Polybutler setup

[OneKiwi]

I have a polybutler that I mainly use for 1/8th which I actually don't race nearly enough to really justify one.

I would like to use it fot 10th electric but Im at a bit of a loss to how I shouyld set it up. I mean I have my hand tools in my hauler and charger in there as well. Same with oils and lipos etc.

I have seen them with chargers built in as well very nice

Im thinking about selling the hauler and buying 1 smaller Jconcepts bag that way Im forced to use the PB

How do you guys that race 1/10 have your setup?

Post with pics if you can
Thanks

Mine has drawers.
I open them and put stuff in.
When I want to take things out, I open a drawer, look for the item, shut the drawer (because I choose the wrong drawer), repeat until satisfied that I've left said item in the garage and go begging.

That made me laugh :lol: still smiling

so you use it for 10th scale? is it just the pb and then a smallish carrybag for the cars and spares? Radio in its own over the shoulder sack as well?

My polybutler use's 35wt shock oil for the front,30 for the rear.

+3 camber front and +2 camber rear.

Diff oils are 10k,3k,10k.

Be careful with it around the corners, it's a big polybutler so cornering can be a pain.

Be sure to use super soft AKA tyres!

Mine came pre painted too. Its red!!

Let me know if my setup was helpful.

Thanks.

just to provide some info (still smiling) ...

I use the big drawers on the bottom side to put my tools in them. In the lowest one: the tools that I use most, second one: less urgent tools.
the idea is that it is easier to look into this drawers then if they are on top.
So in the other drawers with little compartments, i put shims, other tools, greases, ...
in the side-drawers: shockoils, electric stuff (wires, motors, connectors, ...) and the rest of the rubbish.
I also always keep a little head-light (led) in on of the drawers , ... to find those b***** little parts that I accidently drop under the tabel, .. where it is dark, ...

I hope the new software PB are releasing around xmas fixes that issue, not sure if I want to get one now that there are all these problems.
I don't want to have to fork out for a fishing tackle box only to find it has the same problems..

But cant the continual repeating of the same action be user error or is that just what happens as you get older and something that has to be lived with?

Your set up sounds fine I might try that, I had problems on one door post as the lid lip is now cracked, I put it into the frame a couple of times, damn sharp 90° coming into the club local. Could be my driving.


Do you use a hauler as well?
Im trying to maybe get the car trips down to one, PB and small proline bag plus the radio over the shoulder

Ive had one for many years and load it with the heaviest stuff on the bottom,TOOLS and work my way up that way.
Use the side draws for oils glues etc. I keep tyres and spares in the others.

I have 1 as per already stated heavy tools in the bottom working my way up fits 4 lipo's and small tools next, charger and leads next, springs pinions and oils small selection o fastners and body clips then elec in the top, side draws have wheels and tyres I then have a Caster fusion 2 car bag that takes 2 cars, handset, soldering equipment, spares and more wheels/tyres

On a serious note...

1 red polybutler: stuff randomly put where it fits.
1 losi rc10t box: tyres, wheels and soldering iron
1 b44 box: power supply, charger, tranny, whatever else.
