anything like this worth buying? https://www.amazon.com/Socket-Screw...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
i also heard a soldering iron is a good idea calipers lexan scissors and heat gun ..
i came upon this video .. seems like this guy has a decent set of tools
oh wow thanks for that jenny's link for the screws
This^@N4SIR yes a soldering iron is a must have imho especially useful to apply heat to screws which have been loctited in place.
I've had a few but honestly the only one I'd recommend is a Weller. The power of the Weller soldering irons is like another level (40W is more like an 80W & so on). For that reason I use a Weller 40W soldering iron that I bought as a kit.

Polycarbonate cutting scissors are also useful but I've never had cause to use a heat gun yet. I use a jet flame lighter for heat shrink etc when doing my wiring.
Oh and if you don't have any buy yourself some red & blue Loctite. You'll need it for metal to metal screws and securing pinion screws etc.

I've de-soldered and soldered many XT90's & bigger 8mm bullet connectors using my Weller 40W with zero issues.

It's important to keep the tip in good condition, use tip tinner as well as a separate flux (regardless of your solder having flux) I find and the heat transfers perfectly.
Nothing wrong with more power of course.
Really the only people who don’t say to get MIP are the ones who’ve never used them.
Lot of great suggestions, but I also recommend a small butane torch. There's a lot of thread lock on these larger scale trucks and if you don't want to mess up the screwheads and your drivers, this will make it a lot easier. Some use a soldering iron, but a micro torch makes quick work of it. Also, make sure you have medium thread lock on hand for putting those metal to metal connections back together. The T wrench that comes in a 6s Arrma tool kit is actually a very good one, so no need for a new one. I like to have long handled tweezers on hand too, for handling all the little pins in the difs and the hubs. Remember this one thing, all metal to metal connections on the Arrma 6s use red (strong) thread lock. Don't even waste your time trying to separate them with out heat the first time.
