Pimp your electric box....
With e-toc coming up, were all looking to get as much practice as possible, this involves alot of battery charging, so I decided to setup an efficent charging system today, this is just how the box is organised for now, i got about 100 bucks to spend at radio shaq before she is complete, gunna get some led lights, an optical fan and pimp this thing out, so more or less this is gunna be a build thread on an electric flight box, but I figured im not the only one doing this, I mounted the power suply in a foam cradle verticaly, we are going to run 3 sets of banna jacks to the side of the box so we can run all 3 chargers at once. thats all im going to say for now, it will get better believe me... Here is a few pictures of a rough layout till the parts get here....more to come. If anyone else has a pimped out flight box lets see it!

Re: Pimp your electric box....
John I have to agree with you "pimpin" out your flight box is sweet ! I now have just about everything that I need to build a foamy right with me all the time it's just easier to keep things together when you keep all the foamy supplies in one spot ! chargers glue carbon fiber spare control horns and of course batteries ! here is my set up two years of setting up a foamy box has evolved into this..... ( two boxes now...)
Hope you like it ! Devin McGrath |

Re: Pimp your electric box....
Here's my quick charging/battery box setup. A $20 case from Home Depot, some bolts and Velcro. I can charge 6 packs at a time, with some foam-padded battery storage and some extra room for whatever.
