Is this increasing your organization or just making it harder to get to the RC? It seems like it's just a protective housing - is that right? As far as weight goes, I guess that's worth it. I've seen many pins get mashed up when RC's get hit by elbows and robots.

maybe im just thinking like generalbrando, but personally i see tons of problems here. there is no direct access to the rc in there and also i notice alot of area for shorts. What happens when the rc overheats and starts to smoke or actually ignite on fire, ive seen that happen before. You said it takes at least 30 secs to get to it, in 30 secs, the rc will be destroyed. Also on the topic of overheating, i see no fans or cooling device(s). Like i said i see many problems here, corerect me if im wrong, but i think this is a disaster waiting to happen.
