There are other brands that are good, but there are a lot that aren't.

Kpowell911 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I thought Arrowmax/EDS were the same just branded differently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a set of Arrowmax bits (all but one are now useless), but only a single EDS driver(still ok). They certainly could just be rebrands, but that would tell me that the quality is inconsistent. My team associated bit seems to be doing ok, but TBH the only ones I would buy other than MIP are Hudy. Expensive outlay, but in the long run these tools end up being much cheaper. I'm far too broke for cheap tools 😁 Edited December 29, 2020 by Paul Busby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife got me the "speed hexes" or whatever they're called, the ones for power tools. MIPs, i mean, that triple set. I'm honestly quite shocked how tight they fit into bolts. Definitely worth the money, though "screwing at a bit of an angle" isn't gonna happen anymore now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Haha I bought some Draper professional bits from my local tool shop in there clearance bin about 3 years ago for something like 80p each and there still as good as the day I bought them. Mip are a decent tool but sadly extremely over priced like anything RC related the price takes a huge markup Dont think for one minute you can’t break or round the heads off the MIP bits plenty of folks have and there lifetime Guarantee only applies stateside unless you contact them direct and even then apparently it’s a PITA to sort out. Ive only ever borrowed one here and there but not something I’d invest almost £40 time you add shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I like having good quality tools for every occasion. 👍 More pricey, but usually also more fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every RC potentially needs diff-shimming, on RTRs as well as on the EXB. Most of the 2nd batch i've seen looked fine to me, but that doesn't mean that your particular truck is, too. You have to take the diffs out anyway (fill them properly) - just check for play, if they do need shimming, there should be shims included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
