Anyone need FREE foam? - 03.11.2006, 10:12 PM

In a nutshell, I'm giving out free foam (plus cost of shipping). More specifically:

As you all know, foam is very hard to find. At least for me. Every stationary store (ups store, usps, etc.) only carrier styrofoam popcorn, bubble wrap, foam (but has horrible cusioning properties). So I ordered this absolutly huge thing of foam online...1/4" x 54" x 45". It was the only size avaliable, and it costs $50! I don't think that is fair, so I'm passing the foam onto you guys.
This is the perfect foam for electronics. It is 1/4 inch thick, so it isn't too thin on its own, and it isn't too thick when doubled up. It has a somewhat low density (not too low though), meaning that it is not a good insulator. Since it is not a good insulator, you can put it all over any electronic device without risking overheating.
My personal devices protected with this foam are: ESC (especially the undercarrage...protect those FET's), batteries (mine are lipo, but i'm sure it will do the job with NIMH), mx3 Rx (not really to cushion, but to retain the rx from rattling around in the reciever box), UBEC (I completly covered the UBEC in foam, then zip tied the whole thing down).

So i'm giving away free foam for the cost of shipping. Give me any dimension smaller than 54" x 45." No order larger than 9" x 9" per person...or else their won't be enough for everyone! 9" x9" is enough for one truck anyway. Contact me if interested, paypal only!

Thanks!

Sheesh! Where were you a couple weeks ago!? http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2487

Sounds like a nice idea though and generous too.

And BTW: not to be nitpicky, but I believe "allusive" in your sig should read "elusive".

i could use a piece to put under my 9920 which is what? 3 1/2" X 1 1/2" though if you want to send a piece that could do that a few times, that'd be awsome too, i have a ubec but i think i'll be fine without foaming it. btw i live in canada, if that's not a problem pm me

:edit:

is this that white plasic foam or more like the foam that you line seats with (motor bike, bike, cars etc.)

Its like the foam you would find in furniture, or cheapo bed topings (not the tempur pedic type).

I'll send you a 7.5x4 inch thing. That should do for your esc. Anything else ya want?
