6mm "Pro Series" socket wrench

Every tenth counts, and it starts with the right tool

In the setup of a slot car, the difference between a correct adjustment and a careless one can decide a timing session. The 6 mm Pro Series tube wrench (XT-06160) is the answer to that demand: a tool specifically designed for fine work on brackets, axles, crown gears, and all those elements that require millimetric precision in their tightening.

Function and performance

The tube wrenches in the Pro Series range are designed to apply the right torque without the risk of damaging the part. The 6 mm size is one of the most common in the slot preparation universe: it covers a wide variety of fixing screws present in chassis, motor brackets, and axle supports. A good tightening —neither loose nor excessive— makes a difference in the car's behaviour on the track.

Compatibility and applications

• Tightening and loosening of 6 mm screws in slot preparation chassis.
• Adjustment of motor brackets and rear axle supports.
• Work in club workshops and at home workbenches.
• General use in static modelling where this size of wrench is required.

Assembly and preparation

To get the most out of this wrench, we recommend using it always with clean and grease-free parts in the contact area. A screw with lubricant residue can give a false reading of the tightening torque and cause loosening on the track. Clean, tighten with controlled firmness, and verify the result before putting the car on the track.
