I know Harbor Freight doesn't have the best quality, but this is the best $8.00 I've ever spent on tools! They're Pittsburg brand and they have worked great for my hobby needs. They haven't rounded off or anything like that. For general hobby needs they can't be beat. The work so well my friends ran out and bought a set too.

Well, 1st step is finding out whether you need metric or SAE. Didnt your vehicles come with some allen wrenches? Can you read if it says like 2.5mm, or 3/32nd...etc?

If its metric, I suggest these

No it's not, still SAE. Losi is metric though, pretty sure.

The Losi Strike also uses SAE-inch hex hardware, basically the same as a B4.1. This is an area you don't want to skrimp too much or will end up with stripped screw heads.

Dynamite makes a decent set that is fairly reasonable, and widely available. Get a better set if you can though. The machined Dynamites for example are darn good and still somewhat reasonable in cost, and there are many other good to great options from that price and up.

Don't forget the standard motor screws are metric.

Not sure what size nut drivers the Strike uses for the wheel nuts and shock mounts, but I think they are 1/4". You don't really need the best nut drivers, this is a place you can get away with something less expensive without much risk.

Hex-allens:
0.050"
1/16"
5/64"
3/32"
2.5mm
