I beg to differ. Basketball is boring.
Just been on the website and I can’t find the enclosure now. He may have stopped production but send him a pm see what hes got.

I beg to differ on top of that. They’re both boring

Glad you got what you needed in amongst the silliness.
We just make it more interesting to learn compared to the “family friendly” version

Cool, Im too much of a wussy to keep it on while it charges… I figured something bad would happen 
Yeah that’s my voltmeter.
Just a loopkey

You could wire the meter before the loopkey and use the switch on the meter to turn it off and on.
If it’s bypassed around the BMS, then accidentally leaving it on could destroy your battery…
So if you do that, put it on the BMS discharge lead (P-) even if your ESC comes right off the battery (B-)
You mean it could discharge the battery?
Yeah you don’t want always-on stuff hooked to B-
P- is much safer. You can still run your ESC and loopkey from B- though.
I actually like your remote meter idea above all else even though that meter would take ages to discharge a battery in the event you forgot about it. I have one hooked to my test pack and very rarely switch it off and that piece of shit is an lg chinesium. Been holding at 50% for at least 3 months.

Buying from a fibreglass supplier rather than a typical hardware or specialist store can be a lot cheaper.
But there is a lot to learn and it is quite labour intensive… I made a thread here, I’m not finished yet
Edit: also some good stuff here
@glyphiks Thing with suppliers that kills me as always is shipping
Edit: I’ve been reading your thread all day
True, but definitely worth shopping around, making a few phone calls to local businesses that use fibreglass.
Yeah that’s pretty much plan c 
Planning on buying small quantities of joint tape, car repair fiberglass patches and epoxy tomorrow and see if its doable and if I like the process of it enough to invest
Make sure you get epoxy, not the polyester resin that’s sometimes used for boats etc. That stuff is super nasty and hard to work with compared to epoxy.
One way to tell if the containers don’t say, is epoxy is usually a 1:1, 2:1, 5:1 etc ratio of part A and B. The polyester is like 99% resin and ten drops of hardener. So if you see one big container and a tiny squeeze tube, don’t buy that, it’s horrible.

Oh…bummer that’s what I had in mind looked like
Edit: I think the name was bondo glass ?
Edit#2: OMFG…just looked at prices online for 2 part epoxies…think science might wait a bit till I buy the replacement components of my build
