Fantastic video! Keeping items in bins is a great way to stay organized and easy to find when we need it. I didn’t realize I needed a headlamp until I watched this video. 😂

[@RCReviewChannel]

I'm gonna use my headlamp now everyday!!!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Why on earth have I not been wearing a headlamp 😂 Literally have a very nice lightbar headlamp on the shelf by my desk - where I routinely try to hold lights in my mouth etc etc. 😂😂😂 Thank you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤪

[@adamkelly2256]

Spoken like a PRO! Thanks so much for starting with the basics: organization, and a good work surface.

[@joserobertobc2023]

best video I found! first of all organization - that's my big problem. my favorite tools is really a Dremel , and the hundred tips. thank you very much!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

My Dremel with gyro is far and away my favorite tool. With MIP bits. It’s been a game changer. Such finite control and versatile enlightenment to be comfortable in most anyones hand. Plus it’s fairly priced in a kit with multiple batteries. Win win win.

[@Tight_Lines_Uce]

Traxxas Multi Tool Kit which has all your standard hex’s and drivers. Also DeWalt DCF680 Cordless Screwdriver is a MUST. Tool Bag Replacement Gears (Pinion and Spur) Traxxas tool kit Cordless Screwdriver Locktite Double sided tape Spare AA & AAA batteries Container of miscellaneous screws, nuts, bolts, body clips and washers (Shims) Paint brush Zip ties Last but not least leatherman multi tool. IMO it’s an upgraded Swiss Army Knife

[@RCReviewChannel]

Hell yeah man. Thank you for that. I've lost many sessions out there since my AA transmitter batteries died.

[@user-tc6bd5qw5l]

Nice video, no BS, to the point, good info for me just starting out. Thanks appreciate it.

[@moereefer]

Excellent job thanks you I’ve been building a List for about a month Thanks to You sir just added some very important thing’s I was missing I never thought about or came to mind. Thank you so much. This channel needs to have much more subscribers!!

[@norsefalconer]

Thank you so much for this Francis! I'm getting to the point where I have enough vehicles, spares/supplies, and tools to get a system in place, then fill in the gaps. Btw, folks that look at a RC vehicle at a shop and say, "Dang that's expensive," have NOOOO idea, lol.

[@randall4411]

Good video ! Anything to make cleaning quicker and easier is great .

[@skitariisoldier7367]

My dad is an avid fisherman. I swear I'm eventually going to have more tackle boxes than him. They are really handy for parts and tools.

haha. That is such a great comment. Let's hope we don't have to wear those fishing vests. :)

[@roscoeshaz9560]

your vids are so helpful. i so appreciate all your help. thank you

[@idmnstr]

Thanks for the video. I am concerned about storing my RC correctly. I have drones, cars, and boats. Each has a lipo bag, spare parts tote, controller, and vehicle. I suggest a follow up video proper storage of each type of vehicle. For example: Boats upside down to dry out, cars/trucks off their tires, and drones separate from their batteries. Still a noob and still learning. Thanks again

[@RCReviewChannel]

Glad I could help

[@Chris-mk4uv]

Great advice, thanks for the tips.

[@shafiqjan1474]

I am pretty lucky to have a dedicated RC storage and work space which half of my pretty big laundry room and I can go through a door to my garage/MTB-RC-and other stuff 🤫 Man Cave for cutting, grinding, painting, soldering or ultrasonic cleaning with a proper exhaust fan for keeping everything safe. You are so right, get lots of shelves and lots of bins... 👍

[@RCReviewChannel]

Thanks for the share. When everything is in order and the work bench is clean, it's easy to work. When it's a mess, it's two jobs always. The key is to know where to put stuff away so it's always fairly organized and one doesn't have to do periodic major clean/organize big job.

[@shafiqjan1474]

@@RCReviewChannel Mise en place, or everything in its place, is the way I worked for many years in the restaurant biz. It still serves me well because I simply have too much RC stuff like a true and proper addict.

[@stevendauber3166]

I recommend MIP brand tools. I’ve been using them forever and they have never let me down.

[@Mikey1962]

One other thing for the list that is very important to me is a place to keep all of my manuals . As RC hobbyists we all have a ton of owners manuals, weather they are from our rigs , the parts we put in them or even our tools, we all have an abundance of owners manuals. I use a small 3 drawer filing cabinet for this purpose and it works perfect without taking up to much room sitting under my workbench.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah, storage is key. A good thing nowadays though is each manual on any car is now available online. And the online manual can be enlarged to any size for our tired old eyes.

