Not quite - it comes with everything but the transmitter... 2.4 GHz DSM2 receiver is installed. I bought the Phoenix flight sim c/w Spektrum DX5E trx. The RTF version is 72 MHz.
ahh, IC. I didn't see a way they could have an rx in there, but I guess if it's for dsm2 then there ya go.

I do have an infrared temperature sensor... perhaps that would help. And would it be possible to measure the draw with a multimeter while breaking it in?
Yes on both accounts. This motor should start around .3A and work its way down to about half that if I was guessing. Most multimeters have a 10A capacity. Just hook it up in series. Make sure you have your leads connected in to the right places on your multimeter.
