I've recently bought the ofna bag and have no idea why I waited so long to get a hauler like this, makes it so much easier to prep, carry and organize all my equipment. About a month in with it and am very happy. Construction looks good but we'll see how it holds up a year from now.

Hey guys I have been through the pit bag shuffle in the past couple of years.. I travel quiet alot so a good quallity hauler\locker is very inportant for me.. I have been though quite a few of these.. First stay away from the Jconcepts bags with the three plastic boxes after two plane rides seems busted boxes turned to mush email Jconcepts to buy replacement boxes they said NO... Next the protect,trinty,teammagic all the same bag first or secant trip came down bagage shout the tee handle broke right off even had one tee handle break off pulling it in wcrc on the door jam they just cant take the weight or abuse and you can not replace them they are permently riveted in the bag and you can't get parts.. so then I tried the pelican hard casses awsome, water, proof, tough, lockable not bad besides the weight they are hevy without stuuf inside could never get under 50lbs bam hit with a 100.00 baggage fee... there also is no dividers so you need to pack things in boxes.. Price was about 280.00 for a good size one so a little pricy also.. Then I pulled the trigger on the Hudy hauler bag this is the only bag I will know own super high quality six wheels awsome even in gravel.. Handle is a tiwn beam style super strong dose not stick out when colasped duradle as hell. The tool compartment is really thin to not wast space inside organizer come out easay to put on bench if wanted. boxes are the best built out of the toughest plastic I have seen the box shellves are felt lined so the boxes side super easay like there on ball bearings. two side pockets that can hold pit board, manuals, Ect huge..... Best part the parts are all avalible sepratly for anything that fails.. The bag is also very light wieght compared to the pelican no more 100.00 baggage fees...Zippers are big and super tough its got hard sides that protect stuff unlike the Ogio bags that are soft... It is pricy though about 320.00 pull the trigger if you can it will be the last hauler you will ever own IMO.......somebody really thought this bag out
is sold out and on back order.

Hi All,
I know this thread is pretty old, but I'm hoping to revive it briefly for some guidance on choosing the right bag for a Traxxas E-Revo. This truck is gigantic! I want a hauler-type bag that has the wheels, but none of the larger models I've been looking at seem to be big enough to hold the Revo - I'm measuring the space required to be about 16.5" wide and 24" long. So far the only bag that'd hold the truck without removing the wheels seems to be that Ogio model. Anyone know of another one that'd fit this truck?

Not as cool as the Hudy bag, but also not that expensive either. The bag above is fairly big, could be hard to transport in a car trunk if the car is small or has a small trunk.

I am also looking for one. I need it to hold 2 off road 1/10 scale stadium trucks and a bunch of stuff we feel we need at the track. The one mentioned above is not available. Any ideas?

you can usually get an ogio at about $160 or less if you aren't choosy about which style it is and pick up a new but dicontinued design from ebay

I also have the Proline bag. Quality wise the Proline bag is just a good.
However the Protek bag has more tool storage and is a little larger. I would buy the Protek bag again over the Proline bag for that reason. I would also recommend the Protek bag.

After getting the Protek bag, I would definitely get that bag again! Good price, and great quality. If you have any problems with it A Main makes it right!

I've read that it is not big enough for a short course truck. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know of a hauler bag that is IN STOCK that fits SC's?

The Protek bag looks exactly like my Trinity T8, and I have tons of issues with sticking drawers and the zippers either sticking or breaking. Are there improvements made to it, or is it just the same thing rebranded?

The Hudy bag looks like it'd work for me...but I can't find anywhere within the US that actually stocks the thing. The Duratrax bag also looks like it'd work, but it looks really cumbersome and 'boxy' - dunno if that'd even fit in my car's trunk. I think the Ogio or other bag of a similar style might end up being the only viable option. The Protek is just a bit too small to hold the E-Revo too. I am surprised that Traxxas didn't come out with a case specifically for that truck given it's popularity...ah well. Thanks for all of the input everyone.

I didn't know the ProTek comes with a strap on top - that would certainly work. Thanks for the input!
