No worries, I figured it out. The Align GOV will work

Align governor? I wouldn't use that when ikon can do what you want it to do
Align governor will need to sense rpm somehow .... It'll be either a magnet or a backplate sensor too. So you'll be back at where you started
The only thing you will need is spektrum type connectors .... Even if its a servo type connector you can solder the spektrum connector to it

Nice! That's good!
Does the kit come with magnets or you gotta order them?
And align sensor you using... Mind giving me a link .. Just looking at it so I can tell if you need anything else

How do you know the pole count? What is pole count?

Your magnet is one pole. Now on a clutch bell you have two magnets in there but that is to balence the bell. One mag. goes in with the North Pole pointed up. The next mag. goes in with the South Pole facing up. The sensor only picks up the North Pole of the mag. Hence one pole. Think of it this way. On a electric motor the number of mags inside the motor is the number of poles you enter in you esc for the gov. Same thing on a nitro. With a backplate sensor you only have one pickup. Hence one pole. If you had a two cylinder motor you would enter two poles for two crank pins. So on and so forth.

Here are a couple of pics may be help you understand.
Here you can see I have a pointer pointing at the first mag. The other mag. is on the opposite side of the bell. The one mag. is north pointing up. The opposite mag. the south is pointing up.
Here you can see the sensor and the one mag. Has the mag. with the North Pole comes around, the sensor picks it up. When the mag. with the South Pole comes around, the sensor can't pick it up. One again, one pole.

That is perfect. You'll have to check the wiring on that connector that goes into the ikon and change it .. May be ... Ill look into that and confirm but that's very simple an exacto and just pull the wire out one port and put it in other .
Ill check

So yes y'all need to do that.
SAM PS: if you haven't done this, please do this now ... The align sensor wires go
signal positive negative
Ikon pin out on the governor port is
signal negative positive
And here is the pin out
So y'all will just need to take a wire out of the jst plug and re wire that .... Easy but very important

Did you fly it yet?
If your governor is giving you bogus readings then its not working. It should stay at zero and then spin the clutch bell fast and you should see some definite rpm in there
The way the align sensor is ... IT WILL NOT work.

So the black and red wires has to change places?
Thank you both for the pictures and explanations
I forget which way is up.. but yes to match the pin out, you will have to. As far as I know, and even the one I am using on my nitro bird and my electric bird, the standard pin out (what align sensor has) didnt work and then i checked the pin outs.. and went DUHHHHH!
