Default Hauler Bag

Can anyone recommend a good hauler bag for me (1/10th offroad) and at a good price. Bought a Team Magic one a couple of months ago and it lasted about 1 month - think the workmanship is c**p. Please let me know what are the best ones on the market for the best price.

Associated one is good and big. You can also get the replacement cardboard boxes to go inside if you wreck them

Team magic F8 hauler by far. It has plastic draws that dont tear or break unlike cardboard ones. Their is carry handles and and a pull out handle. It has wheels to move it around by. Pockets for setup boards. It has everything you could want.

What a salesman lol

If you bought it new 1 month ago then take it back to where you got it from.

Mine is well over 3 years old and took 20+ kilos of stuff to Finland via Sweden and back again without so much as a split thread, and I saw the bag being loaded onto one of the planes and they were certainly not being gentle with it. IMHO Team Magic bags are worth every penny.

I have to agree, I've two team magic touring bags. They've travelled lots with me. (Have them a couple of years.) Their last trip was by freight to Japan and back for the off-road worlds.

Something wrong if your bag only lasted a short while.

The F8 bag is nice, but a little on the big side.

I've got one of the 10th scale TM haulers. They are ace. As ben says, it has pockets for everything you could think of, plus the tool tray on the top to keep all your tools nice and tidy and handy to get to, without getting them all over the pit table. Well worth it.

There are 2 TM Haulers Jimsy, the 1/10th TC and the 1/8th.

I have the smaller one, it's the one you had in the boot of your car in Vaasa. It is plenty big enough for my kit and you can buy add on bags for your transmiter and one for a starter box (which is about the right size to fit a charger and power supply in), it has a usefull covered tool pouch along the top which holds all my nut and allen drivers, about 10-12 in all.

The 1/10th bag has sturdy cardboard internal boxes 1 large and 4 smaller ones and costs £50-60 where as the mahoosive 1/8th bag has plastic boxes and a hadny detachable tool tray on top, costs £70-£80

Default Hauler Bag

Cheers For that Craig,

I bought the bag from ebay and at the moment trying to sort something out. Contacted TM but they are trying to do me a so called special price which works out as appromimately £106 for a H.A.R.D version of the same bag. All I will say is that if you buy one of these bags make sure that the seams on the sides line up with the structure of the box - the one I had never did and so put pressure on the zip which caused it to go

If you bought it new 1 month ago then take it back to where you got it from.

Mine is well over 3 years old and took 20+ kilos of stuff to Finland via Sweden and back again without so much as a split thread, and I saw the bag being loaded onto one of the planes and they were certainly not being gentle with it. IMHO Team Magic bags are worth every penny.Quote

I have the large associated one and dont really like it, i can fit everything in it and more but i find it a little inconvinient having just 3 cardboard boxes for the stuff, i think an F10 + polybutler will be for me next.

Anybody know the overall dimensions for the F8 and F10 TM haulers??? I am thinking about getting one but need to know if it will pyshically fit in the space I have available......

If I can get it in the available space I will buy an F8.

If anybody has approximate sizes for the drawer internals that would also be of interest!
