This isn't just any tool set — it's a comprehensive solution designed by RC experts for RC maintenance. The kit combines both straight and ball-end hex drivers in the most commonly needed metric sizes, all housed in a tough, compact pouch that's perfect for taking to the track, the field, or your local RC bash spot.

Key Features
- Precision-Ground Hardened Steel Hex Tips — The hex tips are manufactured from hardened steel and precision-ground to exacting tolerances, ensuring they fit perfectly into Traxxas fasteners without any play or slippage. This precise fit is absolutely critical because it prevents wear on both the bit and the screw head, eliminating the common problem of rounded fasteners that can render screws unusable.
- Rubber Overmoulded Handle Design — The handle features a thoughtfully engineered rubber overmoulding that provides superior grip and exceptional comfort during extended maintenance sessions. This ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue and gives you better control when applying torque, whether you're adjusting suspension, replacing parts, or performing routine maintenance on your RC model.
- Magnetic Insert Speed Bit System — The handle incorporates a powerful magnetic insert that holds the speed bit securely in place, enabling lightning-fast bit changes without fumbling or dropping bits during trackside adjustments. This innovative feature is invaluable when you need to make quick tweaks between races or during a service session.
- Standard 1/4 Inch Hex Shank — All bits feature the standard 1/4 inch hex shank, making them compatible with power drill drivers and cordless drills. This compatibility means you can speed up repetitive tasks and save time when performing larger service jobs, whilst maintaining full control and precision for delicate adjustments.
- Heavy-Duty Carrying Pouch — The included heavy-duty pouch keeps all your tools organised and protected during transport to the track, the field, or anywhere your RC adventures take you. The durable construction means your tools stay secure and organised, and the compact design fits easily into your RC pit bag alongside your battery charger and spare batteries.
- Laser-Etched Size Markings — Each bit is clearly marked with laser-etched size designations, making it easy to identify and select the exact size you need without confusion. This simple feature saves time and frustration during maintenance, especially when you're working quickly at the track or in low-light conditions.
- Custom Embroidered Traxxas Logo — The pouch features a custom embroidered Traxxas logo, reinforcing that these are genuine, authorised Traxxas tools designed and manufactured to the highest standards by the brand that knows RC vehicles best.
- Traxxas-Specific Design — These tools are engineered specifically for Traxxas models, which means the bit sizes and overall design have been optimised for the fasteners and hardware used in Traxxas vehicles, ensuring absolute compatibility and perfect fit every time you service your model.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas 7-Piece Metric Speed Bit Master Set represents the pinnacle of RC tool engineering, manufactured from exceptionally high-quality materials that deliver years of pro-level service and reliability. The precision-ground, hardened-steel hex tips are engineered to exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit that prevents the wear, rounding, and screw damage that can occur with inferior tools. The set includes both straight hex drivers and ball-end hex drivers in metric sizes, providing the versatility needed for comprehensive vehicle maintenance. The straight drivers (1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm) handle standard fastening tasks, whilst the ball-end drivers (2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm) allow access to fasteners positioned at angles, making them essential for suspension adjustments and hard-to-reach areas on your RC car. The medium-sized overmoulded handle is designed for comfort during extended use, whilst the powerful magnetic insert ensures bits stay securely in place during use and rapid bit changes. The heavy-duty pouch construction protects your investment and keeps everything organised and readily accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these metric hex drivers suitable for all Traxxas RC models? — Yes, these metric speed bits are specifically designed and engineered for Traxxas models. The precision-ground hardened steel tips fit perfectly into Traxxas fasteners, making them ideal for maintaining any Traxxas RC car, truck, or buggy. The comprehensive range of sizes (1.5mm straight, 2mm straight, 2.5mm straight, 3mm straight, 2mm ball-end, 2.5mm ball-end, and 3mm ball-end) covers the most commonly needed metric fasteners on Traxxas vehicles.
- Can I use these bits with a power drill or cordless drill? — Absolutely. All bits feature the standard 1/4 inch hex shank, making them fully compatible with power drill drivers and cordless drills. This allows you to speed up repetitive maintenance tasks whilst still maintaining full control for precision work. The powerful magnetic insert keeps the bit securely in the handle during drilling, preventing slippage and bit loss.
- What makes these tools better than standard metric hex drivers? — Traxxas premium tool kits are manufactured from exceptionally high-quality materials and precision-ground to exact tolerances that ensure a perfect fit in every fastener. This prevents the wear and rounding that occurs with inferior tools, protecting your RC model's fasteners from damage. The thoughtfully engineered rubber overmoulded handle provides superior grip and comfort, whilst the magnetic insert system enables rapid bit changes for fast maintenance at the track.
- Are ball-end hex drivers really necessary? — Yes, ball-end drivers are essential for RC maintenance. The angled tip design allows you to access fasteners that are positioned at angles, which is particularly valuable when making suspension adjustments or reaching fasteners in confined spaces where a straight driver would be inaccessible. Having both straight and ball-end drivers in your kit makes you prepared for any maintenance situation.
- Is this set good for beginners? — This is an excellent tool set for beginners because it includes all the most commonly used metric sizes for Traxxas models, eliminating guesswork about what sizes you need. The comfortable rubber overmoulded handle makes extended maintenance sessions less fatiguing, whilst the precise fit of the bits builds confidence that you won't accidentally strip fasteners. The included heavy-duty pouch keeps everything organised and portable.
- How durable are these tools? — These are professional-grade tools that will provide years of service. The precision-ground hardened steel construction is engineered to withstand repeated use without wear or damage to the bit tips. The rubber overmoulded handle is designed for long-term comfort and grip retention, and the heavy-duty pouch protects your investment during transport and storage.
- Can I use these bits to assemble a new Traxxas RC model? — Yes, this set is perfect for assembly, maintenance, and service on Traxxas models. Whether you're assembling a new ready-to-run (RTR) Traxxas RC car, performing post-purchase setup adjustments, or maintaining your vehicle after months of use, these precision tools provide the reliability and accuracy you need.
