Buying guides
Choose RC car tools
Check the fastener sizes, measuring ranges and chassis fit that matter for your setup.
Match RC hex and nut driver sizes
Read the fastener itself or the model parts list before buying. The tool for a recessed screw and the socket for a wheel nut use different working surfaces.
Read guide ↗Choose shock and steering service tools
A maintenance job can involve a shaft, a cap and a ball link. Match each point to a tool instead of treating every small jaw or opening as interchangeable.
Read guide ↗Choose RC ride height, droop and alignment gauges
Start with the setting you want to measure. Choose a gauge with the right range, measuring surfaces and attachment for the chassis you work on.
Read guide ↗Choose a bearing tool or a pinion puller
Identify the part, the access path and what the tool must press against. Then compare the tool range with the actual dimensions.
Read guide ↗Choose a body reamer and trimming tools
Separate the job of opening post holes from the job of trimming an edge. The shell material, desired hole and access around the cut guide the choice.
Read guide ↗Choose a pit stand and a repair kit
Choose the bench support and the hand tools separately. The stand needs to match the chassis contact points while the tools need to match the car's fasteners.
