A DIY RC Transmitter Case

Obtain a cardboard or plastic box that will accommodate your transmitter. For more durability, use a hinged, plastic carrying case.

Measure the inside length, width and height of the box. Transfer the inside measurements of the box to the foam rubber with a permanent marker.

Cut the foam rubber to the required inside dimensions for the box, using scissors. Test-fit the foam rubber in your box. Trim additional material off the foam rubber if necessary.

Unscrew the antenna from the transmitter, if possible, to provide additional protection and reduce the need for a larger storage box. Some transmitters do not feature a removable antenna, depending on the type, make or model.

Center the transmitter on top of the foam rubber. Trace the exterior outline of the transmitter, using the permanent marker.

Cut out the traced portion of the foam rubber with a sharp hobby knife. Test-fit the transmitter, which should fit snugly within the cut-out but not warp the exterior dimensions of the foam rubber. Shave off any excess foam rubber material for a better fit, if necessary.

Trace and cut out a small slot next to the transmitter to accommodate the removed antenna, if applicable. If a large gap exists between the exposed portions of the transmitter and the top of the case, fashion a small foam rubber insert to cover the exposed area. The insert will prevent the transmitter from moving back-and-forth within the box.
