Armattan Mongoose VTx and Rx tray

thingiverse

Couldn't find one I liked, designed my own. Designed to hold an old style VTx (TS5823L, etc..) the same way as the SCX frames. Includes a small tray on the bottom to hold a Rx like the FrSky XM, XM+, RXSR, or similar in size (12mm or smaller in width); includes slots for a zip tie to hold the Rx down. There is no provision for antenna tubes. My intent is to use zip ties off the rear arms, and to route the antennas out around the standoffs. There are two version, one with a XT60 cutout, one without. The idea is to be able to pass a XT60 connector through the plate with the battery lead. Print in material of choice, I've used PLA. 40% infill, supports only touching the build plate for the first design, and supports everywhere for the second. Update: Added a V3, which is broken into 2 parts, a top and a bottom. This is to make it simpler to print, not needing full supports, just touching build plate on the bottom part. It will also be simpler to insert and remove the battery lead. I recommend the V3. Update 2: Added an alternate upper V3 VTX holder and plate. This one has fingers that extend out along the VTx antenna. The intent is to hold battery lead wires, and provide some protection from the propellers, if you're going for a top mount battery. It's better than just hoping for the best. The gap between the fingers and the VTx antenna is just enough to squeeze some 14ga wire by, firmly retaining the wire passed through. Either the lead from the quad, or the battery. I suggest the lead from the quad, and then tucking the battery lead through the strap, that should keep the battery lead from the propellers, even in a crash.
