i have the xray bag. 4 corrugated plastic drawers, not the weak cardboard ones that fall apart. it's a really handy little size. Stores tools, wheels, tyres, spares etc.

about £40, so must cheaper then team magic ones.

Just looked around a little more and found the losi one i like is 79 pound which is ok but again thats huge! but ive also found a smaller team magic one at 50 pound which seems good and it has wheels so less carrying :p

Thanks for all the help.

The Infinity do a basic hauler bag with 3 boxes in which is very reasonably priced, then Team Integy also do a similar bag but with 4 smaller boxes in it. Ive had both, both lasted around 2 years as the card can only be bent so many times before it falls apart :lol: then when the duck tape gives up too, time for a new one.

How about a wheelie box from B&Q, I have one and it is excellent. A lot of the racers in the USA have them, not as common here, I know a few have them such as Cree. They are just a big plastic box which is extremely well made and has wheels. The one I am talking about might be too big, but its worth a look (will have mine at Kiddy with me). But ofcause there are always smaller versions - not sure if they will have wheels etc. i think its a better option than buying a branded bag as you'll pay a premium for that, rather than for quality... (don't get me wrong, the TM bags are ace)

Rich lowe has got some jconcepts ones now. They dont have wheels but they are small enough so that you wouldnt need to have wheels because it would be light enough to carry. They about 3/4 as tall as the TM 1/10 hauler and a little be shorter me thinks. Best person to ask is rich though lol:lol:

Think outside the Model Shops try your local Fishing Tackle shops they often have smaller wheeled tackle bags. Adams large bag came from a fishing shop and we get everthing in [ although a bit heavy at times ]

You guys and buying your high-dollar hauler bags. :woot:

I just buy the rolling Samsonite luggage pieces (the ones with the extendable handles), and then re-work them to fit my needs with partitions and what-not -- at about half the price and come in a multitude of sizes (and the zipper don't break, and the sides don't ripe either). :thumbsup:

I use them for all my RC-related travels, including flying to and from events, and they work at least as well as those over-priced laundry bags some of you must have been hypnotized into paying for. :p;)

Ash, I'm using one of those at the mo' and theres plenty of room for loads of stuff in them, plus it keps your tool neat and tidy too.
Got mine off flea-bay for about £35.

Ash, your gonna be lucky to find one, TM have discontinued that model. They are bringing out the "F10" now, its basically the same but with the same colour scheme as the 8th one, and about £35 more :thumbdown: I got mine months ago and struggled to find one.

Ash, have you looked at the Sportwerks, Fastrax and Trinity versions, there are some great examples in the ranges and a lot cheaper than the F10/F8 as well.

Take a look at our site, type in "Haurler bag" in the search and then select "Hauler Bags and Carry Cases" from the product category drop down list.

Take a close look FAST680M from Fastrax, SWK9904 from Sportwerks and XTRI70002 from Trinity all of which are great value at the moment, plus dont forget the new Losi one, it is similair to the Magic F10 in size, has an extendable handle and wheels etc but is £10 cheaper

Hope that helps

i took my b4 to my lhs to try for fitment

if you take the top drawer out it fits perfectly,carrys all my gear and even has i allen wrench holder on top

i also bought the transmitter carrying case for 18 pounds which fits on the side via a strap and velcro

this is apparently made for 1/10th touring but fits a buggy perfectly has wheel,handles and added a long strap of nike gym bag for carrying

10/10 in my opinion
