Good Container to Haul R/C Stuff In? - 06-14-2006, 05:17 PM

I already have a Plano tackle box that I keep my tools and other stuff in, but I am looking for something a little bigger to carry around spare parts, tires, radio, oil, etc. .

I don not want to spend $100-150 on a Hauler bag. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to buy/where to buy it? I already looked at Menards, Home Depot, and Sears.

The wingtote bag is $50 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXJXE7&P=ML


If it doesn't have enough room for all your stuff, I don't know what will.

I can get you a tm 1/8 hauler bag for 130 brand new. It will hold everything. Got 4 slide out draws, and a big draw for a buggy, a pouch for a setup board, clip on for attaching a starter box with there starter box bags, tools, heck it holds everything.

i used to have a black and decker Firestorm box. It was a 2 piece tool box. A normal tool box on top and a larger chest tool box on the bottom, had a collapseable handle and wheels. I got it at Lowes it was about $60 I think.

Only problem is that it is so big, I don't have anywhere to put that because it won't fit in my room.

UE maxx go to sports authority and get a hockey bag. They are huge with plenty of room for everything and a lot of them have wheels. The only thing you have to do is put a piece of wood in the bottom to make it strong.

When we went to Stl. I fit my Ofna 9.5, Ofna 1/8th starter box, Losi xxx-nt, Dynamite 1/10th starterbox, 2 radios, and asorted tools.


Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

The thing with bags its hard to keep things organized IMHO. If you are looking just for easy toting then a bag will work. But if you want a tote and organization get a wheeled tool box or a hauler bag.
