12s8p top box enclosure

Hi everyone!

I’m in the process of building a new board. ATB setup with top box battery enclosure. Just wondering what people are using to house their components? Battery will be a 12s8p 18650.

Pictures, links etc all appreciated. It’s the last thing I need for me build and want it to be rather clean!

Thanks for the help everyone

I’ve seen others using pelican case for top mount enclosure.

I used this for mine :

My 10S4P have plenty of room, i could put two in there, i think a 12s8p can easily fit. The 2000 model is same width and lenght but taller.

Pelican boxes do the job pretty well

I use pelican cases for photography and I personally think its a little too clumpy? I really like the trampa box but at £275 it’s a little expensive.

I’d be interested to see if anyone has used a regular enc just mounted upside down , I have a similar question, I can’t bring myself to use pelican style on a thane board

I use this, not cheap but its pretty good looking and nice quality.

I use this for my trampa build. Holds a 12s2p 10ah lipo setup.

Pelican cases would be the better option though

From a distance that looks awesome. Do you have any closer pictures? Also what battery set up do you have?

This black one is going to fit perfectly in the black hole :smiling_imp:

This is what I used from amazon. It’s a little over sized so 9P may have fit but it would have been a bit tighter than I really wanted.

12S smart BMS on the front of it. So you could also probably put a 13th row of cells in there if you moved the BMS ontop but I wanted to keep more room above incase I decided to put the ESC or other items in the lid.

Thanks man! It’s an MBS Pro 97 deck

It had some cosmetic damage on the nose but needed cut anyway so I sent it to Mike and Tim to work their magic. Certainly won’t get any bite on my gear drives now.

I thought it might be. Looks sharp as hell (no pun)! I’m gonna use a comp 95. Hopefully it’ll be a solid deck to build upon. Hadn’t considered needing to modify to prevent bite. Not using gears tho, so might help to make a difference… excited to see this whip in all its glory!! Any recommendations for the hubs? Mine came with twistars which I likely won’t implement. They have the pro version of the rockstar or 5star which I’m considering, but not sure if it’s necessary.
Sorry to derail the thread people!!

I built a Comp 95 for my GF and it works worth the 72T pulleys MBS makes, running Matrix II and 5 Stars
