Hi,
I received one of the transceivers today and hav been working on installing it in my truck.
I found that it fits fine without any servos or power connectors installed, pluging in the electronics made all the difference there iwas no way to jam it in there.
first I thought about soldering the wires directly to the transceiver, but I was afraid it still may not fit and or cause too much strain on the wires.
This is what I decided to do after trying to heat the plastic and push it out to make a bit more room it did not work well either.
What I have ended up doing so far is cutting out a section of the radio cover (I will add a pic) I am looking for ideas of what to use to cover this area, I plan on using something plastic and epoxying it on.
Does anyone have any ideas? does anyone know of any after market radio covers that are a bit taller?
You will se in the second pic there is another problem, the antenna cable will not fit, I will just drill out an area from the side for this to fit in.
When I do the second one I will not cut off so much of the top I just couldn't see what was where inside and I started in the wrong place. I will document and take some photo on the next one when I know more what I am doing.
