Protect your investment and restore your detector's structural integrity with the genuine XP ICON and ICONX Remote Control Bottom Kit. If the lower housing of your remote has suffered a severe drop, deep gouges, or structural damage, this OEM replacement kit ensures your gear stays completely sealed and ready for the elements.
Why Choose the Genuine XP Bottom Kit?
Your remote control is the brain of your metal detector, and keeping it safe from water, dust, and debris is critical. Manufactured in France by XP Metal Detectors, this bottom housing kit is the exact factory-original part used to build the ICON and ICONX remotes.
At Serious Detecting, we know that heavy field use can take a toll on your equipment. Instead of replacing an entire remote control due to a cracked bottom shell, this replacement kit offers a highly cost-effective repair solution. It provides the perfect fit required to maintain the strict IP68 waterproof rating, ensuring you can confidently take your machine back into the surf and rain.
