I don't think the base kit comes with one.
I only know the blue one for the blue titanium trf ones but i believe those have a different size.

There is a standard turnbuckle wrench sold by Tamiya that is the right size. I got it for my DB-01 and my friend has used it on his 511 (all kit turnbuckles). I'll check the size and part number later on today when I get home.

I've never seen a wrench that fits. I use an alloy lunsford one that I've lightly filed to make it fit.

I've used this one:

And then just filed it to fit; just takes a few minutes.

Thanks bro, that's what I've been looking for too... The standard wrench that Tamiya puts into their kit is good enough, but it often sleeps because the jaw length is so small...
