Key Features

• Durable Synthetic Fabric Outer — The case is constructed from high-quality, long-lasting synthetic fabrics that provide excellent resistance to wear, tear, and everyday damage, ensuring your transmitter remains protected through years of regular use and transport to RC tracks and events across the UK.
• Foam-Backed Soft Fabric Inner Lining — Rather than rigid plastic or hard foam, the interior features a carefully engineered soft foam-backed fabric lining that cushions your transmitter against impacts, vibrations and minor collisions whilst preventing movement inside the case during transport.
• Front Pocket — A practical additional storage compartment on the front of the case allows you to organise and carry essential accessories such as crystals, chargers, spare aerials, batteries or technical spares, keeping everything you need for a day at the track in one convenient location.
• Side and Top Carry Handles — Dual handles positioned on the side and top of the case provide comfortable, ergonomic carrying options whether you're grabbing the case quickly for a trip to your local RC club or carrying it for longer distances at competitive events or during field setup.
• High-Quality Zip Fastener — A premium-grade zip mechanism ensures smooth, reliable opening and closing without snagging, whilst providing a secure seal that keeps your transmitter safely contained and prevents accidental opening during transport or storage.
• Reinforced Seams — All seams throughout the case are reinforced with heavy-duty stitching to prevent separation, tearing or stress damage, particularly at stress points where the handles attach and where the main compartment meets the front pocket.
• Adjustable Internal Dividers — Flexible dividers inside the main compartment allow you to customise the internal layout to fit your specific transmitter model and any accessories you wish to store, keeping everything organised and preventing damage from components shifting during transport.
• Lightweight Design — Engineered to be as light as possible whilst maintaining full protective capability, this case won't add significant weight to your RC gear bag or collection of equipment, making it ideal for regular transport between home, workshop, and racing venues throughout the UK.
• Splash Proof Protection — The combination of quality synthetic fabrics and the high-quality zip mechanism provides effective splash and moisture resistance, protecting your valuable transmitter electronics from rain, spillage and damp conditions commonly encountered at outdoor RC events and workshops.

Technical Performance

This large soft transmitter case demonstrates exceptional build quality and engineering throughout its construction. The dimensions of 235mm length × 175mm width × 340mm height (or 9.25in × 6.89in × 13.39in for reference) provide ample space to accommodate larger Futaba transmitter models whilst remaining compact enough for convenient storage and transport. With a shipping weight of just 0.61kg (1.35lbs), the case adds minimal weight to your RC kit whilst delivering serious protective capability. The synthetic fabric outer combined with the foam-backed soft inner lining creates an effective two-layer protection system that absorbs impacts and shields against dust and moisture infiltration. The high-quality zip mechanism has been selected for its smooth operation and durability during thousands of open-close cycles—exactly what you need if you're regularly transporting your transmitter between your home, local RC club, track events, or competition venues. Reinforced seams throughout the case ensure structural integrity even under heavy use, whilst adjustable internal dividers allow you to organise your transmitter and accessories exactly as you prefer, preventing movement and potential damage during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this large soft case suitable for all Futaba transmitter models? — The large size with dimensions of 235 × 175 × 340mm is designed to accommodate most larger Futaba transmitter models. However, we recommend checking your specific transmitter dimensions against the case dimensions to ensure a proper fit. If you're unsure whether your particular Futaba model will fit, contact our expert team at RC Model Shop and we'll be happy to confirm compatibility before you purchase.
• What's the difference between a soft case and a hard case for transmitters? — Soft cases like this one offer lightweight, convenient protection that's perfect for frequent transport and storage, with the foam-backed lining providing cushioning against impacts. Hard cases offer more rigid protection against crushing forces but are heavier and bulkier. For most RC hobbyists transporting their transmitter regularly between home and the track, a soft case like this offers the ideal balance of protection, portability and value.
• Will this case protect my transmitter from water damage? — Yes, the case features splash-proof protection thanks to the quality synthetic fabrics and high-quality zip mechanism, which together create an effective barrier against rain and moisture. This makes it ideal for outdoor RC events and British weather conditions. However, this is splash-proof rather than fully waterproof—it's designed to protect against incidental moisture rather than full submersion.
• Can I store accessories and spare parts in this case? — Absolutely. The front pocket and adjustable internal dividers allow you to organise your transmitter alongside accessories such as spare crystals, aerials, chargers, batteries and technical spares. This keeps everything you need for a day of RC racing or bashing in one convenient location.
• How durable is this case for regular use? — This case is specifically designed for the demands of frequent, regular use by competitive racers and serious hobbyists. The durable synthetic fabrics, reinforced seams, high-quality zip and professional-grade construction mean it will provide reliable protection through years of regular transport and storage, making it an excellent long-term investment for your Futaba transmitter.
• Is the Race Team version different from standard Futaba cases? — The Race Team designation indicates this case has been engineered to the professional standards demanded by competitive RC racing and serious hobbyists. It represents Futaba's commitment to providing competition-grade equipment and protection for their most demanding customers across the UK and Europe.
