you are the first who has shown it fully at least among my 20 or 25 rc channel that had done the release day presentation of the radio. I like the covers , but i do not like the pink edition. Far better would be that people buy the right colour instead of creating waste cause with 1 radio the 2nd case is waste, you can only use one. thanks
A nicely done swap. Great tip: to use painters tape to hold items temporary in position until screwed down. Now that you have a Barbie 'styled' Pocket transmitter, you might need build a "Barbie Box" plane to fly with it. ;) RadioMaster seems a bit inconsistent in offering (colour) case options for Pocket, but not for the Zorro radio. Only the Zorro "Special Edition" has colour option; coloured cases are not available as an accessory. Not that I need colour. If I was to ask for one upgrade on the Zorro it would be to use 18650 cells instead of the 18350 cells. [ edit: 18650 typo ]
From the contents of my RUclips feed, I’m getting the impression that everyone who got sent a Pocket had an instruction to make a vid on case swapping 😂😂😂
not really cause from my 20 or 25 rc channel who had done the release day presentation of the pocket radio Andrew has been the first. All the others had shown the case as an option, but andrew was the first to do it. I like these videos that show the real effort to do it.
Thanks for showing this. I was curious about the process and I like the pink Barbie option! I pre-ordered the clear one because, and correct me if I'm wrong, it has a satin or matte finish whereas the color cases (including the charcoal) seem to have glossy finishes. Maybe the clear one is also glossy but just hard to tell from the images...
After putting it all back together with the half broken antenna but forgetting the speaker wire, I am now a master of disassembling the pocket. But for the real the antenna mount broke without so much as a *snap* sound it just gave up like a soft piece of cheese.
I can’t see the point in buying a new radio and then pulling it apart just to change the colour. It seems to me that it’s for people who wants to play with the radio rather than flying Rc aircraft.

Until you drop it onto the rocks. 😁
I did have to change the case and screen on my original X9D+
Looks Great And would make for a great replacement for my Jumper T Lite. 👍

Personally I'd rather it with 18650 cells. 18560 cells seem as hard to source as 18350 cells. 😉
interesting to spray paint the inside, mask off the odd bit to let the light out :)

@@typxxilps I’ve seen about 5 today alone. Whirly bloke , rc reviews, grayson hobby etc.
It was more like "We also have coloured cases, if you would like to do a case swap video"
Thank you

Correct, clear case is textured
@@AndrewNewton Oh cool, thanks for confirming!
O okay the antenna mount just broke like nothing. I don't know why I'm trying to make my radio a different colour this is not worth it.

🥲
It's disturbing to think that the stupid 250g weight limit might soon apply to transmitters as well as aircraft.🤭
Hope they don't start weighing pilots too!

O plástico deste rádio é muito duro, se cair o rádio no chão ele quebra em pedaços igual cristal, sempre é bom ter um reserva.
Good point
Or we just want vibrant colors and this is the only way the company will give them to us :/
wish this thing was 900mhz
elrs 900 mhz is the only solution , i mean on the back of cause.
