Those quick connects look like a great idea. Auto parts store?
Although I do pop the lid off of the battery box to transport it, since it is a fairly flat package that way. So not that much to just connect the clips and go.
Aluminum would work well also, but I had the pvc already, and it is just about as light. The 2 X 4 could be smaller. I thought about doing something narrower off of the middle of the top of the box.
But for that I wanted to use two more 90 degree elbows to connect the two arms together where they would be attached to the top of the box. I didn't have anymore elbows and didn't want to go to town, so I took it off of the sides of the box.
The other reason is that I had to compromise on the height so that it would fit both the FC4 and the Renegade. In the Renegade the battery sits up higher and if I came off of the top of the box it would be a problem.
