rc reciever box

TL:DR: rc receiver box - can be installed with some quality velcro - two wire-openings from which one can be closed with a little insert - antenna opening optional.

LV: I switched from the Team Xray XB8E 2020 with "brick-battery" to a XB8E 2022 which has a saddle-pack-configuration ... but no longer a dedicated case or box to install the RC-receiver (RC =Radio Controlled DUH ;) ).

Featuring=

• Box
• lid
• Lid without antenna-hole
• plug

...

• The same but for a smaller size box
• a plug with smaller dimentions

I did not like the idea to install the receiver open without any (basic) protection from dust, moisture, water, mud .. so I designed a receiver-box myself, quickly 3D-printed it, installed it, .. and raced my car with it the next day.

It functioned just as it should.

I designed it with two cable-openings, as i wanted an "intake" for the ESC- and Steering-servo-wire, ... but also a seperate one for the transponder.

But as not everybody will need two openings, I also added a little plug.

If no holes needed (very strange but who knows), just print two plugs/buttons and close both openings.

As not everyone has a fine-tuned printer as is my [bragmode-warning] Prusa MK3S [/bragmode-warning] .. I added a slitly smaller plug/button also.

If that last one (button_toll) is too loose, you might considering printing the standard plug on 98% or maybe use some sand-paper.

My plug just fitted secure and nicely (.. again [bragmode-warning] )

I did print it in PETG!! as I positioned it next to the motor which sometimes gets very hot during races and PLA might/will not resist these temperatures.

No supports needed.

The lid fits tightly and is very secure. It can be closed with two m3 x 8 screws. Threading is not really nescessary but might be helpfull (I did not).

Also a large and a smaller version are included, and one with an antenna-hole in the lid and one without. 

I use some simple but very good FUTABA-receivers which need the antenna, as can be seen in the added pictures.

OFFCOURSE, this box can be used for other cars, other purposes.

If you might need one in a specific dimention, just send me a message.

ps: photos are from the first "outing", training and race. The ESC-motor_... wiring has been addapted as it should, and is much less messy now.
