We have made a mistake on the AndyMark website, incorrectly stating the wrong alloy of aluminum for these extruded churros. They are actually made of 6005A aluminum.

As for using them on an FRC-sized drivetrain as a cantilevered axle, I would not recommend this, for many reasons stated previously in this thread.

Sorry for this error in stating the wrong alloy! The website is now corrected.

Sincerely,
