How thick is yours there?

kkEdlund said:I have an aluminum box that I made. The lid is steel and fastens magnetically, and the body of the housing is attached to the board via double sided tape. It is sized for 2X 5Ah 3S lipos and a small ESC. The ESC in it now is larger than intended (120A instead of 80A) so it is a bit cramped. The pictures are pretty bad due to my cell phone camera, but you get the idea.

I know, I still think you have one of the best enclosures around. I still have a sheet of aluminum sitting around somewhere. I don't know how you got it so aesthetically pleasing. Your top cover did you edge out the sides? Carbon fiber is nice too. Would be nice if it was easily removable. Although, you could probably use some thumb screws to easily remove the cover. Does it get dirty inside your enclosure due to the mesh on the sides?

...would just have to scale the pins to the right size, or drive them through the housing and the deck. The locked ones would solve the problem in the "how to secure board" thread (at least secure the electronics).
drmacgyver said:1. What kinds of housing do you all use?
2. How do you have it secured?
3. How easily can you access the "innards"?

That board's cover is about 2 1/2'' deep. Believe it is 2.5mm kydex. I like your idea. Similar to how Evolve has encased their batteries in their carbon board? The trick for you is going to be how thick of a board you have to work with. 9 ply is probably thick enough to allow you to still have a functionally sound board when your done cutting some of the plys out. Do you have a board in mind already?
