Overview
The Fastrax 6-Piece Changeable Hand Tool is an essential addition to any RC car enthusiast's workshop, whether you're a seasoned competitor maintaining a fleet of vehicles or a weekend basher keeping your RC buggy, truck or crawler in top condition. This professional-grade multi-tool set combines convenience with versatility, allowing you to tackle virtually any adjustment, repair or maintenance task that comes your way. Available at RC Model Shop, your trusted UK RC retailer, this tool is designed with the RC hobbyist in mind, offering the specific bit sizes and types you'll need for everything from servo adjustments to engine work on your RC car UK setup.
What sets this Fastrax tool apart is its ingenious changeable design. Rather than carrying multiple tools or switching between fixed screwdrivers, you get six essential bits housed in a single ergonomic handle. This means less clutter in your pit box, easier portability to the track or club meeting, and faster turnaround times when you need to make quick adjustments during racing or testing. The tool is manufactured by Fastrax, a brand trusted across the RC hobby for reliability and practical design that speaks directly to the needs of the RC community.
Whether you're adjusting differential settings, tightening servo horns, working on your ready to run RC or making repairs to a competition-grade machine, the Fastrax 6-Piece Changeable Hand Tool delivers professional functionality at an accessible price point. This is the kind of tool that becomes indispensable once you own it – it's one of those items that proves its value time and again in the workshop.
Key Features
- Six Interchangeable Bits — The tool includes 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, and 3.0mm hex (Allen key) bits plus Phillips head and flat-head screwdriver bits, covering the vast majority of fasteners and adjustments you'll encounter on modern RC vehicles from brushless RC cars to nitro engines.
- Changeable Design — Rather than being permanently fixed, the bits are easily swappable within the single handle, allowing you to select the exact tool you need for the task at hand without carrying six separate tools.
- Compact and Portable — The unified tool design takes up minimal space in your pit box, toolbox or workshop drawer, making it ideal for track days, club meetings or home maintenance sessions on your RC hobby equipment.
- Ergonomic Handle — The handle is designed for comfortable operation during extended use, reducing hand fatigue whether you're making fine tuning adjustments or performing more involved maintenance work on your RC truck, buggy or crawler.
- Professional Build Quality — Manufactured by Fastrax, a respected name in RC tools and accessories, this tool is built to withstand the demands of regular hobby use and delivers reliable performance session after session.
- Essential Hex and Screwdriver Sizes — The specific bit sizes included (1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm hex plus Phillips and flat) are the sizes most commonly found on popular RC vehicles, from Traxxas and Team Associated to ARRMA and Losi platforms.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax 6-Piece Changeable Hand Tool is engineered around the practical requirements of RC maintenance and repair work. The hex bit sizes – 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, and 3.0mm – represent the most frequently encountered fastener sizes across modern RC vehicles, whether you're working on suspension adjustments, motor mounting, servo horn installation, or chassis modifications. The inclusion of both Phillips head and flat-head screwdriver bits covers the broader range of fasteners found across different RC platforms and accessory installations. The changeable design means you're not compromising on build quality for any single bit – each is properly manufactured to resist stripping and wear even with regular, dedicated use. The handle itself is constructed to provide a secure grip and stable connection point for each interchangeable bit, ensuring that whether you're applying light pressure for fine adjustments or reasonable force for stubborn fasteners, the tool remains reliable and safe in your hand. This is the kind of tool that represents genuine engineering thought applied to RC-specific needs rather than a generic household multi-tool repurposed for the hobby.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax 6-Piece Changeable Hand Tool suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whether you're new to the RC hobby or just getting started with your first ready to run RC car, this tool kit provides all the basic bits you'll need for common maintenance tasks. The changeable design makes it easy to find and use the correct bit for any job, and it's intuitive enough for newcomers whilst being professional enough for experienced builders and mechanics.
- Will this tool work with my specific RC vehicle? — The hex sizes and screwdriver types included in this set are designed to cover the most common fasteners found on modern RC cars, trucks, buggies and crawlers across all major brands. That said, you may occasionally encounter less common bit sizes on certain vehicles or specialised components, so it's worth checking your specific RC platform's documentation to confirm compatibility.
- How durable is this tool? — Fastrax tools are manufactured to professional standards and are designed for regular hobby use. The bits are properly hardened to resist stripping and wear, and the handle is built to securely hold each interchangeable bit without loosening during use. With normal care, this tool should serve you reliably for many years of RC maintenance and repair work.
- Can I take this tool to the track or club meeting? — Yes, the compact changeable design makes it ideal for pit box use. It takes up minimal space, is lightweight and portable, and provides quick access to six essential bits without needing to carry multiple separate tools.
- What makes this better than buying six individual tools? — Portability, space efficiency, and consistency of design. With a single ergonomic handle, you have one tool that's easy to carry, less likely to be lost or misplaced, and faster to deploy at the track. It's also more economical than purchasing six separate quality tools individually.
- Is this tool suitable for engine work on nitro RC vehicles? — The hex and screwdriver bits included are appropriate for many engine-related tasks on nitro RC cars, such as servo adjustments, fuel bottle connections, and general engine bay work. However, nitro engines may sometimes require additional specialist tools, so you may want to supplement this kit with engine-specific tools if you run a nitro vehicle regularly.
