Spektrum is a recognised leader in RC radio systems and accessories, and this case reflects their commitment to quality and functionality.
This isn't just any generic carrying case — it's purpose-designed for Spektrum surface transmitters and features a deep interior that accommodates all Spektrum surface transmitter models with room to spare. The combination of a rugged aluminium exterior with protective finish and a high-density foam interior creates a robust protective environment that absorbs impact and prevents your expensive radio equipment from shifting or sustaining damage during transport or storage. The case arrives ready to use with all the protective features you need built in.
For RC enthusiasts across the UK looking for a reliable transmitter case that combines durability with practicality, the Spektrum Aluminium Surface Transmitter Case represents a genuine investment in protecting your hobby equipment. The thoughtful design includes everything from comfortable grip handles for easy carrying to protective plastic feet and table pads that keep your case stable and prevent scratching when placed on any surface.
Key Features
- Tough Aluminium Exterior with Protective Finish — The case is constructed from high-quality aluminium that provides exceptional durability and impact resistance, ensuring your transmitter stays protected from knocks and drops. The protective finish prevents corrosion and wear, maintaining the case's appearance and structural integrity over years of use and transport to RC tracks and events across the UK.
- Durable Lockable Latches — Heavy-duty lockable latches secure the case shut during transport, preventing accidental opening and ensuring your expensive Spektrum transmitter cannot be lost or damaged. This feature is essential when travelling to RC racing events or storing your equipment long-term.
- High-Density Foam Interior — The interior is lined with high-density foam that safely cradles your transmitter and protects it from impact damage. The foam material absorbs shock effectively and prevents your radio equipment from moving around inside the case, which is particularly important during transport in vehicles or aircraft.
- Storage Compartments for Accessories — Dedicated compartments within the case provide organised storage for transmitter batteries, charging cables, antenna extensions, and other essential accessories, keeping everything together in one convenient location. This means you'll never leave crucial items behind when heading to the track.
- Protective Plastic Feet and Table Pads — The case is equipped with protective plastic feet and table pads on the bottom and potentially the top surfaces, which prevent scratching and marking of furniture and work surfaces when the case is placed down. These pads also protect the case itself from damage and provide stability when positioned on any surface.
- Comfortable Grip Handle — A well-designed grip handle makes carrying this case effortless, whether you're moving it around your workshop, transporting it to your car, or carrying it to RC events. The handle is ergonomically positioned for comfortable one-handed or two-handed carrying options.
- Deeper Case Design — Unlike standard transmitter cases, this model features increased depth that accommodates all Spektrum surface transmitter models without crowding or forcing components. The generous interior space ensures your transmitter sits securely without pressure, and there's room for foam customisation if desired.
Technical Performance
The SPM Spektrum Aluminium Surface Transmitter Case P-SPM6713 is engineered with meticulous attention to protection and durability. The aluminium construction provides superior impact resistance compared to plastic alternatives commonly found in basic RC cases, whilst remaining lightweight enough for practical daily use. The high-density foam interior absorbs shock effectively and distributes pressure evenly across your transmitter's surface, preventing damage to sensitive components such as antenna connectors, buttons, and display screens. The lockable latches employ robust mechanisms that withstand repeated opening and closing through hundreds of uses without degradation. The overall construction reflects professional standards found in industrial and military-grade equipment cases, making this an appropriate choice for serious RC competitors and collectors who understand the value of proper equipment protection. The case's dimensions of 13.25 inches length, 9.5 inches width, and 6.25 inches height provide spacious accommodation for all current Spektrum surface transmitter models, including larger units with extended antennas. The protective plastic feet and table pads are precisely designed to protect both the case and the surfaces it rests upon, preventing cosmetic damage and extending the life of your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Spektrum transmitters will fit in this aluminium surface transmitter case? — This case is specifically designed to accommodate all Spektrum surface transmitter models. The deep interior provides generous space for standard and larger Spektrum surface radio units, making it a universal solution for Spektrum surface transmitter owners. The high-density foam interior can be customised if needed to fit your specific transmitter perfectly.
- What makes this case better than a foam case for protecting my transmitter? — Whilst foam cases offer basic protection, this aluminium case provides superior durability and impact resistance. The aluminium exterior can withstand significant drops, crushing forces, and rough handling that would damage a foam-only case. The combination of aluminium and high-density foam interior provides layered protection that keeps your expensive Spektrum radio system safe during transport and storage.
- Is this case suitable for air travel with my transmitter? — Yes, the robust construction and secure lockable latches make this case appropriate for air travel. The case provides the protection standards often required by airlines for valuable electronics. However, always check your specific airline's rules regarding transmitter cases and lithium batteries before travelling internationally with your RC equipment.
- How do the protective plastic feet help my case? — The plastic feet serve a dual purpose: they protect the aluminium case bottom from scratches and damage when placed on hard surfaces, and they prevent the case from scratching or marking furniture, workbenches, and vehicles. This keeps both your case and your surroundings in perfect condition, which is particularly important if you store your case in a shared workspace or transport it in a vehicle.
- Can I store multiple transmitters in this case? — The deep interior provides substantial storage space, and the high-density foam could potentially be customised to accommodate multiple smaller transmitters or one transmitter with extensive accessories. For optimal protection, we recommend storing your primary transmitter with accessories rather than multiple transmitters, as this ensures maximum cushioning and prevents components from touching.
- What is the difference between this aluminium case and the SPM6719 foam case? — The P-SPM6713 aluminium case provides superior durability, impact resistance, and professional-grade protection compared to foam-only cases like the SPM6719. The aluminium exterior is more robust against crushing forces, punctures, and rough handling. If you frequently transport your transmitter or require maximum protection for a high-value radio system, the aluminium case is the superior choice. Foam cases are lighter and more affordable, making them suitable for occasional use or stationary storage.
- Are the latches truly secure for transport? — The durable, lockable latches employ robust mechanisms designed to keep the case securely closed during transport, preventing accidental opening in vehicles, aircraft, or during handling. The latches have been engineered to withstand repeated use without weakening, ensuring reliable protection throughout the life of the case.
