Post by: Gurpinder on September 09, 2010, 01:01:42 PM
Recently i was in Toronto . I bought Brushless system ,Lipo batteries /charger and hop up for my TC4. I pulled out my stock motor but not able to remove Pinion Gear .I am looking for hex or allen keys in bangalore for the below sizes:
Sizes: .050", 1/16"
                 5/64", 3/32"
I called up model art but it seems they don't do any repair work. I kept on searching all hardware stores but no luck. Please help

I found that these kits are readily available in Kerala (in many electronic spares/tools shop), and have most of the drivers (including allen) ones that are usually needed for RC work.  I bought one last year for about Rs.110, and then my brother-in-law bought one this year for only Rs.70 !

The brand is Jackly ("31-in-1 electron screwdriver set")

You can visit Goodwill Tools in SP Road, Bangalore.

There are too many such tool stores in SP Road  where you can find Allen keys, but Goodwill guys also keep imported tools which are much better for RC kind of fine work.

Sandeep, do you mean this particular set/brand ?  They have worked out very well for me... wonder if there are multiple quality batches of the same thing. 

BTW, I saw another set from Jackly at Ashta's house also, seems like this brand is fairly widely used.

I have Jackly JK-6036A (white+red label).
It is pretty good and cost me 70/-
You can get it on ebay.in for 90/- + free shipping.
