the german one looks like the one they give away with the twister heli you dont have to have one that say for dx6i as long as it got same plug it will work another way of trapping you it to spending more money **LINK** this would work and you even get a few sims -

how much fuel has this engine had did you run it in as per book a engine thats not run in yet will not run right on low revs the bigger the prop the more work the engine does to spin it round not good for it run it in on a stand even a 4x4" with a engine mount in a black and decker work mater will do just keep it wieghted down
