I'm in charge of our school's new Automotive Engineering Program. This means I am in charge of six sc10's, six radios, and six of everything else. I need to find six bags, boxes, or other haulers to hold all this stuff without breaking the bank. I'm currently looking at a $50 Husky Mobile Job Box right now. It's out of my price range but I might spring for it. Any other cheaper ideas?

Currently I have all the stuff in the SC10 RTR box, which is a pain to haul from my house to school to the track and so on.

Rubbermaid bins?

I went with something like this a couple years back. Big enough to fit two SC's, radio, dual charger, parts boxes, solder setup and more. https://www.amainhobbies.com/wingtote-pro-roller-deluxe-monster-truck-tote-blue-wgt416/p117469

Thanks for the input. I've tried Rubbermaid containers in the past but they don't seem to hold up. I looked at few RC specific haulers but they all seem poorly built or out of my budget. I might have to spring for the Husky unless some one knows a better box for under $50.

You have any engineering program I am sure that is smart enough to make haulers, be it wood, metal or plastic. That might even save you money if you do it right.

hockey gear bag?

I have 3 of these. They're "Walmart quality" but they still hold well, EXCEPT in freezing temps. They tend to get brittle and crack then.

Are you looking for rollers or just cases, stack-able and use with a hand truck?

Doesn't have to be stack able. For my price range I would assume they wouldn't be. I want rollers since I might have to carry one or two all the way across campus. The students will eventually take these cars home. I just want protection for their controllers, electronics, and other stuff. I plan on making controller cases. They each have a charger and 2-3 batteries. We race at the local track each Monday against 4 other high schools in our district. The students bring their cars to school to work on them at lunch also. With all hauling around I thought wheels would be nice.

With the Husky I imagined making a car tie down setup on top of the lid like my personal setup. Keep the car on top and everything else inside.

I went by walmart and looked at the box. It looks OK but not quite what I want. I noticed they had a Sterilite box with wheels but I'm not sure about the quality. Not as nice as the Husky but more than half the price...

The bag I linked above has rollers and can easily fit two trucks if you take the wheels off. So you'd only need three of them

Hauler bags work great.

I'm not sure if this fits the bill but I have one of these and I love it. Cheap too. Hold tools, spares and all kind if stuff inside.

6 students need to take their truck home to work on, so I need six bags.


Getting pricey. I'd spring for the Husky boxes at this point or take the Stanley below.

This looks nice and it's more in line with what I want to spend. If I have time tomorrow after work I'll try swing by home depot to check it out. Thanks!



For my personal use I have a Commander Wheeled Cargo Box and it was great. Held 200 pounds, real strong, worked as a seat for my wife, wheels and handle made it easy to lug around. Best of all they were $15-20. If anyone knows where to get one since Lowe's discontinued selling them let me know! I've emailed the company but haven't heard back.

I have the Sterilite container and have used it the last 3-4 months. No issues and works great! Currently have 2 slashes, 1 sc5m, and 1 b5m along with charger, TX, batteries, batteries, cleaners, parts, etc. Cant go wrong for $20.

This is incredible!! I woulda given my left you know what for a class like this. I wish I could help you in some way but the best stuff I have found is FLY racing hauler bags and I bet if you hit up Jason Thomas on instagram he would hook you up with six of em. If nothing else get em at a major discount
