Adding... I can spin my Hudy ball-end drivers all day long with complete ease and precision. I think that it's the longer shaft length, the spring-steel shaft, and the size and shape of the handle. There's something about turning a smaller lightweight aluminum driver handle with cylindrical symmetry that makes it very enjoyable. Also, longer shaft/ shorter handle means that it reaches many places that my other drivers can't touch. Also I like breaking loose stubborn screws with it because it's as if the spring-steel mimics a built-in breaker-bar. Just some attributes that I've been noticing lately. |

I have had these for 6 years or longer, never had one break or show signs of wear. I have a set of metric and standard, used them on 1/8 scale buggies, many times I thought I may break one but never did, I had to use one in an impact driver and had no problems. https://www.amainhobbies.com/dynamit...dyn2920/p25099 Last edited by Dragaddict; 04-06-2018 at 04:18 AM. |

| Re: What hex drivers you using? Zero issues to my recollection, although the smallest shaft is a different color so I may have replaced it at some point. I seem to remember a driveshaft pin that needed heating to remove due to the previous owner using red Loctite on it. |

Very compact kit though, I've found it really handy for trail repairs... | |

| Re: What hex drivers you using? I found that out the hard way !! Now that I'm about done with the build Amazon has a pop up ad with some that are machined vs stamped

Do any of you have long or extended hex drivers? The SCX10 II spur gear cover, for example, is a PITA the remove and install with my MIP drivers. I'd like something long enough to clear the shock towers. It's either that or I have to use ball drivers and struggle with the screws because the shock towers are directly in the way. |

I'm using Dynamite ones, I've had them for a couple years and they've worked fine.

What about using the one like you use in a power screwdrver then use one of the extensions for it. MIP Speed Tip™ Hex Driver Wrench Set, Metric (3) 1.5mm, 2.0mm, & 2.5mm #9512 https://www.amazon.com/Breynet-Magne...70_&dpSrc=srch | |

| Re: What hex drivers you using? Well make that (2) 1.5mm tips broken, both tips are now lodged in pinion gear set screws I'll have to drill or dremel out at one point. I did have another VP replacement tip waiting. Guess I'll give the MIP tips a shot next. |

One thing I really like about the MIP drivers is the fact they taper down from the diameter of the shaft to the hex, which should make them much stronger than a blunt edge where the hex in ground. | |
