Get the MIP/Thorp hex wrenches and be done with it.

I understand not wanting to spend a ton of money but cheap tools are never a good investment. I'd stick to MIP, Losi, or even the Dynamite tools if you're on a budget. Better to buy a couple at a time as needed if you cant buy them all at once.

The Associated Team set SAE/metric is like $50, and they are great tools. I use them as backup to my Losi sets, or when I need extra reach (shafts are long). The Associated tool you linked is cool because you can use it with a cordless hand drill if you have one or get one.

I've had this set for over a year now and all of the tips are still good as new.

Also if any of you have Avid rack that you bought and dont like I'm looking to buy one.. I know it's lite chance but might as well check before I spend money on a new one.

When you use the avid rack do you use the small plastic bar that joins the 2 arms together? I'm talking about the one under the screws not the one that the ball studs attach too. Thanks

I have a used set of the factory team that I can sell you. I just PMEd you.

Since we are talking about tools does anyone have a factory team nut driver in 7mm they can sell me? I want to match my other nut drivers but I found out that the 7mm is only avalible if I buy the nut driver set. I only need the 7mm. Not the others. PM me. Thanks

I use the brace. I place shims between the link and bearings so I can tighten them down with no slop or binding.

Because you were running it too tight.

It needs either a half height nylock or an old compressed spring from a SC10 4x4.
