Re: SLU-70 Lugs
We switiched all our 6AWG wires to the SLU-70 lugs this year .. we havent had any problems with them at the competition (but we did have 1 wire slip out of the lug before we shipped)

In Sac, they checked the lugs also. There were numerous annoncements over the Pit PA system for teams looking for the lugs.

A word of advice - Dont order them from some supplier off the net. Check you local hardware "superstore" like home depot. We got 2pks of the lugs for $1.79 each. The other local hardware store "Ace" wanted $2.79 for a single lug, that didnt even look like it was the right one. So shop around a little bit. I'm sure teams will be greatful to borrow some if they need to.
