The RC Spot

Almost all RC cars come with the most basic of tools required for repairing your car. Any hobbyist building or repairing a model with the previously mentioned "tools" will tell you they would rather pull off their finger nails with a pair of needle nose pliers. Even if you buy a Ready To Run (RTR) model that comes pre-assembled you still have to deal with the erector set style tools that it comes with, and that too can be a nightmare. That nightmare is followed immediately by the best investment any weekend RC-er could possibly buy. A good set of hobby tools. The tool kit I often dream of having would have to be the Integy 29 piece racing kit, complete with, well everything you could possibly ever need. But its main draw back is that it costs roughly the same as most first and second car kits do, it is definitely not a beginner tool set, but undoubtedly one for the experienced hobbyist. I personally think is the best bang for the buck would have to be something more like the Duratrax 10 piece tool kit you can find in almost every rc hobby shop. It comes with 4 screw drivers, 3 hex drivers, and 3 nut drivers which is almost everything you would need for less than 30 dollars, all wrapped up into one convenient pouch. That style of tool kit would easily allow you to build up a bigger tool kit as funds become available and as time goes on.
