This comprehensive tool set has been specifically designed by Traxxas to provide you with all the most commonly needed hex wrenches and specialist tools required for regular maintenance, tuning, and repairs on Traxxas RC vehicles and most other RC brands available in the UK market today.
Proper maintenance is crucial for keeping your RC car running smoothly and performing at its best. The Traxxas Tool Set eliminates the need to hunt through your toolbox for the right size wrench, and it ensures that you have precision tools designed for delicate RC components. From adjusting suspension geometry to servicing drivetrain components, from replacing shock absorbers to maintaining differentials, this tool set covers the essential fastener sizes that appear across the entire Traxxas range and countless other RC vehicles. Investing in a dedicated RC tool kit demonstrates that you're serious about looking after your equipment properly, which directly translates to better performance, longer component life, and fewer frustrating breakdowns during crucial moments.
RC Model Shop stocks this official Traxxas tool set because we understand that UK RC hobbyists need reliable, purpose-built equipment that works first time, every time. When you're out at the track, at a competition, or just having fun in your garden, the last thing you want is to be fumbling with undersized or incorrectly fitting tools. The Traxxas approach to design means every tool in this set has been engineered to fit snugly and work reliably, giving you confidence that you're not going to strip fasteners or damage your valuable RC equipment.
Key Features
- 1.5mm Hex Wrench — This is one of the smallest fastener sizes commonly found on RC vehicles, typically used for small pinion gears, trim screws, and delicate adjustment fasteners. Having a dedicated 1.5mm tool ensures you can make precise adjustments without risk of stripping these tiny but critical fasteners, which is especially important when tuning your RC car for competition or optimising performance.
- 2.0mm Hex Wrench — The 2.0mm size is arguably the most frequently used hex tool in RC maintenance, appearing on everything from suspension arms and servo horns to various mounting points throughout your RC chassis. This size will get the most use from your tool set and is indispensable for regular maintenance work on any RC vehicle.
- 2.5mm Hex Wrench — Slightly larger than the 2.0mm, the 2.5mm wrench handles medium-sized fasteners that are commonly found on shock absorber mounting points, differential covers, and various structural components. Having this size ensures you have complete coverage across the range of fastener sizes on modern RC vehicles.
- 4-Way Wrench — This multi-functional tool combines four different wrench sizes in a single compact tool, dramatically reducing the number of individual tools you need to carry to the track or field. The 4-way wrench is perfect for making quick adjustments during racing or practice sessions when you don't want to carry your entire toolkit, saving weight in your pit bag and ensuring the tool you need is always at hand.
- 8mm and 4mm Wrench — These larger hex sizes are used for bigger structural fasteners, wheel mounting points, and major chassis bolts. Having dedicated tools in these sizes ensures you have complete coverage across all the fastener sizes on your RC vehicle, from the tiniest tuning screws right up to the main structural bolts that hold your chassis together.
- U-Joint Wrench — Universal joint fasteners require a specialist tool to adjust correctly without damaging the precision-engineered joint, and this dedicated U-joint wrench is specifically designed for this purpose. Properly maintained U-joints are critical for smooth power delivery and steering response, making this specialist tool worth its weight in gold when you need it.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Tool Set TRX2748R represents the standard toolkit that Traxxas engineers use and recommend for proper maintenance of their vehicles. Manufactured to precise tolerances, each tool in this set has been engineered to provide a snug, reliable fit that prevents stripped fasteners and damaged fastener heads. The comprehensive selection of hex sizes and specialist tools means you're equipped to handle virtually any maintenance task on your RC car, from routine cleaning and bearing replacement through to complete drivetrain servicing. UK RC enthusiasts appreciate that this is an official Traxxas product, which means it meets the exact specifications required for their vehicles. The combination of imperial and metric sizes reflects the reality that modern RC vehicles often use mixed fastener standards, with some components sourced from suppliers working in millimetres and others in inches. The robustness of the construction means these tools will last for years of regular use, providing reliable service whether you're at a professional race meeting, a local RC club event, or maintaining your RC car at home in your garage or workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Traxxas Tool Set TRX2748R suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whether you're brand new to the RC hobby or an experienced racer, this tool set provides the essential tools needed for any RC car owner. Beginners will find it particularly valuable because it includes all the most commonly used fastener sizes, meaning you won't waste time searching for the right wrench. As you progress in the hobby, you'll appreciate having proper tools that fit correctly and prevent damage to your equipment.
- Which RC brands can I use this tool set with? — Whilst this is an official Traxxas tool set designed specifically for Traxxas RC vehicles, most of the tools in the set will work with other RC car brands available in the UK market. The hex sizes 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 2.5mm are industry standard sizes used across RC vehicles from brands like ARRMA, Losi, FTX, and many others. That said, always verify compatibility with your specific RC model, as some specialist vehicles may have unique fastener requirements.
- Why is a dedicated U-Joint wrench important? — Universal joints are precision components that transfer power from the transmission to the wheels at variable angles. If you use an incorrectly sized tool or try to tighten a U-joint without the proper wrench, you risk damaging the joint itself or stripping the fastener. The dedicated U-joint wrench in this set is designed specifically to engage properly with these delicate components, protecting your investment and ensuring smooth, reliable power delivery.
- What makes proper tools important for RC maintenance? — Using correctly sized, purpose-built tools prevents stripped fasteners, which is particularly important on RC vehicles where components are tightly engineered and replacement parts can be expensive. Proper tools also make adjustment work faster and more precise, which directly translates to better tuning, improved performance, and fewer frustrating mechanical failures during important races or leisure driving sessions.
- Can I use this tool set for competition racing? — Yes, many UK RC competitors carry this exact tool set in their pit bag for competition events. The comprehensive selection of sizes and the specialist U-joint wrench make it ideal for trackside adjustments and emergency repairs. The compact, lightweight design means you can easily transport it to racing venues without taking up excessive space in your equipment bag.
