My hex key for my herakles rta 2 stripped on me. smallest I could find at the local hardware stores was a 1.5mm and it was too big. does anybody know the size of key it takes?

Well I must have odd balls. I have the tsunami, herakles rta2, and alliance v2 and they all take different sizes lol
I'll try harbor freight for a 1.3 and see if it works . fingers crossed
I.3mm from Hobby Town USA works perfect. they didn't have a true allen wrench but the drill bit allen will work just fine. thank you very much

I had no idea there even WAS such a thing in that size! I will certainly have to pick one up, as I've always had a bit of a hard time with the L-shaped ones.
Instead of using it with a drill or a big handle, I will probably apply a piece of heat shrink tubing to the big end. It'll make it more comfortable and easier to use, and should provide more than enough torque to tighten down a coil.
I found thathand tightening it is pretty sufficient but a 1/4in drive screw driver handle works well too.
I bought a Torx tool kit, actually made for repairing stuff like phones and whatnot for maybe ~$10 on eBay, but I later found it on Amazon. It comes with every imaginable specialty head, including multiple hex sizes. While the 1.3 mm has worked for me on just about any build deck, I know I have other options if something funny comes along. It also has a nice long screwdriver with a magnetic head to hold them, making it easy to screw down a grub without trying to slide a short hex key in between holding the coil in position with your other hand.
And I guess I can now fix my phone if I ever have to as well.
