What tools are needed?

[Moev]

Hello all, me again whit the next question.... I am looking at some sets of allen keys (https://www.monsterhopups.de/EDS-EDS-110992-Allen-key-set-15-/-20-/-25-/-30-/-40-/-5) , but will I need them all? F.e. on my Losi DBXLE I can't remember using 1.5 and 4 is only on one bolt for the body. What bolt sizes are in 5ive (mm not inch)? Also for the carburator I would need some long flat screw driver or is it philips? How long should it be? I prefer to buy the 5-6 tool needed, than to buy some set of 10 and than half of it will not be used. I am asking for hand tools, since I want them to go with me in the box on the field. Power tools and tips I have plenty at home, so for now I am good.

just buy a set fella ,
it will work out cheaper overall buying a set than buying individually, plus at some point in the future you're probably gonna need the ones you don't need at the moment, just leave the ones you don't need now at home in a toolbox,
its better to have it and not need it than needing it and not having it and having to order and pay a higher price for a singular allen/torx key,
as for the screwdriver, i take it you mean for needle adjustments, just measure with the cage on the distance you need then buy one 50mm or so longer.
build up some tools plus get spares of things that get used a lot cos they will wear or break at some point,
like 3mm allen driver will break at some point,

Just don't cheap out on the Allen's, they will help you or they will cause you to spend money replacing the screws they strip out.

I couldn't agree more. I purchased a full set of German made Wiha T handles in metric, and a Torx set as well, and happy I did. I use the torx on chainsaws and other OPE.
