Correct, Metric , same set has served me fine 3yrs.
Only hickup will be if you use robinson racing pinions or some other USA products that use SAE sizes

A good tool set makes working on these trucks more fun! The tools they give you get the job done but aren't very comfortable. You will really enjoy wrenching on the truck now! Enjoy :)

Funny you mention this because I stripped my rr grub screw last week. This must be the reason. I didn't even think about them using different sizes lol. Time to order a new hex driver...

I was amazed when I got a good set of tools ( I went with EDS) it was like night and day for not rounding off screw heads and
actually fitting correctly:)

No, they are GREAT! I use Snap On tools for my work. So I wanted quality, I looked around and actually used a few diffrent sets. Hudy, losi and others. The EDS are awesome, I havent stripped 1 screw. I bought the whole metric reg, ball and some std
pieces :)
