I picked up a set of drivers from this brand a while back when I bought my SCX10. It included two philips heads and a flat head as well

Hex Driver, 1.5mm

Can't find the entire set I bought, but I got it at the local HobbyTown near me. I've liked them so far...

For $25 or so, You can pick up the machined Dynamite Hex drivers (1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm) It is almost impossible to strip the tips.

The red knurled handled ones, I've got 2 sets and love them.

These are the first set I bought, and the only set to have never broken a tip. I have broken Losi, Proline, Integy, and even the Dynamite higher end lines. The heavy knurled red grip hexes are the most durable. Like every man in this world, I only wish they had an inch longer shaft. Once I used a longer set I retired the red ones to my extra box.



Standard


Metric

You and me both!

As well as Losi specific tools

I have been using these for about 2 years now, never broke one and they have a nice long tip for getting into tight spots

I have tried several sets and the best I have used are the ones I use now from EDS. I had hex screws I thought were stripped with other tools and the EDS drivers took them right out. They are a little expensive to start with but they have saved me headaches, time and money buying more of the cheap stuff. I just got them individually and got the ones that I need. If I run into another size that I need I will order it but as long as he makes these I will stick with them and not get anything else.

I agree.

I was afraid at first when I realized the tips were HSS thinking they might be too brittle and snap. Haven't had any problems thus far. With the tip being harder the tip doesn't round and treats the screws better especially the ones that get removed and reinstalled a lot.

I've got a set of the dynamite hex drivers. great drivers but I've been looking to cut down my to go tool kit some. anyone know if these are any good?

FT 1/4" 5-Piece Power Tool Tips Set: Team Associated - Champions By Design - Nitro and Electric RC Cars

or something along the same line. my friend got my a percision tool kit with a nice driver in it with a 1/4" quick change connection on it. I can take some pieces out of the kit he got me that I would never use and slide the 3 standard hexes right in they place.

I've been thinking about this set for an on the go set. I haven't picked them up yet due to the price. They are similar to the ones you've referenced but with a handle.

i have the same set and love them you can use in hand or electric driver

[tweeter79]

Dynamite hex drivers are great! I'm not a huge fan of their nut drivers though, the smaller plastic handles can be hard to grip sometimes. They should use the same grips as the hex drivers.
And don't bother with ball end drivers. They strip more easily and it's hard to keep the screw on the driver while trying to install it on your truck. (ie. motor screws)

Another vote for the Team Associated 8 pc kit. I got it from Amazon for $10 less than anywhere else.
