My suggestion to anyone that wants to go brushless don't. But if you really want a brushless blade then purchase the basic kit for 99.00 and start for there.

You see to go brushless means a whole set of new componets the 4in1 is for a brushed motor setup and simply will not work for a brush less setup.

I did some research on this and it you are looking at a pretty big investiment to do it...

Let me give you a little breakdown in the parts cost...

You will need a seperate heading gyro best price I found was around 50.00 for a little GWS one probably not the best one but it would work, a good one will run 100.00
You will need a 6 channel RX GWS has one for around 30.00
You will need a Brushless motor that will run in the 50-70 range.
You will need a Brushless speed controller that will run you about 60.00
You will need a brushed speed controller for the tail motor that will run you about 25.00
You will need a lipo battery that will run you about 50.00
You will need a 6 channel computer heli TX that will run you about 150.00
You will need 3 BB micro servos that will run you about 60.00

So you are looking at about 575.00 and thats on the low end, not including things like lipo charger etc. And all that said you could even spend a lot more then that on high end stuff.


Yea it's funny how a quick it adds up, the one postive is if you went this route you could upgrade to say a T-Rex and reuse a lot of the componets. Myself the blade flys great with a brushed setup and at 10.00 a pop for a motor who cares if you have to replace one and from what I have been reading there are guys with hundreds of flights still using the same orginal brushed motor.

The only thing I wish is that someone would come out with a carbon fiber flat blade for it, because for me I like how stable and easy it is to fly with the flat blades but I would like a little better grade blade then the balsa one that comes with it.

Hope this helps
