Plano is the ultimate RC pit box. These are very popular for good reason.

I am using identical-size airtight food storage containers to keep things organised in my Ogio Rig 9800. One for Yokomo parts, one for springs, one for the soldering station, one for the charger and power supply,one for generic stuff like screws, wires and tape... You get the idea.

Im ising some milk crates type boxes that are a little wider than actual milk creates. Those stacked and a foldable two wheel dollie. You can hang tools on the outside through the holes. Or use as another small stand.

When I travel, or visit a track with a long walk from the parking lot to the pits, I use this waterproof hauler to fit all my pit gear in one trip:

I used to use it all the time, but I found it to be a wash between loading it up with my equipment, vs just loading up the back seat of my truck with tote boxes. The local club that I race has a loading area that is just a few feet from the entrance to the pit room so 4 quick trips to load my pit table is no big deal. I have used it for travel and raced out of state where all my equipment was nice and dry after driving through several rain storms. On that same trip I took my son snow skiing and was able to fit the box in the back seat of my Chevy Colorado. No problem fitting four cars and all my gear in a bunch of tupperware boxes stacked inside the large box. It's very high quality and will last a very long time.

Only potential drawback is if you load it with too much heavy gear, it can be a challenge to lift into the bed of a truck by yourself... I have managed it just fine alone but I'm a fairly big guy with a strong back (so far).

Either walmart sells good cheap ones or if you want to look good, get an Ogio bag.

See my post in the racing section about a Smart Cart Wide Load I got from the rainforest for $33. Fairly sturdy with wheels and a handle, my 16” toolbox goes in first along with the charger and spare wheels, then a tray with the car on top of that. Another vehicle can go on top when you close the lid, and a side pouch holds the lipo sack.

I have been using this box since the mid 1990's..
a real performer.
if looking for used.. check for cracks around the handle.. mine is not cracked.
