I completed the trackwork on my layout with the scaletrax. About half the layout was sectional track, the rest was flextrack. I used a power drop for every 4 pieces of the sectional track. I did not use any rail joiners on the flex track and I did a power drop for each piece of it. I staggered where the rails joined by at least 8 inches. It made smooth curves and tied back into the sectional track easily. I have not problems with trains running on it. I think as long as you stagger the rail joints and use fairly wide radius for the curves there is no need to use rail joiners.
