Status: offline 		Hey guys just found out that my Hitec HS-985MG steering servo on my revo has no screw holding the "arm" onto it. Ive been through my extra servos, screws and such and still cant find a screw to thread into the servo. Does anyone know where i might be able to find the right screw. Thanks

Well, Ive kinda been through the same situation before and unfortunately, the last I can recall, the screws that hitec uses(I think its them anyway) are pretty much proprietary(meaning they are their own "designed" screw, not a standard off the shelf screw type) so with that in mind, u probably should call hitec and see what they have to say....

Nope! that is definitely not the smartest idea to drive it without a screw because the vibrations can cause the servo "horn" to eventually one way or another work itself loose if its not on there tight enough; and still can do it even if it is tight enough...
