Default Metric or imperial??

Right I know the rat, monkey and other ansmann kits are metric etc
But the bolts that the kits use are we sure they are fully metric? Yes they have a 3pm thread BUT the hex as we all know strips very easy!

Has any one tried a imperial 5/64 driver in the bolts?? Much tighter fit than the 2mm drivers I've been using!!

Only found this out today...... Bought a second hand x2c from a member on here and found there to be a few bolts too rounded for a 2mm driver! And thought I was gonna have to get the dremmel out untill I found a stripped out bolt holding the rear shock tower to the gearbox! Tried a few of my 2mm drivers with no success, then thought I would try a 5/64 driver and now ALL the rounded bolts have been extracted

Give it a try and see what you think
