i appreciate the offer. nothing in my setup (psu, wires, solder joints, binding posts, ect) gets over 85 degrees...so i am going to stay with my current binding posts. at least until i get more/different batteries so i can use all of my charger. current i can only charge at 20A.

hey guys. my pit box fell out of my truck on November 28th. Someone picked it up in the 5 minutes it took me to turn around at the next stop light. if you see it or any of the stuff for sale or at the track ect...please let me know. I have a reward for its return.

I always like seeing how others have there pit boxes.
good luck in finding it!

thanks. i'm looking to build it again. i've found some other options for the power panel and soldering station mounting. i'll be sure to post info about the PSU in a toolbox V2 lol








for the soldering station

Pit Box V2 coming soon. Stay Tuned.

ill be adding a 6 port keystone wall plate to the box this time. it will have positive, negative binding posts, a usb port...and i will have room for one more thing. i might put two usb ports.

do you have any suggestions for this build?

A strap to hold it in your truck.

yeah...i got some bungie cords! ahahhaha. got me good iscream

Too soon? Sorry, just couldn't resist.

I was down in Huntsville over Thanksgiving and stopped by Hobby Barn. They had some panel mount binding posts labeled as 50 Amps. I grabbed 2 sets for $6 a pair. If you still need some you might give them a call.

50A? That's awesome. Can you post some pictures? Also, do you know which brand and model they are by chance? I'd consider ordering them. I was only able to find some nice and heavy ones rated for 20A

The packaging is pretty generic. I'll snap a couple pics and post them though. When I google search "50 amp binding post", I get quite a few results. Looks like Hobby King has these same posts.

Or, for $13, you could probably run 150 amps through these posts without them heating up.

The posts below are rated for 60 amps. Probably less chance of accidentally shorting them together than the ones I posted above too.

this is what i really need!! i still can't find it anywhere for sale? i edited a picture of their double size one.

If you're really set on using keystone panels, you could use something like this panel frame from Amazon

When I search for "inset keystone panel" or "inset low voltage panel" there seems to be some stuff out there.

Depending on the tools you have available, it might be easier to build your own inset panel. Below is what I did with the binding posts on a custom fiberglass sub-woofer enclosure I built for my car. It wouldn't be very hard to inset your posts like that using MDF or something.

when i built the first box...these are the binding posts i wanted to use. but i couldn't find them in stock in the US. thanks a lot for the link man!
