Overview

The Team Associated Factory Team Power Tool 5/64 (2.0mm) Standard Tip AS1659 is a precision hex driver bit designed for serious RC enthusiasts and competitors who demand professional-grade tools for their RC car maintenance and assembly.

This is the kind of accessory that separates serious RC competitors from casual bashers, delivering the reliability and accuracy needed when working on competition-grade RC vehicles where precision matters.
