LiPo Hard Cases

[Monkey Wrench]

Anyone know of you can purchase a hard case for LiPo batteries?

I have a Losi Mini-B and the shop nearby requires a hard case for the batteries to carpet race.

I bought two more 2-cell packs but they did not come as a hard case.

Before I go through the hassle of returning them, thought I'd see if I can just get a case for them.

Anyone know of these cases even exist?

Never seen actual lipo hard cases sold separately than the battery. I would get those dynamite ones I linked above. I got 2 of them for my mini b. Work just fine. Just a little less run time than that 1200 mah protek pack you have.

Other than the stock batteries I'm not aware of any other LiPos that small that are hard cased. I'm also not aware of any external cases you can put around a lipo either. Not saying neither item exists but I'm not aware of any.

The mini b RTR comes with 650 mah dynamite pack. They offer the 800 mah dynamite pack as a upgrade.

Now, whether they sell them for your specific batteries - you'll have to do some digging. I kinda doubt it. My suggestion would be to find someone to 3d print some for you, or find out what batteries the shop recommends.

Thanks all, didn't even think of the 3D printing! My son has two printers, maybe he can help me out.

Tell him to use PET if he can.

I know this thread is an older one but I too am looking for a solution for a hard case battery for my Mini B

Most Shorty packs are hard cased

The only hardcase batteries I know are the stock Dynamite (well now Spektrum smart) packs, and I believe Gens Aces pack for the Mini is a hard pack. I currently use cheap urgenex ones off of Amazon. They are a soft pack and they are pretty good batteries.

Or you could 3d print a case, or buy a case what Wickedfog linked

Guessing OP if he 3D printed his, I guess he had good results.
