Review: Kamikaze Aluminum Beast Backing Plate

Support our work by checking out below: https://carzilla.ca/collections/brand... What other cool stuff do you want to see!? Today we have for you a review on the sinister-looking, aluminum Kamikaze Beast backing plate; it houses the standard M8 female mount but does not come with the male bolt. This will fit any M8 compatible polishers, and will automatically fix the mark3’s shroud rubbing and void the need for the “washer mod”. There’s nothing like the Beast on the market, it’s elegantly CNC’d and crafted, it is said that it takes an entire day to CNC and hand finish the plate. Let’s have a few moments to admire this beauty. Alright, the Beast weighs in at 142g, Rupes’ stock plate’s at 124g, Tacsystem’s aluminium plate at 126g, and Shinemate’s new HD plate at 146g; more on this one in future videos, it’s basically a heavy duty non-flex plate without going full aluminium. The focus here is the stock 124 grams Rupes plate vs Beast’s 142, we’ll be testing its power/rpm stalling and see what kind of vibration numbers we get with the Beast, as there’s a 13% weight increase of 18g and we all know even a few grams, a switch between foam and microfiber can distort the balance. The power/stalling will be once again tested with a 2.5lb load and here it is: It’s interesting to see there’s not too much difference for speeds 4 to 6, all within the margins of error, where the difference comes in are in the lower speeds 1 to 3. Speed 1 sees a healthy 17% increment from 263 rpm to 317. A 317 rpm can translate to another polisher’s speed 2 or 3 already, a sub 300 rpm with just a speed 1 is very impressive. Speed 2 went from 369 to 408, and speed 3 from 436 to 482, both around a 10% increase. To achieve a 10 to 17% increase in efficiency while drawing a similar amount of power from the wall is a welcoming sight. From speeds 4 to 6 we didn’t see any increase in rpm, but a slight decrease in the power draw of 2~3%, about 5~8 watts. Please note we’re only testing with 2.5 lbs, because as load increases past 2.5 the difference may widen. Also, note, and this is very important: RPM is not the entire story; imagine polishing with and without a foam interface, or a thick pad versus thin, the rpm will be the same, but real power transfer from the machine to the panel is drastically different. There’s certainly a tangible reduction in polishing time; or let’s just say the plate gives your polisher an extra speed, you can feel it right away as soon as the pad touches the panel. Good power sure, but is it smooth and balanced? Now the vibration numbers, foam first: Good numbers, slight increases of 0.1 to 0.2 m/s2 across all speeds, with speeds 5 and 6 only went up by 0.1. It’s expected to go up slightly knowing how well Rupes fine-tune their polishers for their OEM equipment. Now the microfiber: Speeds 1 and 2 registered 0.6 versus 0.2; by the way, anything under 0.8 to 0.9 is comfortable and commonly found on other entry-level polishers. It’s 1.1 to 1.2 and above that’ll give some arm shaking. Speed 2 to 3 sees an increase, and speed 5 to 6 is buttery smooth, interesting to see the extra 18g on the Beast has minimum impact. When the weight is nice and close to the polisher, the lesser the impact. And finally a word of warning: this plate packs heat, literally. Make sure you let the plate cool down in between, or the glue that holds the velcro together will start to separate and come apart.