[@ruftime]

1: Don’t store Lipo batteries in the house! 2. Buy a dvm/multimeter, and learn how to use it! All my students under 12 master this, so no excuses😎 3. Flux is the magic sauce for soldering, especially for beginners. Helping hands, self-gripping tweezers, blu-tac for holding your work.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Great advice. Thank you. The only tough one is the 'storing lipo in the house'. Outside, it can be subjected to extreme temperatures in some regions and lipos don't like that. Also, some housing doesn't have a lot of outdoor space.

[@seamarsh3756]

People say this but you have batteries in literally everything now, heck I have a Tesla battery wall.. no way around it, you are storing batteries in your house.

[@wb4514]

Very informative, thank you.

[@Brisson.]

Thank you, awesome video! Very interesting..

[@michaeldorich4485]

One of the things people use now instead of a compressor is a device which was originally designed to blow the dust out of computers and now its used to clean the dirt and debris from r/c cars. It's small and handy, but you need a source of power.

[@bcochener]

That’s what I have. A little hand held electric blower. I think they are for blowing up air beds and such. Work great and small.

[@AltmuehlDrone]

Nice! :) As for my Quadcopter Tools i can totally agree. Stuff i take with me: Pliers, LiPo-Soldering iron, propeller tool (quadcopter specific), that's it. I found myself doing far less field-repairs than i thought i'd do, so i reduced the tools i take with me and rather bring more LiPos or a second drone - and when everything is broken it's time to go home :D

[@Lee-tp2kh]

Bro I fucking love you I’m so glad your not just doing servos I’m so greatful for your knowledge and the time you put into helping us save time and money pros and beginners.. I wear a headlamp cuz the wife hates at 2am when the lights are on so I use the low beam and a headlamp.. I was dyeing when you flicked the light on””oh shit””” lmfao again thanks man

[@heady2008]

I'd add a small cooks blowtorch to your tool selection. It can be used for heatshrink and to apply heat to thread locked grub screws and bolts. You can also use it to heat up a disposable knife blade to trim or make aperatures in plastic

[@johnlujan8706]

For sure a head lamp and magnifying tool/lens or something. I remember having a rough time with the tiny parts on a 1/24 crawler about a year ago. Do you remember that conversation sir? I still need to complete my tool collection and get organized. Great video! 👍

[@ock105]

ONXY makes a nice all around tool set that I always bring on the trails or bashing. I added the Traxxas multi-tool, Traxxas wheel wrench ( damn those fancy wheel nuts) and a safety pin...I use this to dig out whatever dirt is in the hex since that ALWAYS leads to stripped hardware. The MIP wrenches never leave the house or get loaned out.

[@jamesmeredith381]

I have a great soldering station as I repair led light bulbs!

[@blue03r6]

Tackle boxes make great organizers for stuff. I use a plano 732

[@danytremblay6168]

My favorite tool is my deWalt electric screwdriver with a clutch and a led to see where I screw :) I love most of your video, one of my favorite RC youtuber

[@V8chump]

Wrenching with the included tools is a form or torture. I remember my e revo motor and diffs exploded from using self right, got everything replaced on warranty, problem is I had to remove EVERYTHING with the included tools just to take pictures/send to traxxas 😭😭😭

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yup. Tools of desperation for sure. Better than nothing but not by much.

[@V8chump]

@@RCReviewChannel LMAO tools of desperation is the best descriptor I’ve ever heard

[@bobsturgis4674]

As you suggested putting parts ext in bins.Along with that suggestion,label each bin so you know what is in each one. Stay safe,and Happy RC☮

[@RCReviewChannel]

Great idea! Labels are great. I'm seeing these pens too that mark the bins and transmitters for easy labeling.

[@tedsimington7654]

Thanks for sharing Sir👍

[@whistlinlipo]

Headlamp is a game changer!

[@skitariisoldier7367]

They're even better with magnifying lenses. Really handy for soldering and painting.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah man, wrench is not as hard when we can actually see what's going on.

[@fahaka2003]

I have a large assortment of M2 M2.5 M3 and M4 hardware I use it all the time to repair / replace damaged items.

[@rickrussell]

Temperature of the soldering iron is less important than the size of the tip. Small tip = less stored energy that it can transfer into the solder joint. Large tip = plenty of energy to dump into the solder joint. The Weller SP80NUS is just about perfect for RC power connections using 10 and 12 gauge wire.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Exactly!!! I needed so much temp before with the fine tip. Now a have good wedge tip and Boom! Heat transfer commenced.

[@chucklanholm5680]

I'm a little older so I found safety glasses on Amazon that you can get with magnified lenses like reading glasses. Very handy when using tools like a dremel when you need to see up close and protect your eyes.

