Armattan Mongoose VTx and Rx tray

thingiverse

Couldn't find one that met my requirements, so I designed my own. Built to hold an old-style VTx (TS5823L, etc.) just like the SCX frames. Includes a small tray at the bottom to keep a Rx like the FrSky XM, XM+, RXSR, or similar in size (12mm or smaller in width); includes slots for a zip tie to secure the Rx down. No provision is made for antenna tubes. I plan to use zip ties off the rear arms and route the antennas around the standoffs. Two versions are available: one with an XT60 cutout, one without. The idea is to be able to pass an XT60 connector through the plate with the battery lead. Printed in a material of your choice, I've used PLA. 40% infill, supports only touching the build plate for the first design, and supports everywhere for the second. Update: Added a V3, which is divided into two parts, a top and a bottom. This makes it simpler to print without needing full supports, just touching the build plate on the bottom part. It will also be simpler to insert and remove the battery lead. I recommend using the V3. Update 2: Added an alternate upper V3 VTX holder and plate. This one has fingers that extend out along the VTx antenna. The intent is to hold battery lead wires, and provide some protection from the propellers if you're going for a top-mount battery. It's better than just hoping for the best. The gap between the fingers and the VTx antenna is just enough to squeeze 14ga wire by, firmly retaining the wire passed through. Either the lead from the quad or the battery can be used, with the battery lead tucked through the strap to keep it safe from the propellers, even in a crash.
