I use an older version of this:


I put all my spares and some tools organized i nthe 3 lower big trays, and the nI have 3 smaller trays taht fit in a portion of the top taht have all my screws, nuts, washers, spacers, etc. Tools, charger or radio, and misc supplies go in the top as well. It keeps everything organized and sits right next to my bench in the shop so I dont have to pack and unpack everything all the time.

I have that one for small parts and a larder one for tools. I can carry both of them and 3 trucks in a garden wagon I picked up at Home Depot with my radios squeezed in on top.

I use the Plano 737 also. It's great. With some strategic placement, you can fit a charger, field battery, and possibly a radio in the top compartment. I had it done that way for a little while, but now the top just houses all sorts of random tools that won't fit in the drawers.

Found this at Home depot.
The radio fits in a strap on the back and the crawler get a bungee cord around both axles on one side to the shoulder strap rings and it hangs off the back.
It has worked very well.

I've seen some ppl use skate board backpacks. Didnt know if anyone has seen that before. It would be hard to get all your stuff organized. It is cool to have your crawler straped to the backpack though.

I'm in the military, so I wanted to mimic our foam cut-out toolboxes. I made a collection of tools that I thought were necessary, then found a plastic box about the size of a briefcase. It was an old aircraft system modification parts box. I found some foam around the shop and cut it to fit, then layed all of my essential tools out in an orderly fashion in the box. I cut everything out with a box cutter.

Now, when I go to the track, I just have to make sure all of the holes are filled and take off. It keeps my small parts box from opening up and spilling parts, too. It's just a field kit. I have another toolbox for benchwork.

I use the same thing, originally for a nitro Revo and Jato along with a few parts for a mini baja.

There's room for a controller in the top and a motor with a couple of exhaust pipes. I no longer have any nitro vehicles so I'm going to modify that section to hold a charger. Would I be able to power a charger with lipo? There are a bunch of places I could tuck 5000mah packs in series.

The trays have all kinds of space for tools and parts. Each tray has a compartment big enough to hold an axial axle with various parts. I've got a full 1/4 socket and ratchet set along with various small pliers, cutters, and drivers. I need to get a nut driver set and a few other tools. I just carry the truck by the axles.

This is my Losi micro crawler tray.

For trails, I just take a hiking day pack and a few of those fishing lure boxes in it. Keeps my drinks, tools and camera just fine. On longer events, I'll take my 3 day bugout bag. I can carry all my stuff as well as my truck in it. 6200 ci of space works great. Looks something like this....

This is the box/bag I just picked up as a gift from my wife. I'll get some actual picks of my setup up soon.

CLICK HERE

It's working out great. It has three plastic tackle boxes inside as well as a large compartment where I store my converted CPU power supply and IMAX charger. I have a 1" thick piece of foam on top of them and put my 4PK on top of that. On the back there is a LARGE mesh pocket that I keep my gate markers in. There is a small mesh pocket on the side that I store my LiPo's in so they can breathe and don't get damaged. The mesh on both of these pockets are rubber coated too. I keep my tool kit in the large pocket on the front of the bag. The tall and slim pocket on the other side of the bag is where I keep a few rags and misc. stuff. The plastic boxes inside the bag are where I keep screws, springs, soldering equipment, zip ties, heat shrink, wheel weights...etc. etc. etc.
