Being myself a happy owner of the Taranis X9D+, I was looking for ways to easily modify it so that it stands out from all the other transmitters.
"Everyone" has one -or should have one- and that is a good thing. The FrSky Taranis X9D Plus is an awesome transmitter for the price, with endless capabilities and fairly good build quality overall.
It looks very nice also but.. why not make it far more better looking and most importantly.. UNIQUE?
Just think of a theme, make smart choices and combinations of the various components, a few easy DIY modifications and you are set!

As for my upcoming mods, here are my thoughts.. I would love to hear your opinion!
Hydro-dipped shell: https://goo.gl/unYc8a
The black and white one "type C" looks very nice and I think it will fit the overall theme perfectly - what do you think? Let me know!
Larger gimbal sticks (10mm diameter): https://goo.gl/Va0Wah
or https://goo.gl/tfNq3g
There are some very nice designs of sticks but very few in orange color. I like this set from Hawk Creations a lot - do you like it as well? Help me decide
Hall-effect gimbals: https://goo.gl/ANxqA1
This looks to be a very good upgrade to the Taranis X9D+ and comes at a good price. So far feedback is positive and everyone seems to be waiting for them to come back in stock - should I go for it? Some swear by good quality pots but these hall-effect gimbals should certainly be an improvement, compared to the stock gimbals of the Taranis X9D. What is your opinion?
