Improvised Receiver Box

[dwarfy]

Any ideas for marder? Anyone made their own or used something other than the std box? Its a bit tight for the receiver and battle switch so need to find some thing a bit bigger.

Not sure and I might be wrong but I read somewhere that one of the clones has a radio box that is alot bigger than the original FG item.

Or get yourself a small tupperware box with 4 locking tabs.. got mine from morrisons but then again I keep sugar in mine not radio gear:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

dwarfy- I've been working on a MCD Monster Truck and could not get all the servo wires, battery, and receiver in the box provided.
I used a Traxxax receiver box: it's pretty much water tight. Drilled a 3/8" hole in the bottom and on top of my main receiver/battery box and glued them together with RTV and used three small bolts to hold them together.

Here a a couple of pictures

Maybe something like this http://www.maplin.co.uk/general-purpose-abs-plastic-box-a-e-series-43708?ordercode=N67FK
There are loads or sizes to choose from.

have you considered designing one yourself and having someone make it out of acrylic?

I have the KB V1 on my other marder but this 1 came with a battle switch. The receiver box was trashed with lid missing so need a new 1 anyway. I have been assured that the switch works fine so will give it a go. If not then it will be off to Rossmods for another KB V1

Acrylic?
Your kidding? Right?
Acrylic wouldn't last 5 minutes.

i run a t-maxx battery box on my car. its got enough room for the on/off switch, a jr 310 receiver, killer bee, and the direct power wiring harness. it is tight with all that stuff in there, and i cringe at the thought of having to change channels at the track, but it does all fit.
