I think Black and Descker make one. Also try Sears as well.

You really do not want to use cordless drill on your RC vehicle. The amount of torque they produce will strip the screw heads very easily.

You can pick up a complete set of hex drivers from several manufacturers for less than the cost of the drill / hexes.

we call them alan keys.

what you said is right though, WAY too much torque. The handheld screwdrivers I've seen are pretty good though. they're slow enough, and got a nice little bit of power behind em. Me personally, I hate sitting there for a fucking hour, spinning my hand around violently, waiting for my wrists to crack by the idealogy of 'something's gotta give'. fuck it. fuck it to hell. drills are for builders and carpenters.
