Hauler Bag - Recommendations?
Fed up with carting loads of boxes around, time to get me a hauler bag thingy. Have no real knowledge of whats out there so am welcome to suggestions from the oOple community. Whats good out there? Would prefer an 8th scale one for more room for all my kit/garbage. Quite like the look of the Team Magic F8 but not sure what build quality (zips etc) is like.

Well im currently using the blue fastrax hauler bag and holds both my 4wd and 2wd (one upside down) and quite a few wheels and spares in the top tray. Then a shed load of spares and wheels in the second tray, transmitter, manuals and soldering iron in the bottom left and in the bottom right my power supply, charger, iron stand, esc box and screw box and a few more boxes of spares in the five zip pockets on the outside. Its the cheapest but does the job well.

im using the new venom 1/8 hauler.its £30 cheaper on average than the team magic f8 hauler,making it about £90-£100 and its made at the same factory.my only complaint is the colour scheme.the silver and green does show dirty marks easily.
otherwise great hauler for the money. |

My buddy and I use this. Big enough to accomodate 2 x 1/8.

Over priced and not worth it, as they've all seen a price hike beyond there value for money. Personally I was lucky to get an F10 a few years ago at a reasonable price, otherwise id just be using plastic storeage boxes and suitcases on wheels - which I do use for stuff at home anyway.

i have a couple of Xray haulers with the plastic boxes instead of the cardboard used by others. It won;t fit a car in, but stores everything else and are dead easy to lift around.
http://demonpowerproducts.co.uk/prod...oducts_id=3783 Just checked and the price seems to have gone up, i only paid £40. Must admit at £60 i wouldn't bother like Chris, but they are good bags. The F8's are ok, but once loaded to the max with all the stuff they are an absolute pig to shift, and the extendy handles seem a little weak after a while from what i have seen.

I have the F8 best buy I have ever purchased all my gear in one place the tool section at the top is ace. Make sure it fits in your boot before you buy one as it just fit in my last car taking the parcel shelf out, I now have a family bus so no problem.

But where to buy?
Guys, reading this I'm convinced - but where do I find the 1/8th one. Everywhere I look seems to show no stock. Any clues appreciated, thanks.

Be sure to check Ansmann.
They have the same bag as the TM F8 but it costs about 2/3. |

I think an F8 or derivative is the bollox, but they are expensive. I've got an F8 and an F10 (plus other boxes of tyres etc ) but the F8 is one of the best things I ever bought (it was 1/2 price when I bought it )

I must agree that the F8 is awesome, it suits me well as i live in apartment complex so I ideally need to move all my gear easily in 1 go. It does get heavy though so I try to only bring what I will need rather than everything I have.
