Key Features
- Six Precision Hex Sizes — The wrench includes 5.5mm, 7mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 17mm hex sizes, providing comprehensive coverage for the vast majority of fastening applications encountered when servicing RC vehicles, from tiny glow plugs to larger wheel nuts and suspension bolts.
- Cross Wrench Design — The cross configuration allows you to access different sizes from multiple angles without repositioning your hand, streamlining your workflow and reducing frustration during intensive maintenance sessions.
- Glow Plug Compatibility — This tool is specifically optimised for glow plug work, making it invaluable for RC car owners who operate nitro-powered vehicles, though its hex sizes cover far more applications than plugs alone.
- Built-in Glow Plug Storage — The centre section of the wrench features dedicated storage space for up to four glow plugs, keeping your spare plugs organised, protected and immediately accessible during maintenance work.
- Wheel Nut and Bolt Applications — Beyond glow plugs, the wrench is perfectly suited for tightening and loosening the wheel nuts and suspension bolts found on most modern RC cars, buggies, crawlers and truggies.
- Compact and Portable — The all-in-one design means you're carrying one lightweight tool instead of six separate wrenches, making it perfect for taking to the track, the bash spot, or storing in a small toolbox.
- Professional-Grade Construction — Fastrax tools are engineered for durability and reliability, constructed to withstand regular use in the demanding environment of RC car maintenance and repair work.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax 6-way cross wrench represents intelligent tool design, combining precision engineering with practical functionality. The cross configuration provides excellent mechanical advantage whilst the six hex sizes—5.5mm, 7mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 17mm—cover the fastening specifications used across Traxxas RC cars, Team Associated RC vehicles, Mugen RC models, HPI RC kits, Tamiya remote control vehicles, Axial Racing crawlers, Element Enduro machines, Team Losi RC cars, and countless aftermarket RC parts and accessories. The wrench's construction ensures it maintains its shape and accuracy through repeated use, critical when working with precision-engineered RC vehicles where fastener torque is important. The integrated glow plug storage transforms this from a simple hex tool into a complete glow plug maintenance solution, eliminating the need to search for spare plugs during servicing. Whether you're working with glow plug engines, brushless motors with associated wheel nuts, or any number of suspension bolts and fasteners, the cross wrench design permits quick access from multiple angles, dramatically improving workflow efficiency during intensive maintenance sessions.
