RECANTING my earlier reply... Ok... this Walthers Proto Max coupler is one that I have to admit I have NOT tested... in fact I have never even seen one before. It must have gotten by me somehow... thought I had seen them all. But as for all the others... not for me.

Note, however, that the gear box holes don't line up with the ones manufacturers put in their cars/frames/bodies, so some custom and creative installation may be required (or just use the center screw hole only and occasionally straighten out the coupler box). - Peter.
