Fleetscale are now producing their own high quality (as you would expect) running sets. All running sets are made to the same specifications as the example illustrated below. In one or two cases however, the rudders may be made from glassfibre (Yamato for example) with stainless steel shaft and brass bearing tube. The propellers are by Revabo.

The Torpedo 6v - 15v  motors come with a mounting bracket, a wiring harness and are fully suppressed. In the example of the Bismarck the two outer shafts could be driven with a Torpedo 800 on each (LH & RH propellers) whilst the centre shaft would be undriven. Alternatively, each shaft could be driven with a Torpedo 500 making 3 motors in all. With smaller models such as the 1/96th scale Type 23 & 22 two Torpedo 500's would suffice. The Torpedo 800 is a powerful motor (5167 rpm, 65 watts power output) and will ensure your large model cannot be underpowered. Although identical in size, weight and appearance, the Torpedo 850 is even more powerful and rotates at 9778 rpm with power output of 157 watts. Ideal for the Vosper Fast Patrol Boat, two Torpedo 850's will ensure maximum performance - take a spare battery, the power of these motors comes at a price. Please note: Running Sets do not include motors and couplings, they must be purchased seperately.
