Weird, yet kinda cool… and definently different. ---

> [@Real Deal](#): > > I like:tup: but how strong can they be? I’m only guessing that it’s lexan, don’t know for sure. Lexan has better impact/shock, deformation, and strength properties then aluminum. It takes quite a bit to heat absorbtion for lexan to bend as well. It actually may not fair that bad compared to aluminum. ---
