Use the other 2 sites that i listed on your other post. These sites may also have BL motors:

DeeTee enterprises: http://www.deeteeenterprises.com/

Heli hobby: http://www.helihobby.com/ (i ordered from them once, and everything was fine except they sent the head stiffener in the wrong color, everything was shipped on time; however if u do a search, quite a number of people had problems with heli hobby)

By the way if youre thinking about going BL, u could also do a brushless tail motor (but you'll have to upgrade your esc). The feigao BL motor works well for this. thanks to the rcgroups forum:

helihobby sells a brushless tail motor for direct drive that has the same dimensions as the high authority one... fxareomedels sells a direct drive mount that I bought but havent used... I use a ducted fan, with so-so results... thats why i bought the mount, so when I get tired of the duct, I just have to switch it over... the motor in the duct is the same high authority tail motor.... dunno about the main brushless motor... helihobby has quite a few tho.

that is a shaft drive or a belt drive... I looked for one a long time ago with no luck.... u might have to custom build one frankensteining your heli with a shogun... zoom or something smaller like the dragonfly.... good luck... DD (direct drive) is known around here as a motor on the tail, without gears to change the ratio to the tail rotor... It would be cool to know if someone has done it... it would be nice to have a shaft drive on my piccolo.

I did DD (direct-drive tail motor), not belt or shaft-driven tail drive.
