Sumo Crawler - shock screw hex size?

[drabina]

Does anybody know what's the size of the screw that mounts the shock to the body of the Redcat Sumo Crawler? I do not want to strip the screw while trying to lower the position of the shock. Somehow I do not feel comfortable with any of my metric or imperial hex wrenches I have tried.

I don't know the screw head size, but a quality set of hex and nut drivers is one of the best RC investments you can make. RD Logics makes really high quality with longer shanks than most so you can reach the screw deep in the chassis without major disassembly. Maybe somebody else knows the size, but if your drivers are low quality they don't fit as well and are more likely to strip the screw.

Thanks for replying. I have purchased a new set of hex drivers and figured out that the size I need is 1.5mm. Unfortunately, two of the shocks look like they are about to be stripped from the factory. Oh well, it is only a $100 R/C crawler. Can't be perfect.
