My RS Pro was only showing 2 leds for heat indication [about 140* F] after some hard runs, so I don't think the ESC itself is suffering from heat, but maybe the BEC in the RS is.

No, the regulators take the full 2s voltage and give a stable 6V to the receiver.

In other words, they're doing the same thing the Tekin BEC should be fully capable of doing, but most regulators...

So it would seem the problem is with the RS's BEC dropping out.

I'll be picking up a regulator shortly.

Thanks to the guys who have been testing all the theories and potential solutions.

But, good to know, which suggests the RS's BEC is giving up for some reason under load. :(
