How hot do hotwires get?

[FILIPPO]

Filippo the 4D ROP i've built was more as stopgap from bits and pieces I had (apart from the reflector) and I know that the 1400maH Nicad isnt gonna cut it runtime wise. It got used in the build as it was an 15 year old RC battery pack that wasnt up to much for RC use

I'm waiting on AW to finish the regulated version of his D mag switch with some e-moli cells and a WA1111 or the similar Phillips 7388 (little brother to the 5761)

with that set up I'm pretty sure you won't have any problem ( with heat at least...)
