I recently bought a used micro crawler and it didn't come with any tools.
My smallest allen wrench will not fit the hex heads.

I've been searching all over the web for a size but haven't found it. I seem to recall reading somewhere that they are .05" but I'd like to be sure before I by another driver.

Also, Does anyone know the size of the hub wheel locks?
I don't have anything to fit them either.

the allen is a .05" for sure i just got a nice integy driver the wheel nut is either 4mm or 3/16 i think 4mm though being that theyre metric thread

Thanks man!

I hate to buy the 4mm because I'm thinking of buying the BWD wheel locks.
I think I'll ask around here and see if I can borrow one.

im pretty sure the bwds still use the 4mm

His site says that the stock losi 4-way wrench will not work and to get a traxxas one... I have 3 of those!

The .05" integy tool is a sweet piece to have. Makes it so much easier to work on.

hey guys what about the rest of the hardware sizes?

Pretty sure all ive ever used on my micros was:
.05" for all the tiny hex hardware, link balls
1.5mm for the servo screws
2mm for the kingpin screws
