MIP RC Tools & Hex Drivers

If you're building your first serious RC toolkit, start with a set of MIP hex drivers in the most common metric sizes — 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm and 3.0mm cover the vast majority of screws on modern RC cars. Their Speed Tips are a huge time-saver for anyone doing repeated build or teardown work, letting you drive screws at high speed with standard rotary tools. Ball-end hex drivers are worth adding for reaching recessed screws at awkward angles, particularly in tight 1/10 racing chassis.

MIP has been the benchmark for RC tools for decades, and the reason is simple — they make precision tools that last. The tips are machined from hardened tool steel, hold their shape under heavy use and fit hex screws with near-perfect tolerances, which dramatically reduces the risk of stripping expensive chassis screws. Handles are comfortable for long build sessions, and the Speed Tip system genuinely changes how fast you can work. Serious racers and veteran bashers alike consistently rate MIP as the tools worth investing in.

Yes — we stock a comprehensive MIP tool range in our Australian warehouse, including metric and imperial hex drivers, ball-end hex drivers, Speed Tips, nut drivers and complete tool sets. Ordering locally means quick delivery across Australia and no fuss sourcing individual replacement tips when one eventually wears out after years of use. Each product listing clearly shows size, tip type and handle style, making it easy to build out your toolkit with exactly the drivers you need for your specific chassis.

Metric hex driver sets in the 1.5mm to 3.0mm range are the clear top sellers, covering virtually every modern RC car built. The MIP Speed Tip hex drivers — designed to spin in a rotary tool or drill — are hugely popular with racers who strip and rebuild cars regularly. Ball-end drivers sit just behind, favoured for their ability to work at angles in tight chassis layouts. Complete tool bundles also move well with new hobbyists kitting out their first proper pit setup.
