Tower TS160 digital servo
I lost the screw which holds the servo arm on to the output shaft. I really do not want to pay $3+ for Tower's package of screws and an further $5 for postage. It is apparently a 2.6 by .45 metric screw. Does anyone know where that screw may be found, either off a different servo or in a hardware or engineering type store?

Microfasteners has them for $2.80 / 50 and they only charge $4 for shipping. Tower has a set of servo screws for $1.10 (st# LXDEN5) but you still have to pay $4.99 shipping. They are for the Hitec equivalent. If your local hobby shop carries RC Cars they should have M2.6 screws.

The TS160 is a Hitec servo rebadged so you should aim for Hitec parts. It also has metal gears. Doesn't it have a metal output shaft? You will need standard macine screws like http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...DEN5&search=Go These are 2.6x8mm and 2.2x5mm Phillip-head screws and not the tapered ones that go in the plastic shafts. The plastic (resin) shafts would need http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDEN4&P=M These are also 2.2 and 2.6 sizes.
