    Flex 3401

    Does the Flex 3401 have the option of a 3" backing plate?

    No.

    However, it can go down to 4" backing plate using the Lake Country interchangeable backing plate system:

    Is the 3401 gear driven? If so, does it slow down or stop on uneven surfaces of a car?

    yes, it's gear driven which means it will not stop until you let off the trigger...

    It is a gear driven DA. No it is not bothered by uneven surfaces.
