I bought the all indluded set up from helidirect and No, it is not just "Plug and Play".

It is fairly simple to get to work though. Will will need bullet connectors to connect the motor and esc wires together. You need a "Y" harness for the power and some heat shrink.

You have to take a set of wires from an old motor and solder just the black end to the black wire of the brushless signal converter. Plug the connector where it was before in the 4-and-1. The esc has a servo type plug that plugs into the brushless converter.

The three black wires from the motor have no markings, but if the heli blades spin the wrong direction, you just uplug two of the bullet connectors (from the motor and esc) and switch them. Now the main blades will spin the right way.

I have to say, that cheap little motor from helidirect is pretty darn powerful with a 9t pinion.

Hope this helps.

It stills sounds like it is worth it. You make a comment about a 9t pinion. Is that want comes with the motor? The electronics I think I can handle. Will the heat sink from the old motor fit this. If I had to guess I’d say not. Thanks for the input.

The motor does not come with a pinion at all. I purchased the 9t pinion (single one), which comes with a set screw. I did not use a heat sink because the outside of the motor spins as designed(outrunner motor). I was fairly impressed how little this motor heated up.

Make sure you start with a very sound head set up, perfect spindle and main gear. The much higher head speed will magnify any problems in these components.

I have ordered a CP Pro and do not need the brushless converter. If you are intrerested in buying it using PayPal, let me know. It would come with the lead to the 4-and-1 already complete, $28.00 shipped.
