RC Bags/Cases (Travelling by Public Transport): What are my options?

[Origineelreclamebord]

Hi everyone,

I thought this would be a nice topic to start at the end of my first season as a racer, as I now know for sure that I'm addicted to the racing

This season I've been using what I had to get me and my gear to the track:

1. My card for public transport (which is my only affordable mode of transport on these long distances)
2. My school backpack (I was surprised to find I can squeeze a car, transmitter, charger, batteries, spare parts, tools - really the most essential stuff to attend a race - in there)!
3. A sport bag (clothes, spare tires, raincoat, sometimes my prototype car, drinks and food)
4. A sleeping bag (in my hands)
5. Camping pad (on top of the sport bag)
6. A tent (also in my hands)

For next season, I'd like things to be different. I can't change my mode of transport for now, so the next best thing is to do something about the rest

For starters, I want less of a load on my back and shoulders. Also, I find the sport bag always has spare space, but frustratingly it's never enough to fit the camping pad or sleeping bag in there.

In other words, I want some kind of rolling suitcase that can carry all the luggage I (until now) carried on my body.

Once I have that, It would be a bonus if I can find a way to get a small table and/or a small chair with me to the events so I'm not constantly dependent on what other people can take with them for me or what's at the track already. Lastly, I'd also like to have some space left to take my DSLR camera with me (as that is my other big hobby).

So to summarize it... What 99% of people carry in a car or a camper, I want to carry with me through trains and buses Has anyone got suggestions how to make that happen?

What about a fast tax 1/8 hauler bag

I saw that one on Youtube (the rebadged ProTek one by the way), it's pretty huge for an RC bag/case. I'm wondering though: How is it to use in daily life/practice? Especially regarding the durability of it, it will really go through a lot in public transport.

I have the 1/10 hauler bag and I fit a spare car in bits, tyres, power supply, charger, controller, tools, manuals and pit towel so a 1/8 should fit more or less everything

And I still have a empty drawer

Motocross type bags are pretty good, they're lighter than the hauler bags but still very sturdy and with big capacity, could be worth looking at.. The Fox or Sparco ones are worth a look..
