Slot Car Racing subframe connecters? any good?
hi,
i was searching for some subframe connecters and found these on Slot Car Racing site, they sell for $ 75, view them at http://www.slotcarracing.com/itm00008.htm
are they good? anybody has them? or should i just get the BMR boxed ones?
what do you all think?

I bought some of those for my old V6 years ago.All they are is boxed steel.They are not the right length and they have no clear way to install them.You take them to a shop and the guys are like 
Go with BMR,they aren't much more and they fit PERFECTLY with no doubt as to where exactly they go.If you wanted to get the slot cat design then you could just go to the local steel shop and buy two 6' pieces of boxed steel and have them welded on for a lot cheaper than $75.Good luck.

exactly..
they are poopies..
I met the guy and talked to him.. He acts like he knows his stuff but in the end.. umm no..
I went to his shop.. No race car there.. so I stopped believing anything he said.. He basically is just selling crap.. the adjustable panhard rod is crap.. You can build the same thing he sells. the most expensive part of those are the eyelets where you bolt them to your car.. and you have to change them out yearly..
Ugh.. I used the sub frames and they worked but also made me lose my panhard.. the boxed steel covered the tow holes and some dolt used my panhard to hook onto to secure on the flatbed.. ugh..
