Tools...
Hello - I'm trying to find out what are the exact sizes of the screws and nuts on my LST2 - I want to buy some better tools than what came with the kit. Does anyone have a list of all the screws and nut sizes on the LST2?

RE: Tools...
The Team Losi hex wrench's are bit spendy but in my opinion worth every penny. They fit a little tighter than normal so they are less likely to strip a screw. The only prob. is the handle is fat which allows for max. torque but can't always fit when space is at a premium. Check out the Integy's if you want a thinner handle. I have both standard and metric Losi's and like them.

I agree that they are worht the money spent. They are strong and will get the job done everytime. The only thing I wish they would do is make a T handle for them .

those thorp/ mip wrenches sure look like a pos and they are more than the losi ones

While i do not own the Mip set, i have used them and they are absolutely choice, i ahd a scew that was about to strip and could not get a grip on it at all, i was about to drill it out when a guy at the track handed me his Mip/Thorp. Blammo, it grabbed that screw and i was really impressed.
Truth be told, i have a set of 8 Integy hex drivers and they have held up great for the last two seasons (and i use them A LOT). Plus the biggest selling point on the Integy's is that my LHS carries the tips if i ever need to replace one.
Another big help in the same department would be to upgrade the stock screws on the LST to Hexheads (stay away from the RC Screws stainless steel kit, its a step backwards in quality from stock)

RE: Tools...
Man all of this talk about tools! And then i am a tool! I broke off a driver tip last night in the screw on the bottom of the chassis plate that connects to the engine chassis brace [X(]
Man that makes me crazy, i cant get the tip out, so i am hoping that it will vibrate its way out
