I used to have a lepton with the hyperion on 4s and it was ok but a little under powered torque wise

I was thinking of buying another and using a 6s setup with the align 500 motor and esc has anyone tried this thanks Ross

cuz crashin is not in the budget

The gearing would be a little off...
I think I looked at this as well because I was thinking of using the new scorpion motors for the T500 in my Lepton.

The Trex 500 motors have a KV of 1400-1600.
For it to work in the Lepton you would need a pinon in the range of a 10 tooth.

6S + 1400KV + 94t Main Gear + 10t Pinion = 2900 HS
6S + 1600KV + 94t Main Gear + 9t Pinion = 3000 HS

You can run different settings to see what your ballpark headspeed should be using this HS calculator... http://www.readyheli.com/Online_Hea...ulator_s/81.htm

As far as I know there arn't any pinions for a 5m shaft that are that small...the other problem you may get into is the main gear stripping with that low a pinion.

Align motor is 1600kv which is too high for Lepton. Hyperion motor is 890kv. With 4s setup, you need to use 22T pinion, right?

I am running 6S with Hacker A30-12XL (770kv) and i need to use 18T pinion. I think it is not really possible to use Align motor.
