10C is not enough!!! Get 20C or better and you will be happy and as always DONT over discharge the battery. Before going to FlightPower I ran 20C Hyperions and never had a problem on 4S.

Bob Forgott,
How would it be a 3S for sport flying on the lepton with the hyperion motor?
Thanks again,

Well I am biased and prefer FlightPower batteries.
4S the Evo 3700 pack is perfect.
For 3S you can use 3S2P Flight Power 2170's (two packs in parallel e.g. 2 Trex450 packs work well), or go just a single 3S pack and the FP 3700 or 4350 packs will be fine.
