I wouldn't normally run an ad on a guide clip, but TQ has been out of their plated clips for awhile, and the latest I heard they probably would not be made again, or if they did, the price would double ($1.25 to $2.50).
 
Anyway, I got the JK clips in and they look terrific.
 
They seem to be identical, dimensionally, with most importantly, the correct thickness to allow the most popular braid to be fully installed, with adequate retention.
 
Only 90 cents per pair. (Note; I don't accept orders below $20)
 

 

In my testing, the plating seemed great.

 

It tinned beautifully, and my attempts to break off, both a soldered lead wire, and a piece of plated piano wire, were unsuccessful.

Ive used these for over a year now with no issues and really like them

[Jairus]

My favorite!
But I use them with the taper inside.

Don't know why... just looks cleaner.

Thanks for the feedback on them.

 

Glad to hear they are working well.

 

I was aware of them, for awhile, but resisted trying them, as I'm not a real big fan of cloned items, and the "original" was readily available.

 

But now with the TQ clips, not available, their availability from a big company, is a plus.

Latest example.  JK guide clips, Jet Flag guide with a Dubro collar on a 1/32 scale chassis.

For that application, it's fine.

 

But for racing, you'll have a minuscule higher CG, and minuscule less retention friction.

 

Of more concern, for racing, with between heat braid changes, the clip doesn't fit as well in the braid cavity, and could come out a little bit easier, when a braid isn't holding it in.

I used them they work great no problems

I have used them ever since they came out and have NEVER had an issue with them.
