Hex would b easier since most of us have the right tools to remove a hex bolt easily. I have removed those slotted screws numerous times on many engines without any issues. The right tools make any job easier...

Interesting, when I got my P5 I liked the flat head screws more than the hex screws on my previous engine. I use a Losi temp tuner and/or the Losi tuning screw driver and both work fine tightening and loosening the screws.

So which one is better 2096 or 9901 ? What the different between thise two pipe, if I use btt and all the same setting kit. Thanks

I bought that Hudy to use on my first Nova engine. The tip shattered on first attempt. I was in disbelief. Went to Sears and bought a good ol' red/blue/transparent handle Craftsman screwdriver. Then used a bench grinder to custom fit it to Nova head screws. Now 5 years later going strong. LoL.

for those that break there flat screw drivers or even hex drivers just use a hobby tool to grind a nice new tip saves buying and waiting for a new one
