The Robbe kit you buy has no motor included so you have to buy a motor, come to fit it to the supplied mount, then find there are no screws with the damn thing. Hunting through ALL my boxes of odds, I have nothing, ziltch and the best is, I have no idea what size they are so that I can order a packet. It's only a little Mtroniks Vision 400 brushed motor, 380 size....anyone know? They are less than 3mm I know as I DO have some of those......

I have some 2mm motor screws (8mm  or 5mm length) send me your address and i will mail you a set free see if they work, if they don't no loss just the cost of a first class stamp.



pics a bit blurry but the screw is 2mm on the thread

Hi Rich,
Thanks for that and thank you Prophet for the kind offer 
I've been onto Model Fixings and have bought a selection, 2mm, 2.5mm, 2.6mm.......should last me a bit 

How come a £50 boat ends up costing £135....all in bits and extras.... I'll learn my lesson one day

How come a £50 boat ends up costing £135....all in bits and extras....  I'll learn my lesson one day 

Start off with £100, then add £100 for every foot of length.  If the box costs a lot less tan that, you WILL make up the difference in bits required to get it on the water.  Just a theory.
