Mobile tool boxes
 

How are y'all carrying all your extra parts/hardware and batteries with you if you go anywhere? Wanting to set-up a little tool box with bins and bigger compartment so when I take my 1:1 crawler on long trips and I can bring my new bomber with me and fix it

i carry a plano tackle box with my spare parts/tools in it, that gets left in the truck. all i take on the trail is drivers and a spare battery.

I also carry a plano tackle box in my car for larger repairs. For the trail I carry a backpack with tools hardware and spare batteries. This has come in handy helping other crawlers on the trail.

I use an older Craftsman box. It's plastic with 2 small divided parts boxes on the lid and it opens like a tackle box with 2 divided trays and an area under the trays that's big enough to hold my charger and a radio.

I have one of these in my work vehicle and plan on getting for my rc stuff. The top has some good size bins, and the lower section is plenty deep for extra wheels, tours, or other oversized items you may want to take with like a charger.

I have a bigger Plano box with 3 big trays in the middle and 1 smaller on either side. The lid has compartments on either side that open independent of the lid. The upper area under the lid holds my batteries, charger, less commonly used parts & tools. It's also my home box so if I need it at home, I'll have it away from home. I normally carry a couple allen drivers and whatnot in my pocket anyway.

Small Plano box for me as well, servo boxes for keeping screws, pinions and bearings separated and accessible.

I use a Stanley toolbox and just carry the top half with me when I go out. Has a lift out tray in the top and enough room underneath for quite a bit of stuff. I put my small stuff like screws in a jewelry or bead organizer you would get at Walmart and keep that in the bottom of the case.

I use one of these for slotcars. Has served me well. I am currently looking for a mobile home for rc supplies. You might look over Plano Molding | Protect Your Passion , Flambeau Hardware - Contractor Grade Quality at DIY Pricesand Flambeau Outdoors for ideas.

I just had an after thought. A lot of my buddies are using backpacks like the one below for fishing. Might not be a bad thing for rc.

Re: Mobile tool boxes
 

I was thinking of getting one of these as well. I was looking for a good back pack solution for going on long trail runs where you won't be close to the car.

Re: Mobile tool boxes
 

I have a couple Plano 777 that I use for my rc tools and spares.
I keep extra trays for spare parts for each of my rc's and bring whichever trays I need depending on which vehicle I'm running.

I actually use Snap On bag that came with my 18V Cordless impact gun.
It works well. Holds everything I need.

Re: Mobile tool boxes
 

Almost the same... I use a Porter Cable tool bag in my car for batteries, tools, and parts.

I use a CamelBak on the trail for hydration, batteries, and 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 7mm socket, and needle nose.

Re: Mobile tool boxes
 

A regular old backpack.

Common hex sizes, 5.5 and 7 nut drivers, couple pliers, small tackle box of hardware and random parts (probably 8"x5"x3" but has 8 compartments), and spare batteries.

I guess if I was on a longer trip, I would invest in one of those Plano backpacks that hold the bigger tackle boxes.

Re: Mobile tool boxes
 

I use an Ogio backpack that has a lot of provisions for tools. I believe the backpack was designed for motorcycles. It is called the Dakar 1950. It has worked well to pack tools, batteries, spare parts and hydration for longer hikes.

Re: Mobile tool boxes
 

I use a camel back style backpack. Carry a few hand tools, some small tackle box for hardware, another for commonly broken parts, and of course spare batteries. I will say that on long trail runs it tends to get heavy. I'm talking about wearing it for 4-5 hours at a time. I'm slowly thinning out what I carry to lighten it up some.

Plano or Flambeau fishing tackle boxes

Been using a lift-n-lock for several years. Lots of room for tools and parts in the lower drawers, and for radios, charge gear, and even a 12v Milwaukee drill driver up top.
