RE: Futaba 6014 receiver heat issue
reasonable
I did not want to assign numbers but those are right in line with what I have seen (I also have a Infared gun)
I have see standard plastic canopies distort - badly - this takes usually 200 f. but lower temps and pressure buildup will do the same -I once saw one blow up like a balloon and pop and fall over - true story it was a old one -not made from PETG as almost all are now.
I am going to "shoot" some of my 6100/7000rx to see what is typical temp here - they are dark grey . my JR are light red - odd as it amy seem -the case color does make a difference.
My A123 powered models have minimal batt heat (as compared against LiPos ) even run at 50 amps .
Years back working with clothing manufacturers- we were informed that changing color of thread changed the setup on the sewing machines - really-
FWIW- Ya gotta know the territory-
