Default Foam in transmitter case

I dont know if this is the right place to post this! But I just got a Hanger 9 transmitter case and it has all these little cubes you take out to make the custom fit for your controller. The only thing is once you get the right fit by taking them out, all the other ones are not holding all that great. So sometimes when you take the unit out or put it in more of the cubes fall off. Is there any way to somehow glue them so they dont come apart? Does anyone know what im talking about!?

GHawsJR,

Next time you think of getting a transmitter case, consider the 4-pistol casses at rural Wal*marts for less that $9.00. Also available at Academy for $9.95. They hold two (2) transmitters very nicely. They come with three layers of foam. You cut out the space for the sticks. The rest of the foam stays together.

I replaced the foam with the larger cube size the 1X1 same type just larger squares it holds together better than the smaller stuff.
I just used the extra foam I had for battery padding a 3X5 piece works well, pop the center cubes out and it holds a square battery great, also it is great for fuel tank padding, tear it to fit the size you need .

There is a wonderful 1" thick foam padding that Wal-Mart sells that is primarily used for padding chairs and such. The stuff I bought was yellow and was sold in a pack of four. I use it for everything from tank and receiver and battery cushioning and it would be great for cushioning radio systems. Get rid of the setup you have and use the foam you get from Wal-Mart, and it can be trimmed to fit around the control sticks.

You may check out Home Depot, I am sure they have some kind of foam padding such as I mentioned. Or if you have a
K-Mart or such, they would have it.
