Reciever Boxes?
 

Does anyone know where to get a reciever box? Not the huge ones like you see on nitro vehicles - something for the reciever only. I want some kind of plastic box that I can also attach the antennae to. Any ideas? Thanks!

Wow, that one looks pretty good actually - thanks!

You can use all sorts of things for a box. RadioShack project enclosures work ok, but need a bit of modding usually. Or, you can mod the nitro receiver box to suit your needs. For instance, I cut out part of a Mugen MBX5 rx box and it's the prefect size for a Spektrum rx and a little bit of excess servo wire.

I like the slash box, waterproof, you can get them on ebay for about $5

I was going to suggest the E-revo baox but the slash's is prolly the same one

Well, I bought the Slash box at the LHS and it's just too big to fit the area I'm looking to put it. I'm trying to put it on the right hand side mud guard in front of my motor. Kind of in between the motor and the servo.

It's turning out to be a tough fit. I might have to try Radio Shack as suggested. If I could find out the dimensions of the GT2 box that might work too, but I can't find that info anywhere. Thanks for all the help so far guys. Any other ideas?

These are my favourite:

I have an original t-maxx Rx box thats going spare- never used it as my old FM rx was too large to fit inside & mount on my Gmaxx. I dont have dimensions, but can measure it up if you're interested- just pay S&H..

Try looking at other manufactures. I know OFNA and HPI had some smaller boxes than Traxxas typically does. RPM also used to sell a radio box.

this is the smallest box i have found . i use it my my GTP .

Does it have an antenna mount?

no but you can mount one to the lid . I use this one . it works very well .

Ok, I actually have a couple of those laying around. I'll go to the lhs to see if they have a small RX box.

You guys are all awesome - thanks for the great info. I found a great box at the LHS this weekend made by RPM - basically a replacement for the Associated GT2. I'll post some photos of the install after I finish a couple things. It ended up working really well.
