Re: Supa BEAST backing plate swap
Mike, maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but is this the new 3401?

Re: Supa BEAST backing plate swap
Looks like a 3401 with a facelift. Looks like a more ergonomic body. Might make taming the beast a bit more comfortable. I would much rather have that new forward pad/handle on my 3401.

Re: Supa BEAST backing plate swap
Just to add....
This is also from my write up here,
NEW FLEX XCE 3401 Corded and Cordless Polishers!
Note also the RED 5" backing plate. This is will be the factory installed backing plate for both polishers.
A 6" backing plate will also be available.
This morning, I installed the 6" backing plate.
My write-ups are usually very thorough and detailed. I rarely leave anything out.

Re: Supa BEAST backing plate swap
I might go for the cordless one!
I just bought for the first time some Rupes and Uro tech big 7" pads to use with my flex 3401 on my fathers truck. I was thinking the same as you. Trying to plow through it in 1 day start to finish. I figure with the 7" pads and Meguiars 1 step I should be able to get it done.
I know the beast can churn those big pads no problem. If anyone was wondering the new rupes show car polish for forced rotation machines works great.

Re: Supa BEAST backing plate swap
I’m glad to see this option available. I myself prefer to run the 6.5 inch pads. This allows the user to choose to their liking.
Can wait to get my hands on the Supa Beast. My Original Beast has been just that.... A BEAST!!!

I love the cordless CBEAT but I want to comment on it versus the corded version and I've been very consistent with my comment when talking in person and typing on social media.
I love the gear-drive cordless CBEAST. Not having to mess with a cord for a tool that has ZERO pad stalling issues is great.
If however I'm in a HURRY to get the paint correction step done as fast as humanly possible - then I great the SUPA BEAST.
No cordless polisher will ever has as much power as a corded tool.
This is why sometimes you see me sharing a detail job with the CBEAST, (I wasn't in a hurry), and sometimes the SUPA BEAST, (I was in a hurry)

Big pads on the BEAST - the only way to plow through a car detail.

Re: Supa BEAST backing plate swap
Mike or anyone who can verify for sure,
1 Do the backing plates come with the Allen style bolts? The old plate on my finisher has torx. I’d prefer the Allen style.(the CBeast comes with the updated BP and Allen bolts) I want to update my corded finisher.
2 Are both size backing plates in stock at AG the newer updated versions with the locking tabs?
Thank you
Jim
