We do not know what the exact temprature of the IC. All we know is that the case of the RX is 130-165 degrees when it fails. I would have to say that the inside could be slightly cooler than that (shade barrier effect). So we do not know. We see it failing in 85 degree weather. Well within the limits. It is also happening to ALL the Futaba 2.4 RX out there with the same IC in it!!! The car guys as well (they do not mind too much since they just go get there car)!! So it is not the setup or a particular RX. It is all the RX with this 2.4 IC that will fail.

Back from SEA-TAC. There's Mt Rainier!!
