wrenches and drivers
I have the MIP wrench set, which I've been using now for almost 8 years and not once have I had to send them in for new tips. The losi wrenches to me are not that impressive, they feel cheap.
I would stick with MIP and Hudy tool sets. The most important thing to remember when it comes to tools is... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. That's why Snap On tools cost more than Craftsman.

Ditto on that. I have a set of Dynamite metric and standard. Good price, good feel, haven't broke or stripped anything with them yet. I only wish they came in a 4 piece set instead of the 3. I had to add a allen key for the motor plate screws (before I just swapped them for some regular cap head screws...)

Webspinner,
As far as I know they only come individually, but if you buy them all at the same time maybe you LHS will give you a discount. I know that the one I go to will do that sometimes.

what is the difference between running 4r, 2r, and 0r in the back, i thought it was 4r is easiest, but not fastest, and getting faster but harder to drive as the numbers go down? Busted my 2r in half(that stupid brick from above posts, and was wondering if i should go to 0r or not.

High or Low ?
What does using the low roll center mounts vs the high roll center mounts, such as those that are included with the XXX-S Sport, do for the handling of this car ?

As far as tools go I have an old set of bolink drivers and they rock! Except for the fact that i can't get the .050 bit I snapped after 5 years of pinion gear duty. On the antisquat I use 4deg. I get a strong but very controlled rotation on turn in and huge on power traction. When this is coupled with the on power steering of the one way it makes the car really fast in the corners. Of course this might not work on a short technical track.

Qualified second for the main with the yellow belted car; and, the black belt might have gotten me nearer to the very good top qualifier in Sportsman Stock.
Just got 3 more black belts from Horizon and will get the other XXX-S 'belted' soon. The rest are for friends.
This is easily my best upgrade to my XXX-S G stable.
