Hi Lee wow 2400w am impressed with that much power they look quite small would like to see the case .

Hi grayham that looks great the blue looks fantastic and the case is small i like it. Cml001 another great looking case i love that you can see inside looks cool both great jobs happy flying. :wavey:

Hi Graham I have been that busy never seen yours she's looking great can't wait to see her finished.

Hi cml001 thanks am glad you like the diagrams how is your portable power supply getting on did you eventually put some fans on it to keep it cool or has it been ok:wavey:

Hi Grayham your wires as follows. 10= Red. 6 = Black. 4 = White. 8 = White. This diagram is like mine but for the number 4 white wire which I did not use but am sure this will work fine do not forget the blue bridging wire any problems just ask.

Hi Graham wiring the volt meters is easy just a case of two wires I used the Futaba extension leads and connections to make it easy for when you pop the lid on just connect up. on the 12v side I used some ring connections onto the binding posts.

Hi Graham this is the 10awg wire diagram its the same as mine. Hope this is helpful any problems let me no.

Cml001 I forgot to mention about how I cut the plexi its a bit late I no . well first I did not take the plastic film of good protection and easy to see the lines put onto it. then make a template out of thin ply or cardboard anything very easy to work with. then I marked out with template and...

Sorry about delay Slobberdog and am not that good on computers don't no how to put the web page on. But that's the case It looks a good case for the price and now at £40 I'm tempted to get one and check the difference between that and the pelican case and use for my spare dell power supplys

hi Graham I see the parts are coming together. In the uk Maplin do a high impact case its inside dimensions are 485x355x186mm which is similar to the Pelican 1550 which is 482x368x195 the Maplin case is £50 not that cheap but a lot cheaper than a pelican

Cml001 hi the bullets on the power supplys look great and I really like the idea to shrink them. The switches you used are they push switches or soft touch they look good to. smaller case than mine I think nice and tidy I really like it.

Cml001 any pictures are welcome on this thread I have been told never say no to pictures. Sounds like a great build and you will be able to see inside with being clear I really like the sound of that. Can't wait to see the pictures and inside at the wiring I could do with ideas and tips for my...

Slobberdog is correct you don't want anything to get hot or melt. Cml001 wow that charger you got is a beast 500w at 12volts I make that 41amps. Hobbyking has two that would be ok a heavy duty set 1 black 1 red 12-24volt 100amps they are like the ones I used on my build they feel solid and good...

Is there any symbols adjacent to the connections like earth symbol and the like and maybe you might have to put a bridging wire from one connector to one of the led only ones to provide electric to the leds like I did

Hi cml001 sorry for the delay but no worries I will get back to you. My pelican case looked like crap but hinges and latches were ok so cleaned it up with lighter fluid as long as hinges latches ok should be good. About the fans air go's into the power supplys cool then as it passes through them...

Cml001 patience my friend once you sort out what your putting the power supplys in it does not seem long before its finished. If you use the same idea as me and have ply wood or something similar to keep the power supplys in place it makes it easy to use a template say out of cardboard this made...

Hi Slobberdog sorry about delay been away. Yes at the end of the build though we have the same watts but you have less cost. I did get the pelican case second hand of ebay. I now have two Dell power supplys and thinking of another project and this time thought I might save some money and get a...

]cml001 I hope you enjoy the build as much as I did. Regarding the ventilation I did not want to drill holes in a good pelican case I preferred to keep it water and dust proof and then maybe later I could use it again for something. Tony assured me no extra fans would be needed however I did put...

slobberdog great charging box really like all the room in it. My toggle switches that I used were not as straightforward as the switches you used there are three connections on mine and I had to use a bridging wire as u can see on the right hand side of the picture from one connector straight to...
