Default Scale bolt tool

I got a set of used rc4wd 2.2 wheels with 16 tiny scale bolts holding the wheel together. They did not include the little tool for them. Looking around, I have found some 2.5 mm nut drivers, but with tax and shipping they are about 20$. Anyone know where I can get one of those tiny bits that goes in the end of a hex key? Even just to use for an hour?
Thanks!!

its easier than that. just make yourself a "tommy tool"
you can use a metric screw and slide it over the scale hex head and tighten them.


my pics are down, but here is pics of the origonal tommy tool.
its a traxxas driveshaft pin with a handle brased on. you can also use a screw.

if you have 2.5 scale head, then you need to use a M3 socket head cap screw. it has a 2.5mm hex in it.

if you have M2 scale bolts. then need a M2.5 socket head cap screw

The 2mm one is too small, these are 2.5.
That tool gave me an idea! I used a 2.5 mm cap head screw, and put 2 locknuts on it, tightened them together against each other, then put a regular cross wrench over the nuts.
Working so far!
Thanks y'all!!!!
