Hi guys

I'm putting a B4 Ft together that I picked up off here. Didn't come with any screws to mount the motor. Can anyone tell me what screws I need? The manual lists them as 3mm, which I assume is the width, but no note on how long they should be. Any B4 guru's know?

Ta folks

What you need are M3 screws with a hex head in about 8-10mm length.

Any model shop ought to be able to sell you some. Make sure you use washers as well or they will chew up the motor plate.

Those are button head screws. They will work although I prefer cap head screws as the hex is bigger and deeper.

These should do nicely:
