Key Features

• Sealed Design — The receiver box features a complete sealed construction that protects your Traxxas micro receiver from water ingress, mud, dust and other environmental contaminants, ensuring reliable operation in wet and dirty conditions typical of trail crawling and off-road RC adventures.
• Complete Hardware Package — This comprehensive kit includes everything required for proper installation: foam pads that cushion and protect your receiver from vibration and impact damage, silicone seal that creates a waterproof barrier, and quality fasteners including 3x8mm button cap screws (5 pieces) and 2.5x8mm cap screws (2 pieces).
• Wire Cover Included — The integrated wire cover protects the wiring connections running from your receiver, preventing snagging, pinching and water accumulation that could compromise electrical connections or cause short circuits.
• Silicone Grease Provided — Premium silicone grease is included to help maintain the seal integrity, protect metal components from corrosion and ensure smooth operation of any moving parts around the receiver area.
• Traxxas Genuine Part — This is an authorised Traxxas replacement component manufactured to OEM specifications, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility with your TRX-4 crawler or trail truck without any modifications required.
• Professional-Grade Construction — The foam padding absorbs shock and vibration that could otherwise be transmitted directly to delicate receiver electronics, extending the lifespan of your equipment and improving reliability during intense bashing sessions.

Technical Performance

The sealed receiver box represents Traxxas's engineering philosophy of robust, field-tested design. The foam pads are precision-cut to properly cushion and isolate your micro receiver from the mechanical vibrations, shocks and impacts inherent in RC crawling and off-road operation. The inclusion of silicone seal and grease demonstrates attention to detail in moisture management—critical for protecting sensitive electronics from the water crossings, muddy terrain and wet weather conditions that UK RC enthusiasts often encounter. The multiple fasteners (both 3x8mm and 2.5x8mm screws) provide secure mounting while the wire cover prevents accidental damage to the receiver's antenna and servo leads. The sealed construction maintains the integrity of your receiver's housing, which is essential for maintaining reliable radio signal reception and response times that keep your 1/10 scale RC crawler performing at its best.

Always verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
• Why do I need a sealed receiver box for my RC crawler? — A sealed receiver box is essential for protecting your receiver from water damage, mud accumulation and dust ingress during trail crawling and off-road adventures. Since RC crawlers and trail trucks regularly encounter water crossings, splashing and muddy terrain, a sealed receiver box dramatically extends the lifespan of your electronics and prevents costly repairs or replacement of damaged receivers.
• Is this a complete replacement or just the housing? — This is a complete housing solution that includes the receiver box plus all necessary sealing materials (foam pads, silicone seal and grease), wire cover and quality hardware fasteners. You simply transfer your existing micro receiver into this sealed box—the receiver itself is not included as this is designed for existing setups that need upgraded protection.
• What size receiver does this box fit? — This sealed receiver box is specifically designed for Traxxas micro receivers used in the TRX-4 series of 1/10 scale RC crawlers and trail trucks. Check your current receiver type before ordering to ensure compatibility.
• Can I use this sealed receiver box on other RC brands? — This is a Traxxas-specific component designed for Traxxas micro receivers and TRX-4 mounting points. While other RC brands may use similar receivers, we cannot guarantee fit or compatibility. Always verify with Traxxas or your vehicle manual before attempting installation on non-Traxxas vehicles.
• What is the purpose of the silicone grease and foam pads? — The foam pads provide vibration isolation and shock absorption, protecting delicate receiver circuits from the mechanical stresses of off-road operation. The silicone grease helps maintain the seal integrity, protects exposed metal components from corrosion caused by moisture exposure and ensures that all moving parts operate smoothly throughout the lifespan of your RC car.
• Will this improve my RC crawler's water fording ability? — Yes, significantly. The sealed receiver box prevents water from reaching your receiver, allowing you to safely ford rivers, splash through water crossings and operate in wet conditions without fear of electrical short circuits or receiver damage. This opens up a much wider range of terrain and weather conditions for your RC adventures.
