Kraton Larger Receiver Box

[memzer0]

Hello Guys.

Sry for my bad English, i'm from Germany..

I got now my Kraton with a Spectrum Dx4.

The Stock Receiver Box is too small for the Spectrum Receiver.
Which Box i can use as alternative?

Thx very much for your help.

Does have nobody any idea or tip for me?

Comm'on please..

This box is bigger than the stock Arrma receiver box.

It won't fit on my Kraton in the stock receiver box position.

 

[memzer0]

Ok.

Can i glue that, or what options i have too fix that on the chassie?

By the way, thx fir your time and help.

 

[stewdogg]

Just use two sided tape to attach it to the chassis.

I can look when I get home from work to see where it would fit best on the Kraton chassis.

Thx very much!

Is it a waterproof receiver? If not, do not get it wet

 

[memzer0]

No it's definetly not waterproof.
I need a larger box.

I was going to suggest traxxas. Shouldn't be too difficult to figure out how to mount one.

OP, it may be better to just get a smaller receiver. the tiny OrangeRX Spektrum compatible receivers are $15-$25, depending on where you get it and shipping, duties, etc. I don't know if you are actually in Germany or are just German and are elsewhere, but either way, it may be a better option to just get the smaller receiver. I run a GR300R in my Senton which has the same box yours does, as far as i know and there is plenty of room.

however, i am changing my radio and all my vehicles over to Futaba since i am never really happy with the range with any of my Spektrum equipment.

I also have the same Traxxas waterproof receiver box for my Traxxas TSM receiver. I use velcro to secure it to the chassis in the location where the original box was.

 

[memzer0]

Sounds good.
Can you give me any pics please?

My personally idea was to glue that with a hot glue pistole..
But can it hold by this extreme conditions?

Hot glue will not work, just drill a couple of holes thru the chassis and mount ot with some button head screws.

 

[memzer0]

How do you fixed the velcro?
With glue?

 

[jonUF02]

Velcro comes with adhesive on it, peel and stick. Holds just fine. My ESC is also held by velcro. Much cleaner than tape when you need to change things.

 

[memzer0]

Ok that sounds good.
Bit have you glue the underside if the receiver box, and how have you fixed the velcro on the chassie?
With screw or glue or maybe with cable ties?

Thx for your patience sir.

[memzer0]

Understand..
Ok i will do that on weekend.
Thank you very much sir.
