Cool beans - congrats! You don't happen to have the old soft case Futaba bag(with orange letters not red) to sell now would you? The bag I have is actually for the 3PK, a little large for my 3PM.
 
Naa. I never even considered the soft case. It has always been the hard case or nothing.. in which it was nothing for a long time. :)

Yum...yeah...lol. JK. Anyway I know what you mean on the hard cases. I scored some pelican cases for the very right price in three sizes and they are amazing for what I use them for. One is big enough to put a 1/8 buggy fuel and pit tools in. A bit heavy for a tote but damn tough. I like those chargers and the power supply is bad ass....how many outputs does that thing have?
 
It has 4 outputs total.

1x 20A
2x Switchable 16A
1x 500mah USB

I think I'm gonna take off those clamps from the input lines and install 4mm banana plugs. Also convert my adapters to banan plugs as well. I could just buy a couple "squids" but I can do the solder work for half the cost, plus I already have 4mm banana lines for Rx and Tx laying around anyways. I'd like to build a custom case for this setup, that would be nice.

I got a chance to work on this charging setup. The chargers came with long clip ends which I have no plans on using very often so I shortened the input lines to a reasonable length (12") and put on banana plugs. This was the first time I've installed banana plugs on a wire. I have to say it was a lot easier than putting a Deans plug on. I honestly held the plug with a pair of pliers over my stovetop and simply stuck it on the end of a tinned lead (of course I prepped the plug too). Now that's EASY. Nice and tidy!
