Default transmitter bags

I break into a sweat thinking about replacing my esprit 3. At the moment I carry it around in its box, what are the best alternatives that will protect its sticks etc?

Cheers

do the soft bags actually stop the sticks getting knocked? do they coem with some stick muffs (ahem) so you can fit them on?

I don't know about the TM one, But the 3 Racing one doesn't, but again, It seems quite sturdy, and the bag is actually shaped oversize anyway. For £15 it does the job. I s'pose you could make some foam things to pop over the sticks If you were desperate.

Never heard of sticks breaking off, Is the Esprit 3 quite fragile or something?

been using a ko transmitter bag for quite some time now not had any damage to transmitter

some people get some foam and make a cut out of the transmitter and put that it to stop it moving about

The aluminium cases are the business, they protect really well against big impacts. I also use a Lowepro camera rucksack I originally got for photography. It’s really well padded, water proof and has loads of spaces/pockets for extra stuff. It’s discreet too, which is handy if you take your RCs to a park etc.
