I've been using a huge rubber maid container, but it's getting to be a pain in the butt lugging it up and down the stairs. My friend uses his hockey bag and I might do that too. All those extra pockets would hold everything I need to bring. So I'm just checking to see what you all use.

When you say "cars" do you actually mean the car its self...?
I've always just thrown them on top of a tool box and carried them.
I do use a huge duffle bag to hold
-chemicals (motor spray,glass cleaner,simple green, Traction Comp. etc...)
-papertowels
-transmitters x 4
-Dremmel
-Solder Iron & holder
-car stands
-hand cleaner
Bla Bla Bla... Dont be too orginized or you will become the go to guy...when some one needs something...
Did I mention the 2 old huge plaino boxes...
1 for tools 1 for...
-Chargers x 3
-10 bottles of oil
-various springs
-every kind of screw you could think of...
-various electric motors
Bla Bla Bla...
after 11 years you need some place to keep all the stuff you'd ever need
If I only had a U-Haul :rolleyes:

I use a tool box that has small boxes that slide into the top of the lid for all my tools, screws, and parts. I have a large duffle bag for cars chargers transmitters and batteries.

Who needs paper towel and hand cleaner? I just use the shirt that I'm wearing. Yeah all I'd bring, if I raced, was a tool box and a duffel bag.

A tool box on wheels for my tools, unless I am driving a pan car. The Pan cars fit in the tool box antenae and all. If I am driving my T-Maxx or my MRC MT-10S I carry them and pull around the Tool box on wheels. Oh, and I haul the driver, me, in a '78 Ford F250 long bed camper edition.
Later,

You may be able to still use the rubber maid type container you are already using; I use one myself, it is about 3 feet wide, and, 1 1/2-2 feet tall, but I just use one of those luggage caddy things, that fold up into nothing, it works great! I used to just carry it in, but it would hurt my back, making the trek from my car to my pit, oh well.

I also had one, that had built in wheels, but, they broke off when I was wheeling it in through our crappily paved parking lot, but, what can you do?

I got a big blue duffel from Wal Mart that the truck fits into nicely, antenna and all. It also has pockets. Cost $20. Tools and parts go in a separate $4 tool box.

I've also been using a huge Rubbermaid container. I throw in a toolbox, charger, extension cord, surge protection, soldering kit, car box, hobby knives, and whole bunch of other stuff. And then I just throw the car on top when I'm done.

I have a big fishing tackle box that has lots of little compartments which is perfect for parts, screws and tools. I carry my car, radio, extra tires, motor spray and stuff like that in my duratrax deluxe field bag.

OK, I ve got a Plano Phantom Pro tackle box that takes car of the tools, oils and lubricants, and parts, another plano box that has the 3 big compartment boxes and 2 smaller ones for motors, batteries, motor stuff and more parts, a Trinity monster car go bag for my power supply charger, radios, extension cord, power strip, soldering iron, and more batteries and motors, and an older Car action car bag (just like the one trinity makes w/ the three boxes) for tires, more parts, and other junk I never use but still bring because you never know. And this only covers the stuff I bring to the track!!!! Rubbermaid totes are used for other junk that I leave at home.

"What do you use to haul all your cars??"

I usually have my pit beeeeotch haul my stuff. His name is Evan. :D lol

let's see, most of my tools, motors, radio, batteries, power supply, chargers, and all kinds of parts fit into my sweet Plano 7592 Toolbox. I keep all my other stuff in a big "Sterilite" plastic box (like a Rubbermaid), like my dremel, tire cleaning station, motor spray, simple green, soldering iron, and all my freaking tires.

"Dont be too orginized or you will become the go to guy...when some one needs something..."

Holy crap, that is so true it's scary! I swear people consider mine the community toolbox!! XXXER can back me up on this one. It's SOOOO true... :rolleyes:

here it goes:

All of my tools, shock oil, after run oil, glow starter, etc. Is kept in a Plano Fishing Box,
It has a quick to reach upper level a huge companrment that opens up, and the base has three trays that slide out.

I place the nitro in the tahoe,

I put my 6 battery packs and buld discharger in a little purple plastic case.

I place my tc3 on a car stand and place it in the tahoe and i place my t-max in the tahoe and turn on the break so it doesnt move during transportation.

Them Rubbermaids are great for moving your RC gear around. And tackle boxes make for nice organization. I also found a huge compartmentelized storage container at a place called "Organized Living", which keeps my most-used parts sorted.

As for hauling, here's what I use:

Cool, I guess I should just keep using the Rubber Maid :) I have a rather large tool box to keep my stuff in, I just use the smaller Plano boxes to organize screws and stuff. My chargers, 3 cars, power bar, controller and fan all go into the Rubber Maid. I can put the toolbox ontop of the RM and push it to the edge of the stairs, then make 2 trips down. If I use a hockey bag, I can lug it all down at once....hmmm, I'll keep reading for more info/ideas.

I have a Huge Plano Tackle Box that I use, it has 4 good sized drawers and a storage area on top. I use 3 drawers for extra parts, one drawer for tools, and the top storage for my Transmitter, Bump Starter, Glow Lighter, fuel bottle, oil rags and more parts.
I "Haul" my pit box and RC's in my 99 Durango or my 90 Toyota 4x4. LOL :D ;)

I built a pit box for all my gear. Sadly my gear has grown but my pitbox hasnt. I even bought a Toyota 4x4 to fit the box in and as it has tinted windows its soooooo nice to work in.

I have 4 dolly's loaded down with 50+ lbs. of stuff each, taken to the track with a Chevy Suburban with the third seat removed. Then I carry in my 230 Watt Awia stereo and pound it untill the heat's start playing Limp Bizkit over and over and over and over.

Now that's a load of B.S. if you've ever heard it!
