Yeah, spot on Billy Baldone. :xyxthumbs:

An excellent picture indeed. I love the feel of the Flex PiXiE in hand, so light & nimble, well done Flex, well done. :props:

Funny you mention YouTube ... why is that Mike??? Is YouTube not your thing? Imagine the Mike Phillips Channel - the content would be immense!

You don't like the Rupes Mini LHR75E?

Good catch.

Just forgot about it - was kind of rushing in that moment. Had testing to do and other hot projects before I could leave today for Mecum Auctions.

For those wondering - the RUPES Mini would be about the same size as the FLEX on the far right.

Thanks Mike.

I'm sure I thought about asking you for this too! I have the other pick saved on my phone and my PC. But was curious about the G8.

One more ask, please: Profile shot of the G8 with the GG3 (or all, if you want).

If you're too busy to get to it, no worries! :)

Thanks for the pic above
 
Im thinking of the pixie or ibrid. The i brid looks smaller but i cant think of anywhere head size would make a difference except mat e under spoilers. Anyone use both and can think of reasons to choos ibrid over pixie? Im leaning towards pixie so far.

Thanks,

In my experience with both the RUPES Nano & the Flex PXE 80 12-EC (PiXiE) it’s not so much a size difference, there really isn’t much in it between the pair. The PiXiE feels more like a polisher in hand & without weighing them the Flex feels lighter & more we’ll balanced.

In terms of performance - night & day difference in my opinion. Whilst the RUPES Nano is capable in rotary configuration, it just simply doesn’t work in free spinning DA mode. The Flex however - DOES.

Then we have the comparison between swapping out configurations too. Fiddling around with tools to change the RUPES Nano from rotary to the two free spinning DA options compared to the tool-free quick change system of the Flex PXE - as a detailer/shop owner, time is money & well, it’s just so mush easier. :buffing:

Thanks for getting this Aaryn.

Normally I do list the tools, I could have been in a hurry for a hot deadline when I wrote.

I've added the left-to-right list to the first post in this thread.

:bump:


I saw my original picture on the AG Facebook page and one of the first questions was,

Where's the RUPES BigFoot Mini?


When I took the original picture, I simple forgot to grab it and include it in the picture. So to be thorough, I re-took the picture today and updated the first post in this thread.

Yeah.... I can't believe I forgot about the RUPES Mini when I took the original photo.

My picture was shared on the AG Facebook page and someone asked "why" no picture of the RUPES Mini?

So because I like to make everyone happy and consider myself and

Equal Opportunity Exploiter


I simply lined up all the tools and took a fresh pictures.

Came in at a good time. You were also able to add the new Griot's
