For the sake of argument, let's assume the ESC brains draw 0.05A. Add a worse-case fan current of 0.25A for 0.3A total. At 4s, the power would be 3.24W ( (14.8v - 6v) X 0.3A). A little high. I did a test a while back with the MM BEC with 3s and a 0.25A load and the BEC got quite hot very quickly, and that was on only 3s.
