all the lightened drive line parts already bundled so consumers don't have to buy twice to get lightened parts