[@Murgoh]

For RC stuff, which is mostly just wires and connectors, a cheap unregulated soldering iron of something like 50 watts is perfectly adequate. Of course a good soldering station is a joy to use and great if you do any other electronic stuff but not really necessary for just RC.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Thanks for sharing. Perfect advice

[@ConditionZero76]

Great info there ,I agree with everything you said and you can never have enough tape velcro and heat shrink etc nothing worse than needing it to realize you ran out !! Generally I just load up one of my lipo bags with a few odds and ends for field use ,such as my icharger, screw driver set ,extra wheel hexes ,nuts thread lock plyiers etc. I need to buy an actual backpack one day....... Great stuff Francess

[@RCReviewChannel]

Right on man. We can always just stuff the backpack and experience what's really needed. But once dialed and we know what breaks out there, it's worth the effort to dial it in.

[@ConditionZero76]

@@RCReviewChannel Absolutely, 💯

[@UltraMagnus-jt7qr]

MIP drivers and speed tips are the best.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yes they are!

[@islandboysrc5910]

Love these tips! Which Dremel is that you showed?

[@dadsrcworkbench1322]

I love my ts100 soldering iron and MIP drivers. A big silicone mat is great for soldering and wrenching plus most have magnetic screw holders built into the mat. Nothing really sticks to the silicone mat so it’s easy to clean also.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Silicone. I will definitely look into that.

[@domenicmaiani3795]

That is a great idea! Are there silicone work mats or did you repurpose a baking mat? Where did you get yours and how has it held up? Dom

[@robertshelton2605]

Nice video! I would include a temperature gun for speed runs or high MAH batteries.

[@Randaddy]

Besides tools and spare hardware, I've had to use my ESC programming card/BT dongles a few times in the field as well.

[@RCReviewChannel]

I've borrowed one of those in the field.

[@jasonbecker4997]

When you’re putting together a tool bag to take with you, try only working with what’s in it at home for a couple projects. Pretty soon you will have everything in it you will likely need. I don’t carry much for spare parts or tools when crawling, but bashing I pretty much take all my tools and most of the spare parts I have. I organize different plastic boxes by what car (or cars) they go with. I put the boxes I need in a fishing tackle bag and go.

[@paulus842000]

My hex tools and nut tools are a life saver.

[@newamericatowguy3633]

I have Dynamite tools. I definately like the way theyre designed with the handles. Just wish i could find more handles to go with my sets. They work ok-ish. Gotta be careful and try and not round off your hex screws.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

My dewalt 8v gyro driver is absolutely fantastic. The ability to go very slow and have a variable rate speed etc WITH a very effective clutch make it the tool to use! I also have a large set of Wera drivers that I use but mostly use MIP bits in the Dewalt. The MIP are seriously good. Better than my wiha bits even. I carry a step 22 roll. Lots of ornization options, can hang it up with basically a bucket at the bottom (google pics - hard to explain) and keep a spare set of tools in it. I already have a spare set of auto tools in my Jeep anyway so I’m used to having duplicates.

[@RCReviewChannel]

That is exactly what I'm looking at. There's an $80 one and $120 and I'm trying to figure out the difference.

[@brokennib1]

Yeah, I picked up my Dewalt with 2 batteries, a charger, and carry bag for around 120 bucks

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

A few screws, powertape, screwdrivers, servo, leatherman, and a bag when the car is complete destroyed 😀

[@brokennib1]

I just have a set of drivers, 5.5 wrench, 7 mm wrench, Needle nose pliers, Temp gun, a small parts bin, magnetic tray for body clips, etc. A 3/8 socket (for the bigger bashers) all in a toolbag. I also throw a few T wrenches in there, keep on in my packet if I'm running a crawler

[@brokennib1]

If you want a good "bug out" bag, check out the little Husky toolbags at Home Depot, about once a year they clear out the extra inventory, and I've seen them as cheap as 7 bucks. And it's a well built tool bag. I use them for camera gear, and I have one set up with tools, etc. So I just throw it in the truck and go.

[@fishnrc294]

All those things come in handy. Don’t forget glue gun & cordless Dremel with different bits & cutting head. Q tips micro fiber towels. Magnetic trays. I have a TroyLee back pack that has a bunch of pockets of various sizes all over. I bring tools some batteries brushes needle nose pliers wheel wrenches small plastic container with compartments for screws servo horn body clips mini socket fifth sockets that fit wheel nuts & any special wheel tools needed if needed to remove wheels. Two sided tape electrical tape zip ties. Glasses to see very close up. Go Pro Pepper spray because you never know when out doors in the public. And bug repellent. By the way I live in Ca. & rattlesnakes are out all the time so watching where your stepping & keeping your senses on alert are needed. I would like to put in a ear bud but ya wanna make sure your aware of your surroundings.
