I was looking for the same thing and finally gave up and ordered a bed topper for mine from RPP Hobby $24.95. "thumbsup"

If you are a crafty type person ( which I am not) you could always just make one out of styrene sheet!

What are the dimensions of that toolbox?

The TSC box is made to hold a gift card so I don't think its very wide. I got tired of looking for the right size so i just made one. They're not hard to make, I just used a styrene magazine holder and glued 1/10 scale diamond plate on.

I just got some scale diamond plate recently and plan to make my own toolbox. I bought the proline toolbox months ago but it's for 1/10 kits. the tf2 isn't 1/10 scale so the toolbox is a bit small. I was gonna just use the diamond plate but like the idea of gluing it on a plastic box.

i would almost be willing to pay you to make me one but i can make it my self i just didnt know if they were made for the trucks or not, but thats my plan, also how is your box held in place?

also where do i buy the styrene? i was thinking of using thin sheet steel and putting a thin layer of foam on the inside to keep it from shorting anything out,

Rc bros makes one, check out my tf2 thread, I had one in it for a while. It can definitely hold a lipo battery.

I used a styrene magazine holder I found at work and cut it up. It's 0.08" thick. You can order styrene from Tower, RPP or AMain or check a local shop. I got the aluminum diamond plate from Hobby Ect, local to me but they do mail order.
I attached the box with double sided tape.
