| Need some screwdriver/bit help!
Okay so I have 2 losi mrc crawlers that are 1/18 scale! I have been building them up for awhile and using some cheap ass screw driver with changable bits and then some small allen wrenches. I want to upgrade to some nice screwdrivers. I looked at the bits. I mainly use a T8 and T10 and then a 1.5 allen and a 2.0 allen. Should i be looking for hex,torx,ball? what ones do i need to get? I am on wiahtools.com and looking but there are so many options i want to make sure to get the right ones! |

Everyone will have their favorites. I've had a set from EDS for 3 years and love them. EDS RACING PRODUCTS ONLINE STORE - RC TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES - (Powered by CubeCart) I have some ball drivers but rarely ever find a need to use them. They will strip out easy. Some hex drivers in the sizes you need will do you just fine. |

| Re: Need some screwdriver/bit help! For the size of the bolts we mostly use, I don't like ball drivers either. I have them just in case but rarely use them and only to get things snug. Then I tighten it the rest of the way with a regular hex.

I rarely use ball hex on rc stuff as it's too small. Just found a supplier of torx screws and use them as much as possible. Buy the best tools you can, preferably machined finish so they will fit well. |

It seems that the Dynamite hexes are pretty popular here. Any opinions on Duratrax tools? I was also considering the DTRX0292. Duratrax® Ultimate Tools About the same price as the Dynamite DYN3080. Dynamite RC: Machined Hex Driver Set (4) Metric: Dynamite (DYN3080) Thanks! |
