Default 8IGHT tool set

Sense the Losi 8IGHT uses all standard (Non-Metric hardware), what is best tool set to invest with? (or a good one) I've been having some trouble finding many standards sets.

Thanks...

Wow, I didn't realize the Losi 8 uses standard tools. Interesting that their other products use metric.

I use Team Losi's set of standard tools and I love them. The grips give you decent grip but there pretty easy on your hands (I had some dynamite tools and they tore your hands up after building the entire kit). I got mine for $35 from the local hobby shop.

i use the losi tools at work... they are great everyday i am working on buggies and trucks with them and they provide a good amount of grip but they dont chew up your hands like the sportwerks or the dynomite ones

Why not pick up some Craftsman tools from SEARS. When they wear out just go back to the store and exchange them for new ones. Lifetime warranty is pretty good.

Super Dave, it has been awhile since I worked on my LST so I suppose you are right.

OFNA #10814. Includes 0.05, 1/16, 5/64, 3/32. Comes with a lifetime guarantee. Probably going to set you back about 30 bucks, but at least you only pay once.

Haha I still have pleanty to learn. If I knew everything I might just be 1/8 buggy world champion by now .

Also notice how I didn't try to make anything sound like a fact in what I said. I posted that I personally like the Losi set of tools and nothing else. As far as the losi standard screws go I'm pretty sure they always used standard... or maybe I'm just to young to remember when they used metric?

LOL. I see him basically every two weeks and he's not always right, just like I'm not always right.

You know, I figured out my mistake. I have a Sportwerks Buggy and I was thinking that all Horizon Hobby brand used metric.

Ah ok . I'm not even sure if SW is built in the U.S. It might just build overseas and just distributed by horizon. Oh well they make great products anyway .
