The sensor fits in the backkplate of the motor. I take off the bracket and silicone the sensor in the backplate. You have to use either a 6600T, 7350 or 9350 Spektrum receiver.

I know we've talked about this Mike, but without a magnet, what's the thing reading? Some magnetic field off the crank pin? If so, wow! What technology!

There is a magnet built into the sensor and it senses the crank pin rotation.

Its an "active" hall effect device. The crank pin disrupts the magnetic field and the sensor senses this.

This same setup is very common for nitro RC helicopters, is been used for many years on their RPM governors

Route the wire through the firewall to the receiver.
