Since I started this hobby about 2 years ago, I've followed the traditional wire insertion method, using eyelets.
Eyelets work well but there are several different sizes (diameters) and coupled with the different braid depth.... It's becoming a bit of a mission to find workable guide, eyelet, braid combinations.
Since thunder slot released the Lola kitted out with the thunderslot mk1 guide, I've started playing around with set screws (grub screws) to hold the power wires in place.
Using UNC4-40 set screws seems to be the new approach but I've found that the screws can cut into the braid strands.
I noticed that one of my slot-IT cars was supplied with the set screw fitting method.
Who's using what? And why?
