Hitex HS-5625MG Servo Arm Screw Size
 

I am wanting to get rid of the *&##@ philips head servo arm screws and using socket head screws. In researching what size the screws are I am seeing people saying all different sizes. Looks like 2.5 or 2.6 by 8mm but which one?

Go to the Servo City web site, look up your servo # and it will tell you everything you need to know. Info on almost every name brand servo.

Don't see the screw size listed there. That is a good site though. Just bought a couple sets of gears for the servo there the other day.

2.6 x 8

MicroFasteners has socket head servo screws for Hitec and others. I like socket head screws more than phillips head.

Standard Machined Servo Screws 2.6mm x 6 mm or 8 mm Phillip-head (JIS) screws
Servo screws do not haveUSA style Phillips head screwswhich is why some USA users with ill fitting screwdrivers ream the heads out . Refer to:

JR Hobby Hardware has the hex head 2.6mm just for the Hitecs, I ordered a couple bags and replaced all mine.

+1 and yes the correct size IS 2.6x8mm.... ;)

A 2.5 diameter will go in the servo and unfortunately lots of people including the LHS's around here will tell you that's the correct size but it is not and is a large part of the reason people say you have to use LocTite on 'em as well.
