I'm "blessed" with an overactive imagination. When I was racing I had
the thought that the car might end up in an "unusual attitude" with
battery acid dripping on me. I found a battery box from a boat supplier
that, although it didn't seal the battery, made it very unlikely it
could leak on me even if the car was in the "right" position to allow
that to happen. Never got a chance to test it (thankfully), but I plan
to do the same with the Mini racer I'm preparing.
