A 385 my guess.more than enough for pottering about. Run it on 6 or 7.2V. Nice little motor.

No doubt someone will post with a difinitive answer soon as there have been thousands built.

Mine has a 385 on 6 volts. More than enough speed. I usualy run no more than 3/4 speed, the reserve is handy when I mess up my navigation.

I used a 385 on 7.2 volts with a 40mm 3 blade plastic prop. Always runs well.

On Snowberry (converted) what length of propshaft has been used – have just finished the Italeri MTB and Snowberry is to be my next project. All the conversion articles I've read don't give shaft length. Many thanks

Thanks Colin, that's extremely helpful – will make a start on getting the gear together with some of the GLS aftermarket extras.

Again many thanks for such a prompt reply

Good luck with the build Stan, keep us updated.

Thanks Colin – had skimmed it awhile back but at the time wasn't thinking about doing a Flower let alone converting one – will now re-read thoroughly

Cheers again
