Hudy Torx Screw driver

Hudy Torx Screwdriver

Hudy have announced the latest addition to their lineup of Professional tools, with the addition of a complete range of Torx drivers. Torx head screws are becoming increasingly popular, as their design inherently resists cam-out (the tendency for a bit to twist out of the fastener slot when tightened) better than Phillips head screws, and resists rounding out the screw slot much better than hex slot screws. The range of tools includes 6 different tip sizes (T6, T8, T10, T15, T20 & T25) and all are sold with the hollowed, lightweight duraluminum handles which feature a specially coated anti-slip grip. Replacement tips are also available.

Hudy 1/8th Buggy Droop blocks

Hudy have announced the release of these first purpose designed and manufactured droop gauge support blocks for 1/8 Off-road. As with all droop support blocks their use is dead simple, simply remove the tires from your buggy and using a flat surface put the car chassis on the support blocks, placing the front support block below the servo saver and the rear support block below the rear suspension mounting. Then using a chassis droop gauge with elevated scales, measure the droop under the wheel axle hex, using the downstop screws to alter the suspension droop on each side of the car.

Hudy 17mm Off-Road Wheel Nut Tool

HUDY have release this Wheel Nut Tool specially developed to work on the 1/8 Buggy and Truggy 17mm wheel nuts in dirty and abusive conditions. No matter how tightly the wheel nuts are locked, the HUDY Wheel Nut Tool will allow you to very easily and comfortably release the wheel nut. The special design of the oversized handle gives you superior torque to tighten the wheel nuts, helping to ensure no more lost wheels, as well as loosening them. For the ultimate precision and fit the inner hex is specially CNC-machined instead of pressed in to ensure maximum precision of the inner hex shape.

The tool is fully CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6, the world’s strongest aluminum material available on the RC market. To guarantee long life and protect the shape of the tool even in the most extreme conditions, the tool is hardcoated using XRAY’s own unique purpose-built fully-robotic hardcoating line using a self-formulated hardcoating mixture to ensure a very even and precise hardcoated surface.
