Only 5 of the Kinetic Crashes should work.
But the LotG +7.5% recharge does indeed stack with 5 other 7.5% Recharge bonuses from set bonuses, since it is named something different.
However, the rule of 5 will come in against the Kinetic Crash set bonuses, and only allow you to have 5.

LoTG recharge has its own classification.
You can have 5 of them and 5 Huge recharge bonuses

He' referring to a single instance of 6 slotting Kinetic Crash into a power for the 7.5% +rech set bonus.
As previously stated, the set bonuses are completely different than any of the "set bonus IOs". As long as the benefit is itself a different name, you can stack 5 of each of them. If you really wanted to, you could get 5 BotZ +KB prot, 5 Steadfast Prot +KB prot, 5 Karma +KB prot, and 5 Kinetic Crash 4 piece set bonuses and they would all stack because they're actually different "powers" as the game sees them.

I sense a concept character here. Stone tank, make sure to take rooted also as well as the ones you list. Name it "hold the line" or "none shall pass". 
Be sure not to take any travel powers. You're not going anywhere!

I thought it was 5 of the same percentage on the aspect, not the same enhancement set? Since they both have a +7.5% recharge increase only 5 total would work. Name of the enhancement I don't think plays into it. If you slot 6 purple sets that each have a +10% recharge you only get 5 of the +10%s.
If the OP is getting 10 +7.5 recharge increases from this build, I think its because the +7.5 from the Luck of the Gambler is considered a global effect from an enhancement while the +7.5 from the Kinetic crashes are a set bonus from slotting multiples of one set in a power. I think they have a different counter on them.
Also note that they CAN slot the 6th set of kinetic crash but they just won't get the set bonuses from it. The rest of the enhancement will work. Nothing stops them from doing it.

This is precisely what I'm saying. The set bonus has a different name than the global bonuses, each of which have a different name than each other. So you can have 5 of the set bonuses and 5 of each of the global bonuses. The horrible overkill of IOs that I mentioned, only the Kinetic Crash 4 piece set bonus is actually a set bonus, which means that it would stack with all of the global bonuses. The 5 BotZ KB IOs will stack with the 5 Karma KB IOs and so forth because, as the game sees them, they're not the same "power" as it affects players. It's a difference in the same that makes them stack because all of the set bonuses of the same number have the same name (which you'll see as "Large Recharge Bonus" or whatever). The global bonuses you'll actually see the name of the IO itself in there ("Luck of the Gambler Recharge Bonus") which means they only thing that interferes with their stacking is other identical IOs.
You can see this all in effect if you open the combat monitor window. They have names like "huge" and "ultimate" even when they are the same percentage.
In mids it's allowing me to have 5 LotG +recharges and the +recharge for slotting six Kinetic Crash.
Is this a bug in Mids or can you actually do this?
