Looks pretty cool though! (Maybe change the wording of your post to reflect something you threw up for yourself, with people being able to contact you if they're interested in how they can do it themselves, then just offer to build it for them in private...)

Thanks for the heads up and the advice. I hope they dont shut me down for this. Im just tryin to share a box with my fellow rotor heads. I dont do this for a living and Ive never been a vendor before. Well see I guess.

Wow that's an awesome looking batt box kit! What fmic kit are you using? Im leaning towards getting the Blitz fmic and this would go great with it if was able to fit.

Good looking box! I think the product development/group buy thread would have been the location for this thread. Looks awesome!

Thank you. The FMIC is a custom welded setup, not a kit.
I will see if I could get the thread moved to that location. Thank you!

This is a great looking piece but I think you would have better luck producing one that fits inside the rear passenger bin. Heaven forbid i had a fire under the hood I would want to limit damage by killing power, lifting the hood to hit the disconnect would only feed the fire. Which is why i have my battery in the passenger bin with a disconnect.

Just my two cents.

you need to tie down the battery in the bin so it doesnt become a projectile during an accident.
looks amazing though

My thoughts exactly, it is not a safe setup as is.

You should post in the other forum where you don't need to be a vendor. Doing this here is sort of a slap in the face to paid vendors.

Understood, not trying to slap paid vendors. I have no need to make these so I wont post anymore of my projects. There are holes to be made around the edge to screw this to the bin btw. Not that plastic would keep a battery in place if you roll your car anyways.

Thank you
