Dyno,
what size tools will I need for this car.....all of my stuff now is SAE for my xxx and 2.0B so i need to get some new MIP/Thorp's ordered.

Its all Metric

It was mentioned its all 2.0 hex, even the motor screws.
The front and rear wheel nuts are the same too,

so you might only need 2 tools, maybe 3

so simply 1.5-2.5mm is all I need? I guess that's what Joel was saying, I still need to wake up

I asked this earlier and was answered by him.

1.5
2.0
2.5

5.5 nut driver
7.0 nut driver

thanks man.....cheers!

the "22" years worth of tamiya/hpi t wrenches come in handy again!

Yep, I've saved a couple of runs when I'd hear the diff slip on a warm up lap and just nudge the diff 1/4 turn.

FYI on the metric thing, 2.5mm is exactly the same size as 5/64". I have had a Thorp wrench in this size for 20 years that I didn't start using a lot until beggining with 1/8 buggy (metric).

5/64 is like 2.0mm, 2.5 is closest to 3/32, but I wouldn't use the SAE wrenches, all the SAE sizes are just a hair smaller than their metric equivalents, and you'll end up with a bunch of stripped hardware or worn wrenches if you use the SAE wrenches over time.

Oh yeah, that's right. 5/64=2mm, not 2.5mm. Sorry..

I didn't make up the excuse I just commented on it. Read back a few pages and you'll see a post from someone that was at the race and made that comment.

JamesnMeyer,
Do you accept every rumor you hear or read somewhere as fact?

Fact - Dustin was the fastest 2wd racer at the Spektrum race. He TQ'd on the Ifmar points system, then won A1 and A2 and sat out of A3. The excuse that the "locals" (Chad Due is a full factory AE driver and a recent top-10 finisher at Natioals) "raced" Cav is lame, they and Cav would have raced Dustin too if they were able to catch him. This was a dominant win.

I don't think anyone can say Dustin didn't deserve to win. That's a pretty ridiculous statement. When you win, you win. He beat Ryan Cavalieri, Chad Due, and Matt Chambers. Pretty fast group of guys to beat if you ask me.

And do you not know sarcasm when you read it?
