Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I ordered a MERV (1/16 Revo). I already have a Mini Crawler as well as a Micro Crawler. I want to get a nice carry back to use for when I travel, which I do a good bit for work. I would like something I could use to carry my MERV or my Mini Crawler, depending on where I am headed. Of course I want to be able to put my charger, radio and other accessories as well. I was looking at the bags on THETOYZ website as well as Wingtotes and such. Just wondering if anyone has used one that works well or even ones that I should avoid.

Thanks for the opinions!!!

Go to a cheap luggage place and look for a nice size duffle bag that will fit your rc perfectly. Take cardboard box (I use my scx10 because it fit my big duffle perfectly) and fiberglass it with epoxy to keep it in shape and waterproof. Nice and cheap and save your money for more rc parts.

Duffle bag- $0, I got it from brother
Cardboard box- $0, comes with scx10
Fiberglass kit- about $10, from pepboys

I got a cheap $12 duffel from wal mart and used some cardboard and tape and every one thinks it is a big time hauler bag... (I'll Never tell)

I was at the hockey store yesterday where they sell all the goods for ice skates they have back packs that will hold two crawlers radio and more for roughly $60.00 i will be picking one up soon its the perfect thing for when you have to hike out to the crawl spots .

I got one of the Wingtote bags designed for the Tamiya tanks, there on sale for $35 with free shipping still I believe (snatched mine off ebay for $25 free shipping). It's huge very strong and well worth the money. Holds my 2.2 crawler, a big box of parts, radio in one end and my charger and a bottle of simple green in the other.

I use a large back pack for the crawler and a toolbox for everything else.

bivens22 · 02-11-2010, 04:03 PM

I use the Wingtote Tank Bag. The bag is super strong and holds 2 2.2 crawlers, M11 radio, and my charger. I can't say enough good things about this bag. They are well worth the money.

I have several duffel bags hanging around here that I never use so I measured the inside of one of those, went to Walmart's storage bin section and found a plastic bin that would fit, and then cut the sides down to the correct height. The bin cost four bucks and change.

I have a total of four of them, two large and two small. I think I'm going to convert the other large one to a crawler tote too. It works great with the opening the way it is.

I use a bag that my sawzall,drill,flashlight and circular say came in.It works great because it has cardboard dividers that are held in with velcro and are adjustable

I use the same bag. I carry my DX3r, LCC, MRC and micro with all the batteries, charger and a ton of spares and tools for each.

fa1rch1ld · 02-17-2010, 01:12 PM

It fits all my tools. charger/controller. and it fits my car snuggly in the bag..Its
a perfect size...Not bulky and big.

I've seen the Wingtote Tank Bag a couple of times now. INDIANA MUDCAT is right, it's a great bag. I'm picking mine up on Friday.

It's was made for tanks, but it's perfect for Crawlers!

woodnrock · 02-18-2010, 10:02 AM

Just follow the little miss to the fabric/craft store and check out the clerance area ,I got a rolling craft tote for like $10 and it hauls a ton of stuff.

riz · 02-18-2010, 11:16 AM

I'm thinking of getting another motocross gear bag...... it should hold the truck(s) in the main compartment and the side pockets for boots and helmet will hold the radios and all the other stuff.

YardFab · 02-18-2010, 12:11 PM

I use my Ruck Sack. I know its good for 65lbs of crap, I'm sure it'll hold my Axial and parts.

kasper · 02-18-2010, 12:23 PM

I currently use a moose rack pack for quads i just purchased a hockey back pack it will hold two crawlers perfect size they sit flat and you can stack three in the bag if needed has a spot on each side where the skates would go and the radio fits perfect and the good thing is we have to walk a spell to get to the crawl spot strap it on your back and go will get some pics tonight if i have time and post them here.

mrdrinksalil · 02-18-2010, 12:31 PM

I got one of the wingtote tank bags a few weeks ago for like $35 to my door. Hands down the BEST $35 I've spent towards crawling. Great quality bag and holds my 2.2 and 1.9, room for two radios on the side pockets and room for the tray organizers I get from Home Depot. Get the wingtote and dont look back.
