XB8E 2022 Receiverbox

thingiverse

I race an 1/8th TeamXray XB8E-buggy. The 2022 model has a new layout and no longer a specific protecting box for the receiver. I designed a new box which can be mounted next to the ESC and steering-servo. It is a tight fit but works just fine. No interference with the servo horn whatsoever. It can/should be mounted on the esc-plate with some decent velcro-tape or with a bolt. When using the bolt, you should drill a 3.2mm hole through the esc-plate (easy, it's plastic). Check the pictures, plan to see where the hole should be drilled exactly. Pictures are from on of the last prototypes (I made 11 :D ). I tweaked it a tiny bit lately to give a bit more fiddling room for the ESC. Does fit my Futaba R334SBS-receiver but also a Sanwa RX482 (with antenna integrated) I provided plugs to close the second wiring-hole AND for the antenna-hole. I printed it in PLA and in PETG. I prefer PETG as it is less affected by heat .. but it will require a well-tuned slicer and 3d-printer "Walls" are 2mm thick. All feedback appreciated ******************************************************* Update may, 5th '22: new version (Boxy_vXIV) + Boxy_vXV which has a higher lid. Same outer dimensions, more room on the inside. Better fitting lid. Extra bolt-hole. !Does need a decent-tuned printer. ********************************************************
