I originally planned to go for the durango 210 but then spoke to someone about sct and also got talking about buggy's too and that was that I guess lol

Not got anything yet but I am getting the losi 22 sct and the losi 22.2 buggy, pretty good cars those two I believe

Toolkit will be fine. I have a similar one. Only thing I've found I needed was a turnbuckle wrench and some needle nose pliers

In your original post you say about imperial tools but the tlr 22.2 is metric and I would guess the tlr sct is metric also.

personally I like the hudy tools, perhaps a little more expensive but they do seem to last well.

as said a turnbuckle wrench and wheel nut and slipper nut driver are a worth while investment along with some needle nose pliers.

I also like my trinity shock stand and diff tool.

I have been told that both the losi cars require imperial tools - I guess I'd better hang fire before getting any tools until confirmation either way
