i think that is what Brian meant.
Yeah. I already had the cells from my DX3.0, so it was essentially a "free" mod in my case.

And, I don't think anyone knows for sure exactly what causes the BEC to go bad. We are assuming overcurrent can do it (which is probably true), but there could be other issues as well like a weak/faulty component, heat (it is enclosed inside a radio box after all), voltage spike, or any number of circumstances. Personally, it's not worth risking a $300 radio just to be able to say "I have lipos in my radio". Is it cool? Sure. Is it practical? hmmm.
