Hello everyone. I am hoping to get the responses from some experienced Lepton pilots. I have finished building the Lepton with the Kora 15-14 and I dont know if I should go 4S or 5S ??

I do want Awesome 3D power.
Could anyone possibly tell me some pros and cons of each setup.
I have read about all posts regarding this motor and similar setup but I would really like to know how the 4S and 5S compare?

Thanks everyone. :D

The only possibility is 5S according to your desires. 4S will give you 2600 HS with the 24T and Kora 15-14. You nedd 3000 to match your needs. So go 5S and with the new steel pinions from Revco you will be able to adjust the HS to match your style. Kora 15-12 would have been a better choice for awesome 3D power, probably.

RevCo will have 18T pinons for Kora pilots runing 5S in about two weeks.

Thanks for the input guys. Yea this motor on 4S with 24t only calculates to 2687 RPM. If I go up to the 26t it is at 2911 RPM. According to readyheli's headspeed calculator. How is the run time on 4S? Also what headspeed are you guys running? Has anyone tried both 4S and 5S? Last question. Is everyone still enjoying their Leptons?


According to the calculator the 18t with 15-14 on 5s will only spin 2519 RPM.

I think the 18T is for 5S on the 15/12

For the 15-12 i think the 22T is the good one for 2600HS. But since i'm not a 3D pilot i use 20T and 2400 with 75% on the Jazz. The heli is still powerfull enough (bt far) and more easy to control. i'm sure 2200 would be ok too.

Hmm I got a lot of emails about 18T's. Maybe the 15-10 or some insane person running 6S :shock:
