I lost one of my screws for the servo head on my servo, does anyone know what gauge and size it is so i can find a new one? and also does anyone know what screw gauge is required for the standard parrallax servo head? (i know ffor sure it's tiny)

    They are standard servo screws and you should be able to get them at any hobby store selling servos or online.

    @#$%&! servo screws! There's nothing "standard" about them. I absolutely hate being beholden to the grotesquely overpriced hobby dealers every time I need a new one!

    Jam a 4x40 in the hole and crank it in. Phil is right but since it's plastic - you can alter it. I've successfully 'standardized' my servos. Even when they are new, I toss the screws included and go with the 4x40's.Jim-
