I have $500 extra dollars to spend on rc and rather than buy the rock crawler I want I have decided it is long past due that I build my shop in my garage. So I have already bought a four piece metric set of hex tools from rd logics. What else would be some good tools to have in my new shop. I own a tmaxx, vendetta, rustler, micro t, and will be getting a cyclone s. Any ideas or opinions will help. If you guys could also include any websites I would appreciate it. Thanx!!!

-set of metric drill bits
-set of imperial drill bits
-4-40, 6-32, and 8-32 taps and respective drill bits
-cordless screwdriver
-full set of screwdriver tips
-dremel
-variety of dremel bits
-soldering station
-small vise
-car stand
-motor lathe?
-cordless drill
-third hand tool
-vibrating parts cleaner
Don't be afraid to buy more expensive, quality tools. Tools are always a good investment.

Sweet thanx for the advice so far. how about any high end specialty tools clutch tools, setup gauges, flywheel removal tools, etc. I have some of the basics already such as the soldering station and dremel stuff.

A nice Fire Extinguisher is a must, sounds silly, and I hope you don't ever have to thank me.
Rubber floor mats are nice to keep small parts from bouncing too far and they are nice on the back/feet.
Lighting is a must, some overhead fluorescent and a magnifying lens/light is great.
Sorry if I got off track

A clutch tool and flywheel removal tool are VERY useful and saves a lot of time. $5-$6 for the clutch tool and from $25 and up for the flywheel tool.
