| How Do You Transport Your Rigs?
What do you all use to transport your rigs when you take them somewhere in your car/truck? I'm using a just right sized Amazon shipping box for right now. I've seen these $200+ purpose built duffels and backpacks but I'm not about to go that route. I'm thinking of sizing up the largest rig I have once I my Cross AT6 gets in and getting a tupperware box for it. I'd like to know if any of you have any great alternatives! Thanks! -T |

Probably different for guys with muddy/ wet rigs and nice clean vehicles for transport but I just throw mine in the back of the jeep... usually wedged against a wheel well or something to keep em from rolling around. I do like the storage tub alternative though for throwing in the transmitter or whatever other things that might reduce the trips back and forth at the end of a long day.

I just throw them in the trunk if I'm going out crawling, if its gonna be muddy I throw down an old towel first. I made some basic wooden boxes for when I'm traveling that way I can pile stuff on top of it.

Depends how many you want to transport at once and what size they are. The black and yellow crates from HD get used for things like that for me - especially if we're getting muddy... they're available in different sizes and the bigger ones will take something a bit larger too... largest thing I have right now is a Yeti XL and it doesn't quite fit in the 27gal size, but all the 1/10 scales go in great. The lid can also act as a staging area in your trunk for shoes/other muddy stuff too. When you get back home, just hose them out and you're good to go again. |

Pet carrier cage. Has a lot of vent holes to let out moisture, but still contains dirt. Many options to drill holes and modify for all kinds of tie down straps. Looks inconspicuous from a distance unless someone thinks you put your pet into a hot unventilated car and left it there. I have heard of airplane flyers making sandbags out of old jeans to wrap them around model wheels like wheel chocks to keep them from rolling. On short drives I have put my rig into a trash bag with drawstring so it contains dirt and slides easily into a backpack, but trasbags do not let out moisture.

just throw them into the truck. I've got a 2x4 across the back of the bed that leaves about 15" of space at the back of the bed, so I can just put the front wheels over that and everything stays put at the back of the bed.
