Why not just say this when the alloy axle was first mentioned then

I won't be buying one anyway as my SupaStox is planted and has won the last 4/5 A finals at my club so I don't see the need to be honest and wouldn't want to upset the balance of the car the way it is, I am on my second steel diff axle tho so I can see how an alloy one would bend easily.
