well the overall height of the motor is 190mm, to the top of the spark plug cap, the clearance in these boats is 195mm!! but i dont know how low the engine has to be mounted?? the only way is to make a cockpit moulding that has a raised section to allow it to fit if its too tall...........

I have built a few R/C boats and use this place to order parts:

http://www.pandanmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

They are primerally 'fast electric' suppliers, but the Robbe, and Graupner propshafts are used in nitro modelling.

And check this place, never used them but have loads of stuff:

Yes it does, but it's kind'a hard to tell with an 'unloaded' two stroke, and i'm sure it's only in need a 'wee tweek' of one of the jets or summat.

Agreed. Once it's loaded up it'll be fine. Making it 2 stroke at max throttle on no load is a sure way of frying it when it's loaded up. It also sounds a wee bit cold and that'll make it tend towards 4 stroking more.
