[castorriv]

I need to get a dremel for use on my traxxas but I can't decide what model to buy. Want to stay under $100 and would like one with a cord. Any suggestions??

At least that's my setup (only the Dremel I have is the older version of the one linked above) and it's been great.

Cubic, that press looks really cool. What type of things have you used it for?

[MaxxViper]

I use the Dremel 300 series, variable speeds and comes with 25 accessories,. i also use a black and decker rotary tool called the "Wizard", works great

I’ve got one of these, and it works great:

I have use it to drill holes in Lexan/aluminum. I also rotated the Dremel on the stand and left the Dremel stationary while I could easily sand out the wheel wells of my body.

I've owned both a Craftsman and a Dremel rotary tool, so that's all I can comment on. Both were essentially identical, although the Craftsman only lasted a couple years. I would say the basic requirements, regardless of brand, are corded and preferably adjustable speed. I would compare prices, warranty and supplied accessories and make a decision based on that. You should be able to get something decent for well less than $100, possibly even $50. I wouldn't even consider a cordless...the ones I've used are pathetically weak compared to a corded.

i bought a $40 dremmel knock off from a electrics store about 10 years ago

it is still going strong and it has copped a hiding over the years

i have a black and decker 110 volt. well under $100 takes all the dremel tools. the black and decker has speeds, but i use the highest speed the most.

I use a Dremel 4000 and have the multi saw attachment and other accessories. The Dremel 4000 costs under $100 and comes in a case with several attachments. Theres so much you can do with it especially around the house. It's paid for itself. I'm looking to buy the work station and flex shaft in the next few weeks. It's a great system to use.

I've never owned a dremel but I have so many grinding/clean-up jobs backed up that I really need one. I'm sure I'll find lots of other stuff for it once I buy one. Looks like i'll get the dremel 300 series, saw a couple rc'ers that have that model. thx.

[MaxxViper]

You can't go wrong with the Dremel 300 series, it has all the accessories you would need to do any mod on any rc ...

Great Choice, IMHO

[Cubic]

Anybody use the cheapo Harbor Freight rotatory tool? It's like $10 an comes with a bunch of accessories.

I have a 10+v cordless Dremel (I think it is around 10v) that works great. Fully adjustable speed, battery lasts a long time and haven't had any issues with it at all.

I've been using the Tool Shop brand from Menards for a couple of years. Great tool and the best part is it's only $20

my and my dad broke 2 or 3 just modding my batter tray

[Nitronaught]

My Dremel was passed onto me by my dad who passed away in 2000. He used it for many things. Now I've had it for 9 yrs it works like a champ. I never new what a gift I was given until I got into RC's again.

I don't think I've known anyone to have a bad experience with Dremel products.

Well I bought a dremel 300 yesterday and I love it. So far I've used it to router my battery trays so my new lipo's will fit. The power cables come out the side of the battery not the top or end so it wouldn't fit in the battery tray just right. On my first job I wasn't paying attention and chewed up part of the frame. But I'm better with it now.

[castorriv]

The Dremel 300 was $39.99 at my local wally mart. I picked up an $8 tackle box to serve as the case, and got an attachment kit for about $15. Next job is to engrave my initials on the trucks...

Got the reinforced ones. Don't even waste your time with the non-reinforced ones as they break if you blow on them too hard. The reinforced ones hold up pretty well.
