Carrera track clips revisited

[oldtom69]

has anyone found a good alternitive to the the newer style red track clips?The problem seems to be the plastic"dog"has too rounded edge and doesnt seem deep enough.Any force at all and they come apart enough to leave a visible gap between track sections.The U shaped clips on my older track pieces seem to hold better,but cant be used on the newer track sections.I've been adding in as many of the #85205 metal clips as I can fit in.I realize most of my problem wouldn't exist if I wasn't running a 4 lane banked oval.I've even resorted to super gluing some sections together[don't plan on dis-assembling]I'm also constantly adding more and more supports to the banked turns.Love the track ,oval is scary fast,which also adds to the issue.

P.S. found the best supports are 1inch wooden dowels,cut to needed length and glued to the wood table but NOT the track sections
