Technical Performance
The Futaba USB-C Rubber Cap is engineered from resilient rubber material that provides reliable protection against environmental contaminants. The cap is specifically designed to match the USB-C charging port specifications of the T10PX transmitter, ensuring a secure fit that won't slip off during handling or transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this rubber cap compatible with all Futaba RC radios? — No, this cap is specifically designed for the Futaba T10PX 10-channel surface radio transmitter. The T10PX features a USB-C charging port, whereas other Futaba radio models may use different charging connector types. Always check your transmitter model before purchasing to ensure compatibility. If you own a different Futaba radio such as the T6PV, T4GRS or other models, you would need to verify the correct cap for your specific transmitter.
- Why do I need a USB-C port cover for my RC transmitter? — Protecting your USB-C charging port is essential for maintaining the longevity and reliability of your T10PX transmitter. The charging port is a critical component that connects your radio to power, and allowing dust, sand, dirt or moisture to accumulate inside can cause charging failures, corrosion or electrical damage. This is especially important if you use your transmitter at outdoor RC tracks, beaches or in sandy environments common throughout the UK RC scene. A simple rubber cap is an affordable preventative measure that can save you costly repair bills down the line.
- Will this cap stay on during transport? — Yes, the rubber cap is designed to fit snugly over the USB-C port and remains securely in place during normal handling and transport. The tight fit ensures it won't accidentally slip off while moving your transmitter between your car and the track, or while storing it in your RC bag or transmitter case.
- Can I charge my transmitter with this cap on? — No, you must remove the cap before connecting your USB-C charging cable to the T10PX transmitter. The cap is designed to be used only when you're not actively charging. Simply remove it, charge your radio, and replace it once charging is complete.
- What is the difference between this USB-C cap and the M-SD cap? — The Futaba T10PX transmitter features two different port types: a USB-C port for charging and an M-SD port for other functions. Each port requires its own protective cap. The USB-C Rubber Cap (FUT1M12T28508) is specifically for the USB-C charging port, whilst the M-SD Rubber Cap (FUT1M12T28507) is designed for the M-SD port. Make sure you purchase the correct cap for the port you wish to protect.
