My little custom lipo project
 
So when I got my Hyperion EOS 5i dp AC/DC lipo charger and my SMC batteries, Plus all the accessories and hook ups, I was sick of breaking them out of all different kinds of boxes and cases. So I got this idea to build a case to keep everything I have all in one area. I went to Wallmart and picked up an aluminum CD case that comes with a shoulder strap and a lock for $22.00, Gutted it all out, and replaced the interior with custom molded foam and glued felt to the foam. So here is my custom charger case.

Same here, I got the real large one, CAN carry my TT-01... Don't do that anymore >_>

Now I have it storing two lipos, 2 NiMHs, 2 more NiMHs, 2 more LiPos, my DX3R w/ an extra RX, my BC6 and power adapters and whatnot..
The BC6 is taking up all the room, and I'm mad at it.:no:


EDIT:
I like how you glued the foam...

I have the soft ones... So I'm unsure how to glue that :neutral:


Everytime I pull something out, my foam comes out, and I have to reseat everything..
And a couple of my wires are being a beotch, so I have to fix that... My case is a mess. :oops:

Nice setup!..:yes: I really do need to make me some of these.. I've got tons of empty DeWalt cases laying around that should work nicely.. :wink:

Any words of wisdom from the wise to the unknowing.. :lol:

Heyy!
I can use some DeWalt cases and a ton of foam!

Heyyy, I'll be your best friend?


I used a white sharpie to outline my stuff, then xacto my stuff (but I had the square stuff, so I just took my finger, and grabbed it, and pulled it out.. (Something you'd expect the Linc to say...:lol:)

Don't go crazy with the foam, chill with it, be it, then cut it. :intello:

TDC57 01.07.2009 02:26 AM

Not a problem Sir.. I'll give you FREE case if you showup to our next So-Cal bash (??)

rawfuls 01.07.2009 02:33 AM

GRRRRRRR
Hmmm...
I mean, I did buy my own beast computer >_>

Maybe, he'll take me?

I'd probably only have my ESavage...
My EMaxx is in horrid shape...

Been breaking things left and right...
Just too tired on working on that..

Very nice! I've got 3 radios, a 1210i, about 10 lipos and more... I need a case.
