| Question about electronics + heat
I am working on my first build and had a question about the CC BEC and the Novak "The Dig" unit. Do either of these create any heat when in use? I was thinking of hiding them in a small case, with the receiver as well, but dont want them to burn out if they overheat. Let me know. Thanks. Ryan |

CC bec yes not sure about the dig. CC says that "Ratings are determined with a 5mph airflow on the BEC". It is converting voltages that creates some heat, that is why it needs airflow or the amperage output goes down. |

I'll mount the BEC elsewhere, as I was curious about the 5mph comment in the manual prior to posting. LOL.

I have a CC BEC in a balloon stuffed away in both my scalers, and I've never had any problems with them.
