5v 5a BEC

Is it legal to use a 5v 5a BEC on the robot?

I have this one for my quadrotor. It only weighs 11g compared to the 5v DC/DC converter on the robot that is 136g.

It would be used to power an arduino micro with LEDs, and possibly a RPi or a Beaglebone.

The main reason why I want to use this is because of the weight.
