Anyone find a good, reasonably priced aluminum sides case for this radio with drop down wheel ? Been struggleing to find one to work. Needs to be 12"x8" and 6" deep because of the drown down wheel.

lol youll never find one...the only one that will fit is the yokomo one....or one by JobMate....its an alumunum box. it fits with the drop down wheel but its a snug fit....kinda have to force it...but if you work in the foam right you can fit it no problem... but that my opinion...check for yourself.
Tho i donno if its discontinuned or not....

I too have been looking for a case, this what I found so far. Very cheap about the same price for the nylon bag I bought for my helios. :

If I do get the first one, I'm planning the pull out the foam from my nylon since it's already cut out for the helios.

Although it isn't Alum....The speedmind TB 500 fits really well ...You may want to check it out

i got one from rc mart its a tight fit but its better than nothing

my speedmind case is perfect i have a drop down wheel also so u might want to look at it i know www.stormerhobbies.com has them
