I am pretty sure the ardunio 5v output isn't designed to power anything, and they recommend against using it power anything more then an LED or two.
I've had one of those Hobbyking BEC, it had a habit of running hot and wasn't the cleanest output causing lines on my VtX. And running about 3-4amp though it blew it up. I would avoid HK electronics in general on anything but the cheapest toys, there QC for electronics is non-existent and they over-rated everything horrifically. But it may work.
