Quark 125b post thermal behavior

Thanks Brain. I'll definately go with the RX pack first, but I like to be prepared for the worst! If it is my ubec, then that's the third one now from the RC Monster store that has not worked well. May be getting a new one again! The one I have has not even had 4 runs on it yet i think, somewhere in there, maybe 5....

If you do pull the shrink wrap off the BEC to inspect the solder jobs, please take some nice, crisp photos of both sides of the circuit board. I'm especially interested in the switching IC that is used. I got a UBEC from ebay that is tiny, 5v/6v selectable, capable up to 3A continuous, and only costed me $11 shipped, and would just like to compare designs. The one I have has very few components and the loaded DC voltage looks quite clean on an o-scope.
