The change i made to the flex plates are to have the flex plate pivot ball housing go throgh the flex plate so the flex plate now lays at the centerline of the pivot ball. This eliminated the flex in the housing and also strengthened the pivot ball housings. Breakage is greatly reduced. Running them straight back instead of angling in reduced the rear steer and also increased the strength of the plate. Being that the force is placed straight into the flex plate, the pod can not be compressed into the chassis plate. With all of these changes, we managed to increase rotation and free the rear of the car up in high traction conditions yet not shed too much to where it will be hard to drive on asphalt. In a nutshell, the car is more durable,easier to work on, and handles like a ferrari. Just what i was looking for.
