Anybody tried the Traxxas toolkit?

[pitbullo]

Hi all!
I need some tools for my Granite, as the the tools that comes with the car are rubbish. I can't find a proper Arrma toolkit either. Luckily Traxxas might have what I need. Anybody tried these? Will they do the trick for my Arrma, quality wise? Does it contain the correct sizes?

The tips are good in my experience, but the ratcheting handle tool they include is garbage. Mine broken after a few hard torques. Now I just chuck up those bits into a drill motor and use them that way.

After using some of the cheaper tools out there and having them fail I bit the bullet and bought a set of MIP tools. haven't looked back. The initial investment is high but you get tools that are going to last.

Thx! Might use the traxxas as a bit set, and buy a ratcheting thingy some other place.

I also have the set and it is handy to take with you when you are going to bash and that you have to fix something quickly but at home I use really good screwdrivers to tighten everything
Because you keep messing around when you need 2mm and then again 2.5mm.
plus good tools is half the battle and this is just a cheap set

I had it to start out worked alright then like said above I got the MIP hand and speed bits to and wouldn't go back.

I had one, the ratchet handle is very weak and can't break loose thread locked screws(although that one has a different handle than mine did) the 1.5 and 2.0 tips wear down rather fast but I got nearly 4 years of use out of the nut drivers before they started to strip. Plus the case is pretty nice.

-Edit- Sorry mine was this one, but those kits are all made by the same company and just rebranded by everyone else https://www.rcplanet.com/tools/tool...Upld8qB1y5jGHj50To7jbs1ES03lNbwBoC9rIQAvD_BwE

I bought one back in the day before I heard about MIP and the Dynamite I use now. My ratcheting driver still works, and I use it with the philips head all the time. It also makes a great nutdriver for the wheels on my Granite. The 2mm and 2.5mm tips are in bad shape, but I'll still use them in a pinch for a hard to get to screw that I know won't be to wedged into the plastic.

Has anyone found a decent quality handle that will accept these driver bits? I still use them, especially for the nut drivers.

9-in-1 Square Drive Multi-Bit Screwdriver ( not the ratchet one)​

by Milwaukee. It accepts quarter inch bits great. It comes with bits already but you alternate them for weight distribution ( if you like heavy or light handles) This is the only handle I found that has worked for me. Plus , I have big hands and it feels comfortable. Yes they are not the "hobby" kind but its the same thing.

 

[RCBro80]

Looks like this?

 

[WoBistDu]

Thats the ratchet one. There is another one the samething that not ratcheting.

 

[slick2500]

The tips in the Traxxas kit aren't 1/4 inch.

 

[WoBistDu]

I don't know anything about the traxxas stuff. I use the handle with other quarter inch speed bits. What size are the traxxas bits?

I cannot remember to be honest.

 

[WoBistDu]

I also use it for hex drivers that have the quarter inch. Yes its easy to get a whole kit but honestly its not difficult to get tools for the cars/trucks , planes etc..Plus finding tools that fit your hands are important.

Good call! They're 5/32" (.156")

Thanks for all the replies! Seems like arrma should make a proper, high quality tool kit. I’d buy it!
I ended up with some mixed stuff. I bought a high quality wrench (?) for the wheel nuts at my LHS, and a tool kit actually made for phones and computers. Quality stuff. Combined with other tools I have in my house I now have everything I need, I think.

it0s garbage
the handle is kinda broken after less than a year and a couple of tools are now rounded and useless
