Where to buy die-cut foam for battery trays?
 

A buddy and I are trying to mock up some battery trays out of steel until mike gets the twin force trays in stock. we now have the bare metal trays, but I was hoping to line them with that thin die-cut foam to help cushion and prevent shorts.

Where can I find this stuff? So far nobody even knows what im talking about at the hardware stores lowes/menards etc... (is there another name for the stuff?)

Any help is appreciated! I was hoping to not have to just use electrical tape!

Yeah, you mean that thick and rather hard grey/black foam.. I use it for my speakers as well, the thickness i use is about 3 mm, i also know that it is available much thicker though,

i got mine from a hobby shop (for children)

Ya, the stuff mike uses on the g-maxx chassis (i think he does) and what a few have used on their metal trays for their e-revos.

Now that we thought about it, we might just plasti-dip them :)

You could try searching 'craft foam' on ebay.Lots of this sort of stuffhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Extra-Large-Sh...QQcmdZViewItem .That stuff's 2mm thick,don't know if that's the sort of thing.
FMA make impad but that's more like 6mm thick to absorb impacts.

Alright thanks for the info, but I think we are going to go the plasti-dip route.

I will have to post pics if it turns out (hopefully it does, we have a lot of time in these trays!)
