Default Which screw size attaches servo to servo link on Gen8 v1, no info in manual

Unfortunately, redcat did not include the size of the screw that attaches the servo link to the servo in their exploded views. I am searching everywhere. Man, only 15 minutes an the screw falls out. Super disappointed son. I hope the joy to repair ratio is better than this.


Please, I want to get this up and running for him, can anyone let me know which screw to purchase?

I am pretty sure it's an M2 but not sure of the length. Mine fell out too, and I scavenged a screw from another Redcat car.

You should torque check everything on an RTR if you want to ensure long term durability. Main ones to watch are wheel nuts, driveshaft through-pins, and steering hardware.

Things flex and give when being used/abused and kids tend to be extra hard on these toy trucks.

Thanks for the advice! I am finding that I definitely have to do this.
