Hi,
It's not really a radio box, more of a radio tray. The space underneath is mostly for wire routing and transponder mounting. Most of us place the rx next to the ESC on top of the tray. Since there's no nitro to foul up the rx it was decided that a covered box wasn't a necessity. I cut mine down a lot (more than halfway) to lower the ESC and rx closer to the chassis. There's only room for wires underneath and my transponder is velcro'd to the mudguard (I swap my transponder between vehicles). As long as your not running in really wet conditions your rx should be fine.
