Overview
The FASTRAX 7-piece Changeable Driver Set is an essential tool for any serious RC enthusiast, whether you're running RC cars UK-wide or maintaining a collection of different models. This innovative multi-bit screwdriver system eliminates the need to carry around a bulky tool box, making it the perfect companion for track days, basher sessions, or weekend maintenance at home. Designed with convenience and practicality in mind, this space-saving tool houses seven different driver bits in one compact aluminium handle, allowing you to tackle virtually any fastening task on your RC vehicles without the hassle of swapping between multiple tools.
Whether you're a seasoned RC competitor, a weekend basher, or someone just getting started with the RC hobby, having the right tools is crucial for keeping your vehicle in top condition. The FASTRAX changeable driver set addresses a common frustration among RC enthusiasts: the need for multiple screwdriver types without the bulk of a full tool kit. This tool is particularly valued by those who attend RC clubs, competitions, or events where space is at a premium, and by hobbyists who prefer to travel light while maintaining the ability to make adjustments and repairs on the fly.
The genius of this design lies in its simplicity and efficiency. Rather than hunting through a tool box or carrying multiple individual screwdrivers, you have everything you need in your pocket or toolbox. The hollow aluminium construction keeps weight to an absolute minimum whilst maintaining the durability required for regular RC maintenance work.
Key Features
- Seven Driver Bits in One Handle — This multi-bit system includes 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm hex wrench bits, plus two Phillips head sizes (PH1 and PH2) and a 4mm slotted bit, giving you comprehensive coverage for the vast majority of RC fasteners found on vehicles across all scales and manufacturers.
- Space-Saving Design — The compact, single-handle design means you can carry professional-grade RC maintenance tools without the weight and bulk of a traditional tool box, making it ideal for taking to the track, to RC events, or on trips where space is limited.
- Magnetic Bit Retention System — A pre-installed magnet keeps your selected driver bit securely in place within the handle end, preventing bits from falling out during use or transport, and allowing for quick, tool-free bit changes without risk of losing pieces.
- Hollow Aluminium Construction — The handle is crafted from lightweight but durable hollow aluminium, providing an excellent balance between strength and portability whilst resisting corrosion from workshop environments and outdoor use.
- Smooth Bit Selection — Simply slide your chosen bit into the handle end where the magnet secures it instantly; no fasteners, springs, or complicated mechanisms mean there's nothing to break or adjust.
Technical Performance
The FASTRAX 7-piece Changeable Driver Set represents excellent engineering in tool design. The hollow aluminium handle provides structural rigidity without unnecessary weight, making it a joy to use for extended maintenance sessions without hand fatigue. The magnetic retention system is precisely engineered to hold bits firmly during use whilst remaining easy enough to change between different sizes quickly. The selection of seven bits has been carefully chosen to cover the most common fastener sizes found across RC vehicles from entry-level ready-to-run models through to competition-grade machines. The 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm hex bits handle the majority of hex socket screws on modern RC cars, whilst the two Phillips sizes (PH1 and PH2) cover Phillips head applications, and the 4mm slotted bit addresses any older-style slotted fasteners you might encounter. This comprehensive coverage means that whether you're working on Traxxas, ARRMA, Losi, Associated, Mugen, Team Losi, HPI, Axial Racing or any other major RC brand, you'll have the right driver bit on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FASTRAX 7-piece Changeable Driver Set suitable for beginners? — Absolutely.

You won't waste money on bits you don't need, and the simple magnetic system means anyone can change bits without instructions or special knowledge.
- What makes this better than carrying individual screwdrivers? — The FASTRAX system eliminates the need to carry multiple screwdrivers, saving space in your tool kit or workbench. Instead of seven individual tools, you have one compact handle with all bits stored inside or nearby. This is especially valuable if you travel to RC tracks, events, or need to maintain your RC vehicles at different locations.
- Will the magnetic system hold bits securely during use? — Yes, the pre-installed magnet provides reliable retention for bits during screwing operations.

The seven bit sizes cover the fasteners found on entry-level ready-to-run RC models through professional competition vehicles.
- Is this tool only for screwing? — The hex wrench bits, Phillips bits, and slotted bit are all designed for fastening and unfastening screws and bolts. They're ideal for assembly, maintenance, adjustment, and repair work on RC vehicles.
- How durable is the aluminium handle? — The hollow aluminium construction is lightweight yet durable enough for regular workshop use and frequent transport. Aluminium resists corrosion, making it suitable for both indoor workshop environments and outdoor use at RC clubs and events.
