Axial simple LED controller question

[monturacer3]

Hey! So I was wondering, what is the max voltage that the Axial simple led controller can handle? I would plug it in to my receiver, but every port is already taken up. And my plan for it is to hook up a 2s lipo to the controller itself. What I need to know is if it will handle the 8.4v of the fully charged 2s lipo.

I run mine to the reciever set at 7.2V by a CC BEC. Maybe you could direct wire a bec to lower the voltage to it. I'm not sure how much they can take, but at 7.2 they are pretty bright.

Does yours get hot at all on 7.2v? When mine is plugged in to a 6v power source, it just gets warm.
