| Back pack crawler?
So since im done with school I have decided to dedicate this summer to biking 200 miles before im off to college. I had the great idea of bringing a crawler with me because I like to go off road a lot and I always see great crawling spots but I never have a rig with me. So my question to you guys is if you had only a back pack to carry a small rig plus your contoler what rig would it be? Thanks Grunt Last edited by grunt95; 06-02-2014 at 04:49 AM. |

Depends on the backpack. Might be able to fit a losi mini. Or strap a ax10 or scx10 on the outside.

Should be able to fit an scx10 into a decent sized backpack. My jk will fit into mine with the tx. But again, doing a long ride, remember to carry lots of water with you, may be more important than the crawler ;)

Ozark Trail 19L Kalispell Backpack: Outdoor Sports : Walmart.com It wont go in the back pack it will be straped on the outside and I dont think a scx10 will fit. I have a twin hammer right now and its barely fits in that spot. I also dont have to worry about water because I have a 2L water pack in the back pack itself. | |

A scx10 should strap on that with ease. But that is going to be extra weight to include charger batteries field tool kit and remote.

I would fill my back pack with Lipos and hike the 20 of the 200. Otherwise, look into a steel wire storage shelve for your bike and strap an scx to it. Biking with a backpack is "fun" enough. Strapping a 6-10lb truck to the outside sounds terrible.

Spelling was never my cup of tea. Thats why im going to a Tech College to get my machinist Diploma. I think im just going to stick with my twin hammer and build that up to where I want it. Its light, batteries are small for it and hopefully once Im done with it, it wont break as much.. | ||||

I would go for the bicycle cargo rack idea. I would rather have it strapped securely to the bike than to my back. $20-30 can get you a basic rack from amazon. |

I usually run a pack with two snap on strapa that allow me to hang a rig by two wheels. With a little creativity you could secure 4 wheels. I'll try to post a pic when I get home.

Offroad bike trailer? Carry all you need then disconnect if you find a spot you want to take the bike off some sweet jumps

Hard tail or full suspension bike? I don't know that I'd go rear rack with full suspension. Seems like your only option is your TH in the small, light, and scale dept. maybe a CC-01 would fit the bill in a close second place

Hard tail and yeah a Twin hammer seems to be the best bet. With a CC01 I believe the bodies sit to high and I would have to figure out a different place to attach it. | |||

| Something more of a small sporty pack with plenty of tie down options! Hiking seems like a better idea, but this option keeps it secure if you ride offroad. IS IT AUGUST YET??? |

i strap the lcc to my backpack no problem, carry it pretty often when i feel like going out and about. a quick carry bag for me is: the dc charger basic tools enough batteries to outlast me the camera bag a nalgene tripods gloves bag of gates foams maybe shock oil maybe the biggest problem area for me is the transmitter, i have a pistol case cut to fit it, but its doesn't fit in the pack well. i usually have it around my neck with a strap. can pack around all day (or until the batteries are dead) and not be too sore the next day. organization is key, a place where everything goes and interferes with as little else as possible. |

I have a volcom Skateboard backpack that I use all the time. I can fit an MOA, Sport Radio and tools with lipos rather easily. Yet its not to bulky.
