Leopard LC5055 Series Brushless Airplane Motor
Description
Expertly designed and precisely constructed using the most advanced CNC components, Leopard Brushless Motors adhere to the highest and strictest quality standards. Leopard Power Model Co. has over 15 years experience manufacturing high quality precision hardware, and is focused on ensuring the consistency of their products. Constructed from beautifully anodized aluminum alloy and top-quality components, Leopard motors deliver optimum performance, quality, and reliability at a price much less than many other premium motor brands on the market today.
Leopard LC-series brushless motors feature an extended shaft which protrudes out the rear of the motor. This allows the user flexible mounting options without having to disassemble the motor to reverse the shaft. The user can either (1) mount the motor in a traditional manner against the front of a firewall and use the included bolt-on prop adapter, or (2) mount it against the rear of the firewall with the shaft extending forward. This mounting option is most common in sailplanes or racer-style models and requires you to use a collet-style adapter available separately or sometimes included with your model.
Features:
● Lightweight design uses reinforced materials to ensure high-speed operation under constant conditions
● High efficiency w/ low running temperatures
● Built from top-quality materials with premium imported bearings
● Dynamic balancing accuracy of at least 99%, greatly improving the efficiency of the motor.
● Hand wound with precision
● High overload capacity
● Excellent heat dissipation
● Designed to endure even the most demanding applications
● Long service life with minimal maintenance required

Note on size equivalents: Rimfire considers its 5055 series either a .60 or .80 depending on KV size. This motor is very similar to an E-Flite Power 46 and Suppo 4120.
Warranty: Leopard guarantees the quality and precision of their products, and all Leopard brushless motors come with a 240-day warranty from the time of purchase. If an issue is found to be the fault of a manufacturing defect with the motor, we will replace the item or refund the original purchase price (buyer’s choice) on behalf of Leopard Power Model Co.

Customers consistently praise this brushless airplane motor for reliability and performance. Reviews highlight "never any problems" with the product and describe it as a "great product." Shoppers report complete satisfaction with repeated purchases over multiple years, with no disappointments noted.
The Leopard 5055-650KV motor is fantastic. I ordered it because I wanted more speed out of my airplane. It gave me much more speed than I expected. More than enough power for my airplane. I have 6 Leopard motors and I love them. Great value and dependable.
Never any problems with the Leopard motors. Great product.
I have purchased many motors over the last years from Altitude Hobbies, and they have never disappointed me in any way. I would recommend them and I will continue to purchase from them again.
I installed this combination in my E-Flite Carbon-Z Cessna 150T after the original BL50 motor finally died. I have many hours on this plane, and it is easily the best flying foam plane I have. I knew I wanted to upgrade the power system because I love this plane. I installed a Leopard 5055-7T 550kv and the ZTW Mantis G2 105amp ESC. I now have unlimited vertical performance with basically the same flight times as before, using the same 6S, 5000mah batteries and 15 x 7 propeller. Excellent combination.
Best motors I've ever used, period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my 2nd 5055 550kv leopard motor. And overall I have 5 leopard motors. The 5055 550kv motor with an 85 amp ESC installed in an Avious Grand Tundra. Pulling 65 amps. Great power and just fasst enough. Leopard motors are well built and dependable. However there specs are a little over rated.
Great service and even better product.
The motor met my requirements and arrived ahead of time
I have nine ExtremeFlight 60” 3D planes. I only use Leopard motors. FANTASTIC MOTORS
Very happy. Strong motor
I have purchased at least four of these motors they are without a doubt, the best motors I’ve ever purchased
Quiet running good power
I was looking for a motor that works with a 4 cell and not have to go with a big prop. Also could be used with a 6-cell. Still playing with prop combinations, actual plane performance and flight times. The motor is smooth and quiet. No issues so far. Lots of power.
The above motor arrived yesterday. I tested it with a 15X8 prop and 16X8 prop. It ran beautifully although I did have to throttle back to 80% for the 16X8. It struggled a little at 100%.
I wanted to add that I had previously purchased a Avian 450KV from Horizon Hobbies for more that twice the price. It would not run properly on neither the 15X8 nor 16X8 props, but would throttle back to around 60% and then quit altogether. I sent it back to their branch in Champaign Illinois twice, and they tested it and said it was fine, and sent it back to me! It is now in the trase.
What a pleasure having your motor and seeing it run smoothly and with no issues.
Thanks
Over a year ago when I purchased a 70" model of the OV-10 Bronco and I chose two of these 5055-10T motors to power it. I finally got to maiden the Bronco a week ago and couldn't be more pleased with the performance they delivered. The finished ready to fly weight came out to be almost 19 lbs. Swinging two 14"x7x3 props really supplied the power to fly the plane with authority.
Can't say enough good things about these motors. This wasn't the first large model I've used Leopard motors in and won't be the last. Good value motors.
I am using the Leopard 5055-7T 550kv in a 60 size Kaos and extremely happy with the performance. I can run a 14x7 prop on a 6s battery with a 90 amp ESC and still get flight times of around 7-8 minutes. The Leopard motors are superior quality and are better than the big name companies selling at twice the price.
This motor is really incredible. It is the perfect motor for the many 60" airframes out there. I have mine on an AJ 60" Laser. (6 Lbs) 4600 mah 6S and a 16X8 prop. It pulls 74A at WOT, and barely gets warm. Assuming the listed 68A max as a maximum sustained figure, I suspected going a little above that as a 'burst' current would be OK . And was it ever!
My 6 Lb Laser will accelerate straight up like a rocket, starting at a modest speed. The other super cool thing is that it even sounds sweet and powerful. As this company says, performance products at a reasonable price. Look no further... Buy Leopard motors.
Equipped my Grand Tundra with the Leopard 5055 8T 480kv motor, a 16x8 apc prop and 5 cell Battery. Lots of power, good strong motor and a direct fit to the G.T. fire wall. Altitude Hobbies is a great company to work with.
