Question Warn Wireless receiver fit in Traxxas box?

I've got a TRX-4 on the way, and figured it would be cool to finally have a rig with a winch. Then I started looking into adding one, and controlling it...

So there's a Warn licensed wireless winch control on RC4WD, but it's not waterproof. And I thought it would be awesome to just mount the winch receiver in another receiver box, or maybe even in the box the TRX-4 has stock. I tried looking at the Traxxas parts website for measurements, but the're not listed.

Can one of you guys who has a TRX-4 let me know if there's room in the receiver box for another module?

Can anyone else who has a Traxxas measure your receiver box inside dimensions?

The Warn winch receiver is listed as:
Length: 1.6in / 40.4mm
Width: 1.2in / 30.2mm
Height: 0.37in / 9.4mm

and the Tower Hobbies website lists a TQi Receiver as:
Length: 1.5in / 38mm
Width: 1.02in / 26mm
Height: 0.43in / 11mm

So I'm mostly just worried about getting the Warn receiver to fit length and width wise.

Thanks!

I buy a small ESC from Ebay (cheap) this works fine and its very small .packed it in a ballon because my stock ESC is also packed in a ballon in the stock reciever box (no room anymore) ha ha. The box is not sealed only water resistant.Traxxas recommend constantly service the rig after every deep water ride.

You can remove the case from the controller and it would probably fit in the stock box afterwards. I personally haven't had the best luck with those winch controllers.
