RC Power Drill

[MiniMorris]

I would like to know what small power drill you use for your rc's? I am lookin for one to speed up tire changing process, is there one with either variable speed or a torque clutch that will go low enough?

[Charlie-III]

I use a battery powered Makita drill (it has a clutch on it & is variable speed) at times, it's a work tool so I didn't have to buy it. Others use similar battery powered drills.

I have also seen people use "battery powered screwdrivers" which are usually slow but single speed & reversible.

Either route can use a cut down Allen wrench, or a "hex driver bit" or screwdriver bits.

I have a Dewalt Battery screwdriver that has a clutch on it and is adjustable torque. It takes all standard hex bits and works great. I have used it for work for years on very small items and it has worked great.

I just got this one black friday can't decide if I will use it. I wish it had a lower torqued option so i wouldnt strip out the plastic threads.

3-4 torque settings should be fine for the plastic

Get an extra set of beadlocks (and foams if you're using the same set for different tires). Much quicker and easier.

I took out the two NiCd sub-C batteries in a power screwdriver and wired it to the 3.3V output of a PC power supply (same one I use for my charger). It has just enough torque that if I stop quickly I don't strip plastic, it's small and lightweight, and I don't have to worry about recharging or replacing batteries.

I also prefer the slower speed, going too fast in plastic can heat it up and deform it.

Been using this for a couple of years now for RC, my cars, motorbikes, boat and around the house.
Been absolutely faultless and the clutch is very accurate.

Call me old fashioned but I use one of these. Clutch works perfect. Batteries last forever it seems and I haven't stripped out any screws yet.

I think maybe you have your threads mixed up.

I use the snap-on power screwdriver. Works great, clutch is spot on, comes with two batterys so when ones dead you have a charge one. Price is a big downer though. 200$. Hope this helps(:
