I just use a deep Plano plastic fishing takle box tray, it would hold 8, but I use one section for my large spare parts. I only have 4 batteries but I run 4 classes... Would like to have 8 though! I will soon enough, thanks to Turnigy and their SWEET Nanotech packs!

Another good option are the Pelican brand cases. I picked one up an a sporting goods store that was designed to hold a couple of hand guns. They are air tight, waterproof, and damn near un-breakable.

I haven't needed more than one since LiPo's came out?
Ok four 10 minute qualifiers with e buggy when each pack only lasts 15 minutes.

Then four 10 minute qualifiers with a e truggy right after the buggy qualifying.

Then you have a buggy and truggy main that's 10 minutes.

And I don't wanna be charging at the track. So I charge everything right before I get to the track. The batteries are labeled buggy 1 buggy 2 etc... so when I pull one I will know which is the next fully charged battery. I don't like stressing my lipos by immediately charging them after use.

Yup, I can fit all seven of my Batteries in a .30 cal, and my Venom charger. No padding, but they're hard case LiPo's for a reason.

The Racer's Edge case has been discontinued.
