Losi 8ight Pics

Here's a question for all you losi faithfuls out there...would you suggest switching to metric screws to someone who is used to running them or would it be a better idea to get used to the standards? If sticking with the stock stuff on the losi buggy is a better idea, how are the losi tools? Worth picking up or can you suggest a better option?? Thanks!

My personal experience w/ Hudy allen drivers are not good. The tip's seem to break too easily. I have never broken a tip on the MIP allen drivers.

Losi wrenches are mad stupid awesome.

MIPs are good. But if my hands are greasy from handling/wrenching on my buggy, I find the Hudy handles work better. YMMV

Tools
Might not consider Losi tools for 1/8th buggy. They are usually too short for the stuff we do in 1/8th maintenance. Good wrenches though.
Go with the Hudy tools. Just buy the 4 peice standard kit, a phillips if the kit needs it and a tuning driver with 120 mm shafts.
The Thorp tools packaged by MIP are the best. The handles are big and the tips do last forever. All my ball end drivers are these tools because of their durability.

MIP tips with Hudy handles. That would be cool.

On the subject of hex drivers, be careful with Hudy profi tools (the budget, plastic handled jobbies) - especially with the larger sizes like the 3mm. The boss seems prone to stripping out and the handle is then effectively useless. These tools don't appear to be covered by the usual Hudy lifetime guarantee, either.
Personally I've never had any problems with Hudy tips or the proper alloy knurled handles - these tools are some of the nicest I've ever used. Mine are still perfect after 2 years of very active service. Just make sure your pit table is level, that's all, otherwise they roll off!!

Shoot me if you will, but I have never broken or even dulled the tips of my Ofna allen drivers. These are the ones that came with the Hyper 7 Pro. My only beef is that the handles are too smooth. I can't get a grip when my hands are sweaty.
As for the metric conversion: I'm trying to figure out how this will be possible without consequences. Something is going to be too tight or too loose since all of the holes are designed to be used with SAE screws. Right?

the way i look at it, your going to spend relatively the same amount of money if you either buy a metric screw kit, or an imperial wrench set, so why not get the wrenches, and use the stuff that the car was designed to use,
plus what r/c addict doens't like tools? i dont know of any,
