Agreed I have tried a cheap one but you do hear of bad things
Like the car at gti international this year that ploughed into the crowd on the 1/4 mile
I use a snap off one on Jaffa

Have you guys got a link to a 'real' one? ... I'm struggling to tell the difference.
What is the actual brand name?.

Driftworks should be ok though.
