Hi guys, i just tried to use a Tamiya multi tool wrench on some RC10 wheel nuts. Of course it was a fail due to different sizes! Is there a multi tool out there which fits both front and rear RC10 wheels?
I'm taking a closer look at that 4 way, and it's different than the one I have. I am having trouble figuring out which one it is, but I have one that I know has at least a 1/4" and maybe even 3/16" as well. I want to say it was an older trinity version or something.

Front (Worlds plastic nut) = 1/4" / 6.28mm nut width
Rear (original stepped UJ) = 0.34" or 11/32" / +8.6 mm nut width
Not sure if you are running this buggy, but if you are swap out the plastic nuts for metal. My wheel came off when I hit a pipe during a qualifier when I was running plastic.
I already had a steel nut strip the (frankly stupid) alloy front axles. I had to dremel it off! For now I will stick with plastic nuts. In time I hope to buy or comission bespoke hard steel front axles. No one seems to sell the inline worlds design in steel or ti. Odd!
The front axles are 5-40 thread on the aluminum, same size as the gold slipper nut. Nut looks identical and same size hex.
You could go to the old style inline steel axles/4-40 nuts and inline steering arms if you want steel

Yup, it was a running change on the champ kits at the end of the run but works just fine.

For ages I have been using a set of Bolink Torquers as my go to hex drivers. Solid aluminum handles have a nice weight and feel to them but I just wish they were a little bigger. I picked up a set of cheap Chinese hex tools Commonly seen on eBay for...

and when i think about all my metric full size car tools, these $60.00 hex's are very reasonable.
Exactly! I spent $385 on the Snap-on truck today and all I got was a 1/2 drive torque wrench and a 36mm Impact socket.... :roll: :roll: Granted, I'll...
Mine was one of the cheap ratcheting screwdriver/socket sets and some jewelers screwdrivers (you know the ones). I might have taken my dad's needle nose pliers as well.

That's high end stuff right there! My first collection of RC tools was just an oddball collection of kit included Allen keys, stamped steel spanners and Tamiya socket tools, along with the household kitchen drawer Phillips screwdriver and pliers....

I forgot about the other hammer ones, those are good. And the dremel one was a new one on me. Its funny how those pieces always end up vanishing.
I thought there should be a thread for tools that people get a lot of use out of, in case it gives others some ideas for their own needs.
