OP OP T TWINCAM Ex. Club Member Sep 30, 2008 #3 LOL funny i thought of that after i posted. Heater card does get very hot tested for 5 mins and the solder was softer. But yeah thinking about it i really doubt it would melt.

NeX You're after my robot bee Club Member Oct 1, 2008 #5 i don't think it would get that hot because it would melt the plastic before the solder, they fan also keeps it cool so if you run it outside the motor it will get hotter than normal
