THE BEEP- We appologize for the beeping in the video. We're not certain what it is. It was not heard in the editing process, but popped up after it was uploaded. The information in the video however is still very helpful.

I have been into rc's for 10 years and I have been using the free traxxas tools the entire time

Best advice ever. Proper tools makes a huge difference. Saves lots of time and hardware. 👍

Just like a real car 🤣🤣 good tools is the difference between lots of cursing and bloody knuckles or clean hands and a smile lol!

Your channel and content have been an invaluable resource for me as I just start getting into the hobby. Thanks for the great content. Subscribed!

Greg, can you suggest one of your videos that goes over changing a vehicle from brushed to brushless and what that entails (other components needed, etc.) Anything would be helpful! Thanks.

The video explanation is very good. Not long ago, I bought a set of this renhotecic brand tool set, and just watched this video to learn how to use it. It is recommended that friends who like to repair by themselves can prepare a set.

"..because I like to tell people that you really should keep your car clean" I do that, I don't tear my car down and deep-clean it, (I never run in water, mud, sand, or other nasty conditions) but can suggest some helpful cleaning tools: 1) The trusty toothbrush, I use used ones (fully cleaned of course), to save money. When your toothbrush gets black and nasty (stop using it before then, or else you'll smear all that stuff around your RC!), use some kind of gentle-ish cleaner (degreaser, rubber remover, ect.) and clean it, rinse, done! 2) Q-tips, great for those small nooks and crannies, I don't need to say any more! 3) Teacup-spout wire brushes, a bunch of bristles arranged in a cone/taperd shape shape woven onto a twisted peice of wire, hard to explain but it's simple, very similar to those nylon straw brushes for cleaning metal straws. Hope this helps, I use all of these tools everytime I clean my RC, they are CHEAP and effective!

Harbor Freight is amazing for this hobby. Tools and powerstations.

I'm watching this 2 years later... Lol. Thanks for the video, im looking to get back into RC cars. I havent heard a flat-head being referred to as a flat blade. Very interesting

Thanks I will be picking up the kit soon. !

Thank you for posting this video. I am new to RC. More newbie videos, please.

Thanks for the great vid! Very informative.

Very cool info for beginners Cheers

I use mine almost every day seems like working on them never stops but it’s fun as hell to work on them too

I definitely need a pit mat for the coffee table lol!!!!!!

Oh man you almost gave me a heart attack with that electric buzz kinda beep, I thought they were coming from my headphones 🎧 , i was like (WTF man, not again)... See i juat recently send back a pair i had bought because they were defective and stopped working. I recently received my new ones about a week ago, so right away that sound scared me man. Holy moly

thanks for all your advice on getting in to rc, i think i think gunna go with a traxxas slash 4x4

thanks alot of great info great video

Super helpful thx.

I know you have a couple magnetic trays! Lolol. Great video. Thanks man.

Just upgraded my stock tools with a 7in1 set that cost $8... I've also got most of those other tools except for the hobby knife and brushes

My TA Multi-Tool set has been invaluable to me...

Just subbed in Hope's of finding helpful newb vids on nitro and on the T-Maxx specifically

Two words concerning tools friends, Harbor Freight. You can get halfway decent tools there. Go for it. The tools you cover are specific for RC. Others to consider are side cutters, specifically designed for trimming plastics and wire cutting. Dental picks are a MUST for RC cars, good for removing small stones from between parts. Get the hex drivers with the ball if you can, they work better in an area where you need to come in at an angle. Invest in a small metric socket set. Things he never covered is a solder station for wiring and I never saw a service stand. A must for working on any RC vehicle.

Can you please recommend a complete tool kit that comes with everything included?

@cliffcampbell8827

I don't think any rc tool manufacturer makes a "complete tool kit" because there are so many different rc manufacturers and different types of rc (i.e. car, truggie, truck, boat, helicopter, plane, electric, nitro, gas, etc.) out there. It would be almost impossible for an rc tool manufacturer to make a complete tool kit and have it affordable and compact enough for travel. This is why there are so many basic kits available for purchase but fewer specific kits and no complete kits.

And when do you have to start taking apart the diff, shocks and other stuff like that? After like 10 runs or something? Hehe. Thanks!

Good info for sure. Just curious, what is the collet size (1/8, 5/32, etc.) on the Dynamite ratchet handle in the kit? Thanks in advance.

I had bought the traxxas tool set similar to the one in this video and ended up having to rebuild my eb410.2 center diff three times because the screws kept stripping out. Definitely a great investment into higher quality tools.

Hi, Very grateful for you. Is there any tool to replace the pin in the wheel hubs? Thank you

Also specifically if you are working on Japanese kits (Tamiya) you are going to want some JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) screwdrivers. JIS looks like a regular Phillips head but it is NOT, the profiles are different and using a Phillips head on a JIS screw will make you crazy over time and ruin the screws.

Liked and Subbed. Just bought my 8 year old daughter a Quantum XT for her birthday. Took it out for first run and about an hour into it we ran into a fence post and broke the pillow ball from the suspension arm ( think thats what it's called) . That said I am good with tools and want to fix on my own. Where can do you suggest I buy parts online? Thanks for the video and the info .

Ball cuffs caught my attention

Nice video

Some of the screws you need a SUPER SUPER TINY hex or star bit and I can never find a small enough bit

word of warning. Don't buy the Dynamite (black and orange toolset). They strip very easily.

One tip is not to cheap out on your tools or they'll frustrate you just as much as the included junk! Especially do not cheap out on hex or torx drivers. $30 for a set of 4 hex drivers? May sound expensive, but when you actually USE the tool you find out quickly that they're made to a higher standard and using better materials, and they just make your life easier and working on your vehicle more pleasurable. My cheapo Chinese hex driver chewed up and nearly rounded out a spur grub screw yesterday; went to my LHS, spent way too much on 4 drivers (1.5mm,2mm,2.5mm, 3mm), but had zero trouble getting the grub screw out even as fouled up as it was. Nice sharp machined corners, correctly sized bit tip (most hex drivers tend to be under-sized in my experience).

I cant find it ANYWHERE lol does anyone know if the Redcat gen7 comes with any tools in the rtr kit? My rig is coming soon and something is better than nothing until I get to the store. Lol

I recently did a 2" extension on my classic T-Maxx and am wondering which body to buy for it, I don't think a 3.3 body would fit.

The Traxxas hex drives WILL snap on you, they are junk. Buy ProTek RC "TruTorque SL" Metric Hex Driver Set (4) (1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm) instead.

Reamer also can be use as a self defense tool. Used once against a robber last year, poor bastard suffer from three hole in his back.

Buy better driverset ive that case set it broke in under a yr.

WD40 is a must...

I don’t dive ,but float,so wrong channel

Second

why 😭😭

MiP

The biggest problem I find is the tools are too damn short for regular human hands. I have no idea why anyone would think a driver of ANY KIND should have a short handle. Not only are they difficult to hold, but they screw your hand up if you need to do something like bead locks on a tire. Forget about any cheaper one size handle fits all st that fits several sizes of driver end. Invest in regular size tools that fit your hand. If the handle comes off, don't buy it. It's GARBAGE. Cheap tools strip screws and wear out prematurely. Spend the money and buy tools that do not require changing heads or multitools. Buy tools with FIXED heads. I learned the hard way, you get what you pay for.
