Servo Screws

[jhelber08]

I recently started using the MKS 777 and each servo came with two servo screws for the spline.  One of the screws if I remember right was 3mm which didn't fit and the other screw did fit the spline....just curious if anybody knows which threads are used as I couldn't find anything else on hand that worked?  I usually like to replace with shc screws as opposed to phillips.  These servos rock and I plan on switching out a few of my planes to the 777's.  Thanks.

Thats odd that they would give two different screws.  I hope you find out.

Could be the 2.6mm that Hitec uses.


Take them to an Ace Hardware or Home Depot and use the size finder.

M3 X 8mm I use on DS 1210's. I would hope all MKS servos use the same servo screw.

Yeah I keep a bunch of M3x8's for the savox servo's and had even read somewhere that MKS used 3mm but for whatever reason these are different...I wish I would have taken some photos of the 2 screws side by side.  I actually lost one of the screws cause I set them all aside to use the m3 bolts that I had, luckily I had bought an extra servo for a spare or else I would have been screwed

I just talked to a buddy of mine who is sponsored by MKS, he's thinking they are 2.5mm so I'll give that a try.  If anybody else knows for sure let us know, It will be a few weeks before I'm home to verify.  Thanks.

The 777 uses a 2.6mm.

Cool deal.  I ended up ordering some 2.5 and some 2.6 so I should have it covered.  Thanks Rob.

In the 777 servo container there are two screws for the servo spline , one is a 3mm (black one) that is for the older servos and a 2.5mm for the current 777. MKS factory advises you can use a 2.6mm for a tighter fit on the 777's.

The Splines for the 777 servos from MKS are futaba in case you want upgraded servo arms.
