Anybody please tell me where can I get a brushless motor for mini heli in India?

Which mini heli do you have ?  The motors are slight different if they are something like a Honeybee FP/CP as compared to a Trex 450/Mini Titan.

Basically you need a motor that is in the range of 3500KV and 4200KV, and enough thrust/wattage. Check out http://www.rotor.co.in, they list a wide variety of motors.

Some choices...

Thanks Anwar Sir, :salute: I missed it in my search.
I'm having a Heli Max AXE CP L. I think 3500kv motor will be the best fit.
Please tell me can I use the existing brushed tail motor with it. :headscratch:(I'm new to these kind of things :headscratch:)

If you are getting seriously into helis with that model which seems to have multiple suspected parts (per another thread, the receiver unit is also suspect), it may just be better to build a standard 450 class clone heli.  That will give you a great learning platform for a long time, with good parts availability (may be non-local, but lots of choices). This is, assuming you already have a heli capable radio.

In short, not sure if it is worth buying a new motor, another 3-in-1 unit, possibly another tail motor and so on. Plus this is a discontinued model. My suggestion is that you spend the money else where, unless I misunderstood your intentions.

To answer your question, the tail motor has no connection to the main motor choice, it is usually driven separately by the gyro unit.  So if it is working fine, you should be able to use it.

Thanks Anwar sir for your valueable reply :salute: {:)}
I'm very serious into helies & decided to replace all the E&Es, now I'm having a heli capable radio & a gyro.

I think its better to opt for a belt driven heli rather than a one with a tail motor , that is if you think you will stick to heli's . Its best to make the investment , its worth it ! :) . Also a heli with a belt mechanism will help you in the future too . I have a MT and i think it was worth the investment . ;D

That will be my next choice after I become advanced with this. :thumbsup:

Anwar sir, can you please tell me how to connect this gyro to the tail motor.

anta.. am sorry i could not get back earlier..
the yellow wire is the gyro signal wire that goes to your channel 5 and the other 3 wires are the rudder wires that goes to you rudder input in the rx.. which is channel 4 in your rx... (the orange is the signal wire of the rudder, the red is the positive... this is for your orientation on how you fix it to the rx )
