True, but at least if it was from the BEC, you at least know that you shouldn't use it anymore since the load is too high. Although, now that I look carefully, I see a little more scorch marks near the top left edge of the picture. What is going on there?

Since the BEC is not on the same layer as the drive FETs, has anyone thought to add a heatsink there?

I didn't use built in BEC, but I was thinking that is what looks burnt, though. Maybe I cooked it a long time ago and it just slowly let go more and more. No doubt that's why it ran hot with the 7XL. :)
