Default Rx on a pede

How did you mount it?

The stock Rx is huge and fits nicely, but a futaba FASST receiver (or most any decent receiver) is rather small and would just bounce out.

I dont want to tape the receiver in their because I use it on my jato as well.

SO any ideas?

I use a receiver box off of a rc10gt2. You have to dremel out a lot of plastic from the chassis but it fits nicely. I also use the futaba fasst 3pm radio. It protects the receiver nicely. I just hate to have my 90 dollar receiver out open to the elements. Here are a few pics of mine.

I used an RC10GT receiver box by RPM similar to what is shown in post #3. I abuse my truck in such a manner that I was not comfortable zip-tying a $90 receiver to the shock tower, although I use that method on other cars.

Thank you. I have already widened the truck over 2 inches by using rpm rear arms and front wheels all around.

Or you can use a straw to protect the wires. It's not pretty, but it works.
