ProTek RC Universal Radio Case (No Insert)
About this part
This is the ProTek R/C Universal Radio Case. Everybody loves getting a new radio system. What everyone would love to avoid is the additional cost of a new radio case to protect that fancy new radio. So the minds behind ProTek R/C have developed an all in one solution that will allow you to use a single radio case to protect your current transmitter, with the flexibility to protect the transmitters you buy in the future!
The case itself features a tough aluminum shell, with reinforced corners, locking latches and a high density foam lined interior, all in an effort to withstand the potential punishment and abuse that occurs during transportation. But what makes this case unique is the replaceable high density foam inserts* that allow the case to accommodate a variety of transmitters on the market! This includes Airtronics, Spektrum, KO Propo, Futaba and JR! Simply purchase the foam insert that fits your transmitter, and use the same case over and over. ProTek R/C has developed another unique and incredibly flexible product that will keep your gear safe, and has the potential to be one of the best storage investments you can make.
*NOTE: Foam insert not included and must be purchased separately.

I really like this case, my MT-4S fits nice and snug. Although the fabric(felt?) on the walls of the bottom section is peeling off a little in the corner, it's not a big deal really, nothing a bit of glue can't fix, just be careful when inserting the foam as it can peel it back. There is a small scratch on the bottom on the outside, but again not a major issue. I'm just nitpicking..you wont be disappointed.
Well this is my first purchase at this shop and i JUST have NO WORDS to describe my satisfaction!!!!A++++++ e-shop!!! Explaining: I purchased this transmitter case on 16/2/2014 and i got it in my hands on 22/2/2014!!!!!!Shipping from US to Greece!!!! Very short period for such a trip :):):) SUPERFAST shipping SUPERSAFE package (the case came in a box TWICE its size and was full of AIR BUBBLES ,hope i describe it correctly) SUPER PRICE (Unlike other "high brand" transmitter cases that cost DOUBLE price have their sides made of wood and use metal only on the edges THIS ONE has all of its sides ALUMINUM made and on the edges a very hard plastic(?) or some kind of plastic but very hard. With the right foam insert my Spektrum DX9 fits nice and i now feel safe (and different as i haven't seen anyone here in Greece who owns this case hehehe :) There's a video on you tube VERY helpful to watch carefully this transmitter case specs. I believe i made an excellent purchase. Thank you amainhobbies :)
I did some research before ordering this case. I have a Spektrum DX6 and thought about how cool it would be to have a custom made Spektrum case to take to the field. Having "Spektrum" on the side to show off my brand is cool, right? Well, then I read some of your reviews. Concerning the "custom" Spektrum case, I read things like, "The foam inside isn't very supportive" and "I had to trim the foam for the transmitter to fit properly". Then I read the reviews on this case and ordered it. Your reviews are right! The foam is a perfect fit for the DX6. The foam is also very supportive. This box will protect my transmitter far better than the original box, and it adds a lot of style. It's a great looking case and appears to be very solid. I'm gonna crack this baby out at the field, and people will actually think I know what I'm doing! My only complaint - it came with a small dent, about 1 cm long on the top half. I don't know if that came from the factory or happened in shipping. It's not enough to bother my AR butt though. This is a great box. With the liner that must be purchased with the case, it's about the same price as the "custom" name brand case. My advice? Go with this one.
I haven't given much thought to having a case for my transmitter... yet WOW... this case is built tough... and solid... I'll use it now... because all it takes, is one good fall, and your play day is over, once you break your transmitter...This case is built as well as any gun case I have ever owned... simply order the correct insert, and you're on your way... great product.
Very nice and sturdy case. It is even better than some other more expensive cases I have. Will buy more.
Reviewers overwhelmingly rate this hard radio case highly, praising its sturdy build, good looks, and the ability to carry spare receivers, servos and batteries in the foam compartments. Several note the case is sold without foam insert, which must be purchased separately for a radio fit, and many say inserts fit their specific transmitters well (including Futaba, Sanwa, Airtronics, Spektrum and KO models). Recurring minor issues include interior lining peeling at the corners, which can complicate inserting foam, and a small scratch on one unit. Some reviewers mention the case is bulky, lacks a shoulder strap, and that its latches are unsuitable for TSA-approved padlocks when flying. Price is described as reasonable compared with brand-name cases.
