Re: 5v 5a BEC

Chad,
As Jon pointed out, you may not use this in place of the 5 volt convertor for feeding the radio. You might also look at the input specs on the board. It is only good down to 7.2 volts and the robot regularly can draw battery terminal voltage below 5 volts for short durations. Depending on how you wire the LEDs, you may exceed the output capability of the Arduino.
