Can the new flexible technic axles, as seen in ZNAP sets and some
new technic sets, such as 8448, actually be use as axles? From some
pictures in the new S@H andretail catalogs, it seems fairly clear to me
that there are
1. short round axle-diameter disks towards the ends that won't allow
axle-compatible parts to be slid on unless those are really soft, and
2. rod-diameter ends such that there's no usable crossaxle attachment
even at the end.
And if that's so, these axles are just yet another (non-)decorative
bendable cheap part (apart from maybe transmitting a pushing force
better than flex hoses), and there's no axle-ness to them at all...
Is that so?
