I'd like to get a Dremel or rotary tool to take care of the typical light job associated with RC. Everything from cleaning up the edges of bodies and wings to that "take your Dremel" and do whatever mod that periodically you need to do with a kit.

I see there are some nice lipo ones now, but a corded one would be OK.

I'd prefer to keep it under $70.00, but I'll go cheaper if based on my needs there is no reason to pay such amount or more if there is significantly good reason to.

I suspect most of my use will be light and thought I'd get opinions here since my RC needs will account for most of its use.

Best I have used after burning a couple of dremels

Brushless motor and it sustains rpm under load so way more precise.

This right here. I've had a cordless Dremel and it had no torque at all. The least thing would bog it down and couldn't get anything done. The corded ones just like the link above are awesome.

Thats cool to know about the RPM on the proxxon. The digital dremel I just posted does that also. I have had one for over 10 years with no issues. You can use it on the lowest speed and it won't bog down. Most dremels at the lowest speed are useless because they just stall.

I know someone who had one of these

Worked pretty good but could get bogged at times
I use the basic Corded dremel and have no complaints. It does anything I need it to.

I use a variable speed dremel. Works awesome. I'm not a fan of knock offs

That thing is a hunk of junk. That's the one I had that you couldn't put the tool to anything without it bogging down and stopping. The corded ones have 10x the torque that thing does.
