"Also I think the LM2940 is limited by power dissipation, if you have 3S = 11+V at 500mA out, P_loss = 3W. As it seemed implemented it had a a too small cooling pad so it will max out at around or less than 1W heat capability.
For 11V = Imax out =…"

"No, I'm not going to hunt up every (lousy) chinese design, I'm asking for those who spend money to spend it wisely! Multiple regs in parallell CAN share load with some design tricks. But, if the reg is simply LM2940, with standard implementation you…"

"@Stephen Gienow @R_Lefebvre: It's no big issue to hook up several linear regulators in parallell as long as you do not draw more current than ONE of the BEC reg's can provide. The reason is that you cannot expect them to share the load equally or at…"

"@ not2fast : Well, it's a $20 frame with one defect arm. Worst case they send a complete frame set $20, or they send one arm, $5 or something.
Yes, but quietly accepting that they do not give a crap is a slippery slope, next time it's something more…"

"Aaaah, what a pity these ESC's wheren'r released a few weeks ago, when I had a trust and confidence in HobbyKing. I have had so much trouble with a REALLY SIMPLE and TINY $5 - $20 warranty issue taking a month so far(and still counting..) and no…"

"@ Stefan Goffereje: The fuse needs to be much bigger than the steady-state consumption because it's a very fast acting fuse to protect semi-conductors. During start-up conditions when powering all caps on all boards the rush of current would present…"
