Looking good BTW. I have a FP 5000mah 5s and a 1515 1y and i get over 30 min run times and that is hard driving.

I bought a $3 fence paling from the hardware store, cut it up and used some clamps and a heat gun. I bent the lexan around the fence paling because the fence paling had nicely rounded edges. If you get the bend wrong you just heat it back up and re-bend it.

A heat gun puts off enough heat? sorry for hi-jacking the thread just really curious cause i want a box like that.

I'm talking about the heat guns that look like a hair dryer. They put out plenty of heat, too much if you aren't careful. If you heat it too much the lexan will bubble which you can see I have done on mine in a few places.
