Don't disagree Alien. I have seen some $tupid setups which give heaps of flex but very limited driveability. Better flex than standard is required but as you state must remain balanced. A Zook is light and nimble, lifting a wheel or two is fairly natural, so long as traction can be maintained it is ...

Aldi have a welder for $79.00 (or did last week, usually maintain special prices on these sorts of things) comes with the old style face mask. Then you can save for the auto darkening ones which seem to start around $65-75 (Bunnings, repco etc).
