Great video. Just got back into RC Crawlers about a year ago. Your detail in verbally explaining and video have been extremely helpful. As a machinist, I agree on spending the extra money on the tools that count (hex drivers). One tool that I use a lot is a small drift pin. Useful in aligning holes or temporarily holding two parts together. An O-ring pick works great for this and usually comes with multiple tips. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
just let you know UA-cam site is always very informative . I been ordering tools have all the first list. Second list very good to know . I'm Amazon fan so like the link very much . I just retried need new hobby and so far I like RC . Have the Traxxas trx4 sport and 24 scale trucks. watched your videos on sport. So keep out the great work . Thanks
Always great content I’ve been stripping screws learning about rounded heads. What hex screwdrivers do you recommend I’ve learned buy cheap pay twice. Hudy, Arrowmax,MIP are the best options.
I use CorrosionX for all my waterproofing. It's super good and easy to apply. Don't have to take anything apart. Might want to check it out. But good recommendations with the tools. Loved the video
The silver/black nut drivers, I bought a similar set on Amazon for only $12. I also picked up an iFlight tool carrier for only $7. Amazon is a really inexpensive place for rc tools. Also the bargain bin at like Walmart, Lowe's, and Home Depot are a good spot too.
I would recommend a file, and some screw extractors as well. I think a variety of drill bits and hole reamer are also very necessary for any number of things. I also have taps for when i need to fix threads or fabricate something that will need threads. A lot of times i will increase the diameter of holes in certain areas to make it stronger. For instance, the small bolts in the front axles on the Super Rock Rey that bolt the plastic sliders to the metal universals, i drill them out and fit a bigger bolt. Ive had them break when i tried to change the sliders.
Great tool guide Troy. I use some old tooth brushes and knuckle brushes to clean dirt and mud from tires and frames. Harbor Freight has freebies on the magnetic parts trays pretty regularly. Thanks for the video, lots of good tips here.
That is wild! They come in EVERY vehicle. I have given away, lost, thrown away - so many of them. Maybe ask around your local RC group. I bet folks have spares! :)
Well at least we got the comment section so people can add their two cents haha thank you for taking the time to make this video man, keep up the good content and I hope you have an excellent day dude
I have had good luck with square heads building stuff around the house. I sometimes struggle with making sure I have the right bit, but otherwise, they seem STRONG. We can all agree - NO Phillips or Flat! :)
Absolute 10/10 video. Agreed with every single one.
Thanks!

Nice tool suggestion! Thank you!
I typically just use a little pick that I have laying around, but there is always a better tool out there!
Nice bro! My favourite tool is the Makita electric screwdriver 😊
Nice add! Thanks!
Well done Troy. yeah a lot of must haves in there. Thanks for sharing

Awesome list of must have tools! I have 98% of all the tools you listed. I need that waterproofing liquid and magnetic tool bars you mentioned.😁👍
Yes! Both if those are well worth the $$$!

Thanks! I will check it out.

@@RoadsideRC you're welcome 👍
Thanks Troy once again!! You have helped me out a lot with my build!!! And does this apply for drift rc tools as well?
Yes it does!
@@RoadsideRC thank you so much Troy you rock!!

Yes! All of my old toothbrushes get recycled through the garage!
Looks like we can do both hairs with that heat gun. LMAO #castanzacuts
Ha! Yes, doesn't take long to dry my hair! :)
@@RoadsideRC Same my friend, you probably have more than I.
sweet a hex cross tool is exactly what i need and unfortunately did not come with my rc car
That is wild! They come in EVERY vehicle. I have given away, lost, thrown away - so many of them.
Maybe ask around your local RC group. I bet folks have spares! :)
Nice...
Thanks
Xacto or a good hobby knife... and for those bad days lighter, gas and a strong arm lol
Nice adds - thanks!
3:47 my MIPS drivers arrived today: my $20 eBay drivers rounded off on the first screw!
MIP for the win!
A Stand for the car or truck !!
Of course!
I typically use my vice, but didn't even think about it.
You can get an electric air gun on aliexpress, I've got one on my wish list just for cleaning my rc's
Good point! I should have added that!
Well at least we got the comment section so people can add their two cents haha thank you for taking the time to make this video man, keep up the good content and I hope you have an excellent day dude
I wish rc's would start having square head screws, I like square heads cause they're less likely to strip out, in my experience at least
I have had good luck with square heads building stuff around the house. I sometimes struggle with making sure I have the right bit, but otherwise, they seem STRONG.
We can all agree - NO Phillips or Flat! :)
@@RoadsideRC I despise flat head screws, they're an abomination 😆
Where's your flywheel puller?
In my 1:1 toolbox! :)
Great vid!
Thanks! Hope it was useful!
