Ooh that looks interesting but I’ve got a bigger top mount box so it would need to be a good bit longer.

Just link two or three straps together. I think with those straps I linked, you would have enough length to work with.

Here’s how far one of the Onetigris straps will get you, so two should fit just about any size box. This Apache box is a little over 4" tall, for reference.

Nice list! Thanks for doing all the hard work. 
Bookmarked. And in the price wars, it looks like Apache/Harbor Freight comes out on top. I’ve got like 5 of the Apache 1800 boxes for various things, and they seem plenty durable and capable for our uses. Plus, there’s a lot less anxiety when it comes to drilling and cutting out holes, cause if you mess up, you’re only out $13 instead of $40-50+.

Here’s my first single drive build using Harbor Freight’s Apache enclosure housing @TheRef’s 10S3P P42A pack and a Pelican 1040 case for the VESC6:

3d printed walls with slide in 6mm hex standoffs. Send cut send aluminum plates. ESC and 8Ah of lipos all inside. External balanced charged.
Old photo, but it’s held up pretty well all summer to abuse.

3D printed boxes with wooden bottom. The lids and hinges are also 3D printed. The battery box contains 8x5000mAh LiPos (4S2P) that are externally balance charged, so a set of 3D printed thumbscrews are used to quick swap them. On top of the PETG walls there’s a TPU gasket so the thumbscrews have something to press on, reduce rattling noises and prevent moisture from getting in.

That looks really nice! I would love to see the hinges and thumb screws in action!
