Who was wrenching today??? What did you do??

Today I replaced the MIP labels on my hex bit set. I had to trim down the label because the full label wouldn't fit into this Snap-on handle with a magnet inside. I didn't bother putting on the clear shrink wrap over the label either because that would defeat the purpose of making the label fit into the handle. I like the idea of just having one handle because it saves space in my toolbox. Of course I screwed up the ball end set, but I already went ahead and bought new ball end labels.

Not RC
But these are my Sony BT headphones. Extra bass
3 years old, still works good. But since these are on ear headphones, and I sleep with these on sometimes, the black like fabric or rubber is coming off, it was getting very bad so I just decided to take all of it off. Before I used gorilla tape to hold the black together but after a few months, residue everywhere so I just used some clear tape to cover that up since I can't get it out and clear tape doesn't leave residue.

Reminds me of the old 250, 300, and 400ex sporttrax atvs. Needs a Honda powersports wing or "woody" from the rc51. What shade did you use? I'm after Tamiya Ps19 camel yellow for a Lamborghini.
 
Speed tips for the win! If you like that Snap-On handle, you would love the Malco Connext1 quick change standard nut driver handle...

As far as tools go, the Malco handle is THE BEST thing I've ever done in the hobby.
 
A work in progress. Upgrading the Rustler basher to full DragSpec for the 33ft series. TRX Magnum 272R ready for fitting upper HD half-shafts prior to chassis install. 'AC'

I like that red tool right there.
I have a set of those, from Dynamite.
Pretty good and cheap set of tools.
Had mine for like 8 years and the tips are still like new.

Was trying to race the rustler, its do able, but I would only run it in either a mixed class or a bring what you brung type of class. My con with the rustler chassis is that there isn't no good place to mount a transponder. When I raced it a couple months ago, i just put the transponder under the battery hold down as I was using velcro before and it wasn't holding in place.
