X6 TOOLS

[welshcarter2012]

HI again guys !!
Once again confused !! when I purchased my X6 it didn't come with any tools at all !!! After spending £25 on some they were clearly the wrong ones :-(( ...

None fitted any of the wheels nuts , or screws / bolts ...
Anybody know where or what ones I need as its a bit of a pain ..
Thanks
Craig

You've bought metric ones then ie, 1.5mm, 2mm etc. As the fittings are all American (the Associated RC10 that the X6 uses as its donor is a US product as is the X6 of course) they are imperial ie, 4/40, 8/32, 2/56 etc. You could buy expensive Associated or Losi branded stuff. Dont know if EDS do imperial tools but they have a good write up. On the other hand I have had a set of cheapy Dynamite branded hex drivers and Allen drivers I picked up in 2007 and they are still going strong now. You should be able to get them from any of the usual suspects, DMS, JE Spares etc.

EDS definately do imperial tools

I have a Dynamite set and and they are lasting very well,I keep a pin in my toolbox so if you want to undo a screw on the underside put the pin in the head first and give it a wiggle about,this will get any mud/rubbish out and let your driver go in all the way,if you dont the smaller sizes especially will "round off".

I'd recommend a cheap Dynamite set plus quality hex drivers for the smaller sizes ( .050” and 1/16”) to avoid stripping small screws.
