Thanks guys for the reply, it is appreciated. A trip to the local model shop and I came away with Zap Z-Epoxy 30min for bonding the hull, and 5min epoxy for the shaft ect. He did recommend balsa glue for the guns etc.
As I mentioned I bought the MFA marlin motor and mechanical speed controller at the same time I bought the boat. I think I will stay with the motor, which is 12v but loose the controller in favour of an electronic one. Comments noted about battery weight, so I think gel will be out of the question in favour of an inline pack and field charger. I have not tried to find any fittings yet but I will try and go for plastic or resin if I can find any.
If anyone knows of a supplier of fittings for the Perkasa, I would be grateful for the contact details.
Once again, thanks for the information already given.
Best regards
Alan
