Newb Question: Essential Tools Needed?
Are there any essential tools that I'm gonna need for my nitro truck that I'll need to get from a hobby store or can I just get it all at a hardware store (Canadian Tire or NAPA)? If so what will I need? So far I have a strarter kit (Mini Fuel Pump, Small Cross Wrench, Cross Wrench, Glow Plug Igniter, Charger (I assume for the igniter), and two Mini Screw Drivers) but have a toolbox full of enough tools to fix almost anything. You know the usual redneck toolbox with volt testers, precision screwdrivers, sockets, wrenches, soldering iron, and probably things I haven't seen in a while or can't remember what they're for.
I'm just getting in to this and just want to know everything I can before something happens and I don't have or know what I need.
Cheers.

After recently using them, I realized how handy they are in a few situations....
Hook and pick set has saved me from lots frustration with blown bearings and a few other scenarios.
May not be essential, but they were very welcomed!

I've been wanting a set of chuck-able( is it a word?) hex drivers for awhile now. To be used in power screwdrivers with a 1/4" hex drive to tackle heavier jobs such as RC vehicle maintenance, and building.
If I only had them a year or so ago . They would have saved my wrist(s) from a lot of workouts

My kids are sweet; wife is sneaky. Amazon wishlist apparently works well for Fathers Day...
Pit light for when I make my back into the racing scene, and get stuck in the deepest darkest corner; arguing with Losi user friend

Again, not essential, but it is always good to have lots of light when casing down nuts and bolts. I still chase down flying E-clips for crying out loud
