545.  If the power is a tad high, thats why the throttle stick has intermediate settings between off and full on.  If the power is way too high, a lower voltage battery will help.  Too much power is rarely a problem.

MFA RE540/1 if it is single screw, MFA RE385 if it is twin screw, 6v supply for either set up, low current motors, not too fast RPM, come supplied with motor mounts usually, and I have been using them ( and selling them ) for years.

Given the opportunity, yes you do.  But you don't have to.
