Losi makes both metric and standard. They are good quality.

The losi ones are ok but i find the handles to short and stubby. Go with the Dynamite ones any LHS should have them or be able to order them.

We are expecting to have a large turnout of 1/8th scale electrics so they will have their own class.

MIP/Thorp or EDS. I love my EDS Tools. Losi tips are great, but as stated the handles are too short.

I've started replacing the tips on my Hudy's with EDS tips... every bit as nice as the Hudy's (and dare I say maybe nicer!) and about half the price... DEFINITELY would buy EDS tools if I were buying a full set...
