Hex will do the same thing, especially say running under the chassis of a 1/8 buggy. But I'd still much rather use hex or Torx than phillips or flathead. I keep a set of small pics to clean them out, or in a bind you can use a .050" or 1.5mm hex wrench.

Different??
 

And how is that any different than using an allen head screw?? You still have to dig out the gunk no matter what, but the Torx head still gives you a better none strip feel. Like I stated previously either way they are both great hardware for our R/C toys.

question: are torx as inexpensive as allen? and can you get them in the same hardness? or better yet,harder?

Hi.The holes in allen heads dont have the annoying tiny gaps like torks ,where the dirt collects,then collects moisture,then stops you being able to undo the screws.ALLEN all the way:lol:

Triangle's and some others, I like the ones that go one but don't come off, problem is they don't come off.

I always have an Xacto knife in my tool kit and that does a great job cleaning out allen head screws on the bottoms of my chassis'

There's always a way to get them off. They make special tools for them.

Torx is definitely top dog in my book. Not used enough. I hate slotted and would be happy to never see another one, EVER.

Have a refastening project underway on a ferry at work. We use copper screws & they are normally slot head because they're the only ones available

This time however they came as square drive! much easier & much quicker
