Thanks for the photos.
You could take a picture over BP? Have the same gear that the Flex?
do you think that a new BP of 4" could be adapted?

Hi mate,
are you going to buy a Flex? This machine is very expensive here, around 420 €
I was interested, but I have to think about it
Best regards mate !!

Re: Flex XC 3401 VRG Review w/ Pics

It seems to be a great machine but don't understand the difference in price between USA and Europe

Once Edge makes an adapter for this, I won't have any excuse not to get one...

Other than the wife and budget!

I have a Flex in hand and will be shooting some in depth videos in the next couple of weeks of it in action and comparing it to a PC. I'll post when they are up and on my site.

Hello Mario

Yes i want to buy the flex or similar. In autocare.es we can found this machine around 300€... in ebay, from germany, you can found in 320€

Why this machine is more expensive in Europe than USA if Flex is made in Germany????

No, the thread size for the Flex is M8. I can't remember what the PC thread size is but it's not metric.

Aaron from Edge is making me an adapter for the Flex though which I will be testing out for him. I REALLY didn't want to buy all new pads for this machine. So, I emailed him with the idea for a new adapter and he was VERY accomodating.

That's good stuff!!! I learned the most on how to use my PC from your videos. Very, very, helpful and informative. If anyone hasn't seen them, I would highly recommend checking them out. Stll use my Flex using some of those same techniques.

+1 what DJ said. I remember watching your videos when I first got my PC. Very helpful. I've recommended that site several times to ppl just getting their PC. Great site, great videos and great info. Thank you for taking the time and doing this.
