Adding accessories to an aluminum profile rig can either save your expensive hardware or cause major assembly headaches. While one of these products protects your wheelbase from unwanted leverage, the other is a basic fastener pack plagued by frustrating quality control.
The Trak Racer screws suffer from frequent quality control issues, including stripped threads, burrs, and poorly shaped hex heads. Many builders report receiving incorrect sizes or missing pieces, leading the community to recommend buying standard M8 hardware locally instead.
The Handle is a highly recommended, low-cost upgrade that actively protects your expensive direct drive wheelbase from being used as a hoist. Conversely, the Trak Racer M8 Screws are difficult to recommend at $7.12 given their poor quality control, making a trip to the local hardware store a much safer bet.
