a #10 setscrew NORMALLY uses the 5/32"
(which I *thought* was the VEX screw wrench, isn't it?)

I'd be REALLY surprised if you'd need two different wrenches.
(Maybe they obtained a non-standard 8-32 screw, to keep it compatible...)

Unfortunately, I don't have a compatible CAD available right now to view those docs.

OOC, Can you please take another quick peek at the CAD again, and see which WRENCH the setscrew uses? Is it 5/32", or another size?
(To measure an Allen Wrench's size, simply measure between opposite flats.)

Thanks again!

The cad shows it as 5/64. I know that the wrench for the setscrew is the same wrench as for the 6-32 motor mount screws, which is indeed smaller than the standard 8-32 vex screws.
