The throttle and brake linkages come pre-cut/pre bent to the correct lengths in the MP9 kit.
The popular engines seem to be Novarossi based (Novarossi, RB, Mugen BEAT, MAX) or O.S based (O.S, Bullitt, LRP, Nosram, Sworkz, HPI Hara, JQ)
You shouldn't go wrong with those choices.
Metal geared and high torque from most big brands are fine.
From 50 quid Savox 1256 to top of the line KO PROPO RSX Power HC (150 quid)
About 12-14 kg torque will be ok for steering, maybe higher speed for throttle.
Above Savox has 20kg torque and KO has 31kg.
There are a few things to look out for when building the MP9 kit
e.g some of the bushes are best glued/siliconed in place.
Otherwise its quite straightforward.
A few hours work.
Mike Cradock can build one in about an Hour!
