DIY raptor box

[Standtrux]

Building my first Raptor Box. Taking a different approach on the box. I sunk the magnets on the inside. Cut the screws down and epoxied them in to give it a faux look. Hoping the guts go as well as the box itself. any tips appreciated! I'll be starting on that tomorrow.

Looks good man. The 1590B box should give you all the room you need to work with.

Hoping so. Nervous about getting the chip set right. I started with standard Mosfett boxes. Got those down pat. Any advice on building a raptor would be appreciated.

Biggest thing I can say about the raptor is figuring out layout. figure out how much wire to use, where the boards going and how you are going to fit it. I believe the box that you have should be tall enough to house the raptor chip without cutting any leads but if you do have to cut leads, try and make sure you dont cut off too much. Other than that the raptor is just like building the mosfett boxes, just with more wire.

Well. I got annoyed with building the raptor...for now. Turned the box into a series fully mechanical box.

I'm still going to build the raptor box I just needed something to get me through. Kind of stoked. It's an absolute beast. I used a standard 510 connector and a switch from my anarchist. Possibly the anarchist beast box?

Ive built a few raptor boxes. i really like them. What was your issue? i made one without a PCB layout and then two with PCBs from DickButt. I still have 2 PCB's that are just sitting here unused.

I love the magnet/ screw reverse idea, how's it working out?
