Well I threw around my lepton on 5S 3700 flightpower with the Hacker A30-12XL.
Very powerful setup. best so far. I was running at 75% throttle and hit 3100 rpm at the beginning of the flight in a hover.
Flew 4:30 including spoolup and spooldown. Motor was 178F without a fan.
I think with a fan it will go for 6-7 minutes without getting too hot.
I used just over 2000 mah out of the pack. here is the FDR graph
temp is the battery
57 amps
Over 1000 watts :shock:

Jon, at this point, do you feel the 5S setup is going to really offer any advantages over the 4S setup for aggressive 3D - still seems pretty close, but I am not experimenting with the 5S yet, so not sure from these posts what the real story is,
Thanks,
Jeff

longer flight times with a little more power is going to be the benifit.
I still think more pinions are the answer but this one is getting very close. If it runs cool with a fan installed I definatley think it will be better than the 4S setups.

Jon,
For a 4S setup with the stock pinions do you advise me to buy Hacker A30-10XL or 12XL, finally?
Do somebody have some news about aftermarket pinions to be available soon? Like a 20T?
Thanks
Nicolas

rotodingo - for 4S you will want the 10XL.

Hey Jon J., Matt and I put an on-board monitor on the Lepton 5S/12XL setup of mine with the Jazz 55 and ran some numbers. The HIGHEST amp pull (with him flying mind you) was 60 and the average was in the 30's or 20's (I have to get the graph from him).
That means, as I suspected from the outset, that we all could have saved ourselves well over a $100 and used a Jazz 40-10-24 or 32. Even though it is only rated for 50A, I watched Matt pull 86 A almost non-stop on his 55-10-32 on a 10S Logo 14 and it is only rated for 75 A - so there is a huge buffer built in I think.
Anybody tried that on 5S?
Anyway, I could also use some help as I am moving my Jazz 55 to my Trex 600 and putting the Align 75 on the Lepton with my 12XL. I would love to hear someone has that setup working well and what settings/curves they found worked.
