I started off with afew cheap tools from the £1 shop and then just developed my tools/etc from experience.....

Im one of those people who would rather carry excess, than have to retire from a meeting cos I didnt pack something :)

Oh, and add "shock stand" and "car stand" to that list :)
If you want to be gash (which I am) just ream 4 x 15mm(ish) holes into the lid from a big empty can of brake cleaner/etc and use that as your stand..works a treat :)

Bruva Millz,

Thats probably why we only ever see you racing once a year, and when you do race your so busy trying to borrow tools that we dont get time to catch up :D :p

all a man really needs to race is a car ready to run , charger ,handset and thumbs

anything else is for pissing about when your not racing

Going from Cris' list, I have

soldering iron, camber guage, velcro, small long nose pliers, small short nose pliers, small side cutters, all imperial hex drivers, screw drivers, all metric hex drivers, curved scissors, spare wires (red, black, blue, orange, yellow, sensor leads etc), spare reciever, superglue, power supply, charger, balancer, lipo bag, spare deans connectors, spare bullet connectors, cable ties, solder, heatshrink, turnbuckle wrenches, ball cup popper-offer, tamiya cross wrench, spektrum bind tool, afew drill bits, dremel, dremel tools, tiny drill bits for pistons, carrier bags for rubbish, extension cable, socket wrenches for wheel nuts, phone charger

I'm missing quite a few bits compared to Cris, these are the ones I consider priority

Scalpel set, ruler, files, brush, reamer, vernier caliper, non slip mat to lay out on my pit table to catch screws etc, magnetic tray thing, kitchen roll, lock-tight, fag lighter to shrink heatshrink, biro, sharpie marker, spare transmittor batterys, pit board etc.....

iv got the tools i need to fit the screws on my car,knife,camber tool,tape,cable ties,my charger,shock oils and my hand set,thats why i do off road:thumbsup:

If racing outdoors a pair of waterproof grippy climbing shoe/trainer things!

Cosie I keep my shock oils in a little pot with a rag to take up the space left. they seem to stay put then :)

It doesn't matter how many tools you have in your hauler because the chances are the one you'll need is the one tool you haven't got!

Never leave home without you Hitachi electric screwdriver!!

bottle opener :thumbsup:

Narh, just pit next to cOsie, if you can find room :lol::lol::lol:

Tools taken but only used once in a blue moon:

A 2.5mm rethreading tool
a 3mm reaming tool - for reaming out wishbones etc

Priceless the pair of them

If your thinking of buying anything X-Factory you might need a Dremel :lol:
