Perfect fit for my DX5i too. I took a shot on it knowing the DX5 is almost the same size as the radios listed. has 3 layers of foam which is great to protect the radio from the case as well when you close it up on the top and bottom.
Perfect fit for my DX6 & my case. Has a couple of other pieces already pre-cut that can be removed for battery storage or some props or what ever else you may want to carry along with your transmitter.
I'm disappointed that my DX9 & DX6 fit so loosely in the precut foam. I plan to alter the foam piece that comes out of the tx pocket to 'snug' the fit. Hopefully, since my bandsaw won't 'open' tall enough to make the necessary cut, the electric carving knife I plan to use will do an acceptable job. In other respects, the insert is well designed, with a solid foam bottom layer that fits under the cut-out layer. The foam itself seems to be spot-on in firmness for good support.
Doesn't fit for shit in my case. Universal fit my ass. I had to cut an inch of the top and 2 inches from the sides.i guess it only fits the protek case and none of the spektrum cases.
Reviewers report mixed fit. Two reviewers (one owning a DX5i, one a DX6) say the insert fits their radios well, and they note three foam layers and pre-cut pockets for extra items. Two verified owners found the fit loose or poor: one with DX9 and DX6 said the precut foam is too loose and planned to trim it, and another said the insert did not fit their case and had to be cut down to fit, suggesting it may only suit ProTek cases. One verified owner found the foam firmness well suited for support and the bottom layer well designed. Fit in non-ProTek cases is the main recurring concern.
