Here are some essential items every R/C’r needs in their “Pit Kit”
A: Tamiya Blue Thread Lock
Sure, over time parts get loose and fall off…. but this tragedy can be prevented. Thread Lock will keep your R/C Rig running solid but is easily removed for maintenance. Only $8.99 Great for Heli’s too!
B: The Dynamite Tool Kit
Ever heard of “The right tool for the right job”? The Dynamite Tool Kit # 2833 contains the essential drivers and sockets you need to keep your metric nuts and bolts tight. Only $28.99
C: Lube it Gently
Our repair department tech’s often see electric motors and transmissions which are over lubricated. Too much oil can gum up and attract dirt and dust causing premature parts and bearing wear and tear. The pressure sensitive Robbe Oil Pen from Robbe contains high grade adhesive oil. Press it to the part needing lube and a perfect amount is dispensed every time! Only $9.99 for hundreds of hits.
