Arrow Does anyone make a high quality battery hauler?

I'm looking for a nice quality battery hauler for all my lipos to go in. I want something that is padded for each battery for safe travel back and forth to the tracks.

Anyone know of anything like that?

Common Sense RC has a battery case that holds 5 packs and has space for a charger. It works good for me...5 packs is what I use on a race night...and I have a small charger that fits in the other side perfectly.

harobor freight has a hard case with perforated foam inside that is easy to configure. In mine I carry my charger, power supply, and 5 batteries. It sells for about $22.00. Since I have got mine there about 5 other guys at the track that have gone and gotten them.

Would like to see pics. I have a local harbor freight and they do always have some cool storage boxes and tool boxes. I need to pay them a visit.

I'm more interested in finding out why on earth you need 5 batteries for a race?

I haven't needed more than one since LiPo's came out?

Probably doesn't just abuse one, probably just uses them one after another so they have an easier life and so he doesn't have to bother charging when he could be fixing an RC or something? I got NFI but I know I take a few when I race.

That's for 2 classes on one race night. I typically use 3 in one truck (one for each heat and one for the main) an 2 in the other (1 lasts for 2 heats, the 2nd for the main).

Racers edge has a cool little hardcase for batteries. Its under 20 bucks and I believe it holds five or six batteries.
