The only reason to replace the heatsink was to be able to do without a fan altogether. Adding a fan just adds to the wire count, weight, and one more thing to break.

I'm not really worried about the BEC, I was just curious. THe more I think about it, the more I'm sure it has to be a switching. After all, why would a company go through the trouble of making all the PWM circuits, just to use a linear BEC regulator? I was just hoping for a confirmation that's all.

I think I will get the CNC's case - that should appease my worries. :)

When Daf told me what I'd need, I had a bit of trouble deciphering it. I mean, the lingo is probably old hat to the experts, but I'm just starting out with this electric stuff. At least I tried to find the answers on my own, I just didn't want to buy stuff I won't/can't use.

Thanks for the answers...I can go to sleep now. :)
