Lightweight Aluminum Vex Metal Kit

If you're a Vex power builder, the new Aluminum Metal Kit is a must-have addition to your parts assortment. Fully competition-legal, these authentic Vex metal parts are less than half the weight of standard Vex galvanized steel metal parts with even greater strength. Add complex mechanisms to your advanced robot and minimize the negative impact of weight on speed and performance. Aluminum parts are available only as a kit and are not sold individually.
