There are a few kits available for helis, but for cars and trucks you'll need to look through your manual and make note of the sizes needed for the Allen wrenches and the nut drivers.
Here's a selection of hex wrenches:

If you buy hex drivers for an electric driver, get MIP. I tried OFNA's and hudy, but the MIP's are lasting the longest.

Need to figure out if you need metric or standard before you buy anything.

I use the above with a milwaukee 12V driver and they work really well:

Good set of hex wrenches and a decent screwdriver. You might also need a a pair of rubber tipped pliers and a bearing remover.

Not to long along we wrote an article listing some tools for someone getting started in the RC hobby.

Buy Team EDS tools. Hudy quality for half the price.
