Hitech screws
#1
Does anyone have a replacement hex head screw for the Hitch servos for the servo horn. Their philips head screws are just really weak and I would like a Hex head alternative. What size and where to buy with maybe a linky dink would be great if you can oblige.
Thank you,

Jaz, instead of using a phillips screwdriver on them get a set that conforms to JIS standards. Thats what most of the metric screws actually are. The JIS version do not cam out of the screw like a standard philips will do.

But if you ever start using a set you will use them on every phillips style screw you can find. Now if I could only find some with a 1/4 " hex head so I could fit them in my electric screwdriver.
Found out about them by accident when i built my first TRex heli. I used the 2 supplied jewelers style screwdrivers when I built it. Everybody that was building them at the time was bitching about the crappy screws but I didn't have a problem. They had used regular phillips screwdrivers. The ones that came in the kit were JIS.
