    Does anyone (maybe a FREX user?) have any information on SCN5 runtimes and temperatures? I'm curious if I would be able to run an endurace race, or at least a several hour race without overheating these actuators. I'm still getting the SCN5's since I'm aware of no better option, but I would like to know if I will need to create some type of cooling or internal lubrication mechanism.

    Thanks,

    Bernard (bvillersjr)

    No duty cycle restrictions for SCN5' afaik. Duke962 uses them for endurance races as well, afair. You could ask him, if you want to know it more certain.
