The Race Mechanic’s Tool Kit - 2
AFX racing is just like real racing in many ways, and one of these is the need for tools to work on your cars. Exactly what tools you’ll require depends on whether you wish to keep your stock AFX cars in perfect tune, or undertake more ambitious projects like rebuilding cars or designing your own. In either case, take care of your tools, and they’ll take care of you!
The PIT KIT is the ideal tool box for keeping your cars, controllers, tools, and spare parts all together in one place. Find a spot for each item and learn to keep it there. When you need it quickly in a race, you’ll know just where to reach!
