They seem pretty cool though pricey.

Those look nice but you will likely ever only use the first 4. Not to mention they might be a bit of a tight fit in a lot of places. I don't see any reason to get those for RC use.

These would be limited to open spaces as the OD limits where they can be inserted. Plus, I'd be cursing trying to find one that fell in tall grass.
Personally, I wouldn't.

For a band I've never heard of they sure are pricey.
I wouldn't buy those for rc or anything else for that cost. As mentioned they're only going to be good for certain things and only half of them at that.

If you’re bustin loose arrma aluminum diff screws that were dipped in locktite, you might need an extended ratchet for more torque too.
You like, you buy! I own a nice set of snap on, I’ve been through the big 4 in RC a few times.

These seem a bit overkill for RC application as mentioned above point 
. But if you have multiple uses for them then I would say so. Amazon has a ton of options that don't hurt the wallet too.

Guess I didn't scroll down enough to see the price...
Uhm, No sir.
That's way too much for hex bits that's used for wrenching on RCs.
You don't need but a good torch lighter to help break loose anything stuck..

I use an automotive set for easy to reach stuff but so many things require a bit of extension and clearance that the 1/4 in socket is too big for. If the head of the hex was extended 5 inches that would be more useful for RC work. Imho
