does anyone use a battery backpack to carry their batteries or do all of you use lipo packs glued to the underside of the board?

Everyone uses lipo packs underneath the board from what I've seen.
I think battery packs with a wire to your pack would be kind of dangerous since there are times I jump off or want to get off without anything attached to myself.
I do swap packs occasionally but it's much less since switching to 12S 5ah.
Here are packs in sets which I velcro together and have velcro on the bottom which are secure on the board. I then wrap them in these 7"/8"/9" soft tablet cases. Fits perfectly. Wires are wrapped around the sides and separate from each other to prevent any shorted connection within my backpack.
I usually grab 1 or 3 packs depending on the Wh/Power I need. I also added those green/red battery slider things on hobbyking to know if a pack is full charge and/or no charge.

Does anybody have troubles with the components over heating with it all sealed up in the box? There would be minimal heat transfer out with it sealed up watertight, so wondering if this is causing other problems?

No issues with heat. Especially, moving to 12S all components seem to not get warm at all much.

How about using a vacuum former and make your own enclosures?
2mm polystyrene sheet or kydex?
Bond an aluminium sheet to it as a skid plate.
Its a bit of work and research but you'll end up with a custom box to your dimensions.
YouTube it.

I've had a couple of successful tries at vacuforming. Give it a shot. (Check my builds for some pictures)
