¶ Receiver box
The MX8E does not come with a receiver box in the kit.
The community have created many different variations of 3D printable boxes, depending on your requirements.
Mayako has selected Raymond Shell's design as the favoured option, providing adequate space for most receivers and transponders.
The box can be either screwed or taped onto the sideguard as required. This design (or very similar designs) have been tested by members successfully around the world.
Please find the downloadable files here to print your own receiver box here
