Well everyone in nitro should have an engine tuning screwdriver. Some are custom made while others are purchased just for this reason. For this tip, I have selected the DuraTrax Engine Tuning screwdriver as my #1 choice.
As you can see, this is no ordinary screwdriver. It is in fact 2 tools in one. Although controversial, it comes with a piston locking tool. The piston lock is perfectly flat and did not appear to damage my piston head at all. I experimented on my old TRX Pro.
The screwdriver also has a nice little storage area for a single glo plug. The plug fit perfectly and very snug. No bad threading here.
The screwdriver itself performed very well. The shaft was long enough to get to the LSN on my Losi which I consider to be a tough area to get to. The size of the blade was perfect for both HS and LS as well as throttle stop needles.
The handle is just heavy enough to give you a good feel. It is also ribbed in the event you need a little extra grip.
The only thing I have not been able to figure out, is if the tip/shaft is replaceable in the event it is broken. I'm waiting to hear back on this.
All in all I give this screwdriver 2 thumbs up! It has also become the only tuning screwdriver I carry in my box. The retail price is anywhere from 10-12 dollars.
