Every tool you would need to do any work on the crawler you have. And extra parts to do most repairs you would have to do in the field. I dont carry a battery charger to the rocks. I charge all my lipo's the night before, but if I am slack and have one more to charge in the morning I have a power inverter in the car I hook the charger up to and charge the battery on the way to the rocks. Then put all that in a large backpack and off to the rocks. Kinda vaige or however its spelled but the point is, to each his own.

| round here its "if you can't duct it...fawk it...its broke" whats in mine...same crap the rest have, plus gloves (cold around here) wiskey...not much room for beer in mine..but a flask fits nicely.. pretty much work out of my trail box..so if I can fix it on the bench..I can fix it in the field. In the summer I carry my generator--for campin purpose's--and then I carry a soldering gun as well. You never can tell.. |

I carry just about EVERYTHING, and something I haven't seen mentioned yet is shrink tubing. Gotta have shrink tubing for in-the-field wire repairs. That, and every possible screw, nut and bolt on the truck. Comp before last one competitor's switch went bad on the third course. Cut the switch off, strip and twist the wires, a quick shrink wrap and away he went to finish. |

I just bash so I bring spare batteries and minimal tools-allen wrenches, screwdriver and wheel wrench. It all fits in my pocket nicely.

You guys and your Beer! A flask in the back pocket is so much more conducive to saving space...and you don't have to worry about keeping the beer cold. I bring enough stuff with me to do most any light repairs that might be necessary, short of needing a soldering iron or power tools. Don't forget extra batteries for the Transmitter. A little first aid kit for the RC tool-box is a good idea; a bigger first aid kit, left in the 1:1 car, is a really good idea. Last edited by JeepinOR; 12-15-2009 at 09:18 AM. |
