Please share the best sales you are finding. Tamiya has a pretty good sale going on right now.

This looks pretty sweet.

 
$239.99 for the Axial SCX10 II Deadbolt. This is a pretty good deal. Horizon did have it on sale as well, but they are no longer showing the deal. Oddly enough, it is sold and shipped by Horizon Hobby on Walmart.com. They have a marketplace kind of like Amazon.

Killer deal on a set of good dual-stage foams and tires!

Proline 1/10 Dual Stage Front/Rear 1.9" Rock Crawling Foam (2): XL Tires - $7.99!

Proline 1/10 Hyrax G8 Front/Rear 1.9" Rock Crawling Tires (2) - $12.80
 
RC is just another excuse to buy tools, right?

Home Depot is going to have this Milwaukee screwdriver combo on sale for $59 for Black Friday. There isn't a link currently on the website, I'm guessing it is being held until Friday.

Good deal. I have one, but don't use it for RC. I use my Dewalt gyro instead. Does this clutch adjust down enough to not strip plastics? I don't think I've ever tried it.

It's borderline. I used mine until I picked up the gyro, but I was always careful using it the tighten into plastic or printed parts.

Not sure on this particular one.

I have a similar Bosch driver and the #1 clutch setting is good for M3 screws into most plastic and #2 is good for most M4 screws into plastic or M3 into metal.
 
I am way more impressed with the DeWalt gyro than I expected.
The gyro control is a gimmick that I honestly don't need and it certainly could be more compact, but overall I do like it. It works and the clutch is sensitive enough for the plastics and small screws in RC.
 
I thought the gyro would be a gimmick but find it easier to control than a variable speed trigger for the small bolts on RC stuff. I even got a set of small hex drill bits and will drill the occasional hole with it.

Also, more in thread topic, check the horizon clearance sale. Not a black Friday thing but lots of weird closeout stuff. When parts for older trucks.

I got 4 pairs of tires for $40 shipped.

Everyone says the Dewalt gyro is the greatest thing in RC tools but I hated it. If I could buy one with a standard variable speed trigger, I probably would already have it.

I use the Fuel 2spd version of this for work. Even though it's precise enough on the clutch settings, I feel like this brushed screwdriver version would be even more delicate. I'm definitely grabbing one of these at 59 bucks!

Also not as big of a deal out there, but you can get a Trailrunner RTR at $240 and receive a free Enduro 24 through Amain at the moment.
 
I thought I could be slick and have it delivered instead of going the day of. 79 bucks delivery, ouch.

I use the Ryobi and Skil versions. I only run the screws in or out just close enough then tighten the screws by hand.
I bought my bro the Hart wand version. It works great also.
Anything to keep from getting that arm pump from twisting wrenches.

I picked one up today and it's HEAVY compared to my DeWalt gyro. Nice tool but probably too much for RC M3 screws.
