Arrow max pinions
I recently picked up quite a few arrow max pinions. They work great. However I can’t seem to find the right size set screw to replace the ones that come with them. I’ve got both 4-40 and 5-40 nothing works. Any ideas. I’ve done a little research and couldn’t find anything. Thanks

Ya they are tiny. Anyone know where I can grab extras?

The metal pinions use M3x2.5mm set screws, IIRC (1.5mm wrench).

EDIT: This is the wrong grub screw please ignore

Pretty much everything in RC is metric these days, so I doubt that the set screw is going to be 2-56. More likely a 2 or 2.5mm set screw (I forget which), and if a 0.050 wrench fits, it’s actually a 1.3mm hex (MIP sells them). 0.050 will do the job in a pinch, but the 1.3mm is a more exact fit.
