Though it is safer as you're less likely to have a component come free while traveling at high speeds.
Oh and just to prove everyone makes mistakes, I made not only the nice panel that I previously posted, but the year before that I had a cool idea to make a removable box, well:
Now, this isn't such a bad idea so long as you find an effective way to
deal with masses of PWM cables. I think I handled the power cables well with the Anderson connectors, you can see 2 plugs with all of the power cables contained coming out of the top. Along with a battery plug. It would've been clean if it was just those 3 plugs, but when we added sensors going into the box, I just had no well-planned way to handle them and it became a great mess.
Now it still only took about 4 minutes to remove or install but only about 10 seconds of that was spent on the power cables.
If you're planning for an electronics box, make sure you look at all the examples out there from the past on chief delphi and such and learn from mistakes and improve upon existing designs.
