You can certainly re-use those parts to build a new plane. But it would be much easier to upgrade to a LiPo powered brushless system.

Here's something from the bottom of the 'GUANLI A10' page (the link you posted):

Brushless Version

WINGSPAN : 872mm
LENGHT : 968mm
WEIGHT : 450g
BATTERY : LI-PO BATTERY 11.1V-1000mAh
POWER SYSTEM : two sets of C2410 burshless motor power system
RADIO SYSTEM : 4CH RC system . 3 servos . 2pcs 25A brushlessed ESC

Brushless motors need a 3-phase supply and hence have 3 wires.

Along with it you will need a brushless ESC with three phase out put in place of brushed ESC.

You could also use your brushed setup with a LiPo. But, before you start with anything, please go through as much information as you can regarding RC electronics and construction.

Check the motor specifications, the recommended prop sizes would be mentioned there.  :thumbsup:

This is a Ducted fan motor with ducted fans. Cant use props. You can get a A-10 from

and you fix the parts. All the Best with your flight.
