I only recently got back into RC cars, but throughout the years/decades have always kept at least one Tamiya tool in my box. They tend to fit a lot of things and it is much easier to use than a wrench or pliers. They are a perfect fit for many...

if you want to use 1/8 standard wheels then you will want to use a standard 1/8th hex drive ( don't know what that is ) not the Tamiya style drive flange

Thoughts on using ultrasonic cleaners for rc parts? If you have, what products did you use? Is it safe for the plastics? Any suggestions/ experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

I use them daily at work, hot heat setting with the proper cleaning fluid for what you are cleaning.
We use one part Mr Clean to 3-4 parts water to clean anything. You could use Simple Green in the same formula for RC parts.
