I have been using that bag for almost a year now with no issues.

About to buy another one so I can have one complete bag for 8th scale / nitro and one bag for my 10th scale / electric stuff.

you have tons of room left in it? i only see pics of them online and have only seen a few glimpses of some at the track. how are the drawers? ive heard a few small complaints about the Top folding in from to much weight. and some people have add metal 90 degree angle bars to hold it up. ANY PICS? thanks a bunch

My brother-in-law just bought the Protek bag. I use an Ofna bag. They're very similar in size. I like the Protek because it has the built in tool tray on the top versus a tool pouch and the drawers are plastic versus cardboard. I like the Ofna because it has 2 big drawers & 2 small drawers versus 1 big drawer and 4 small drawers with the Protek. I also like that the Ofna comes with a radio bag, the Protek does not. Protek is $180, my Ofna was $90 at my lhs.

I have been using the Venom bag. I love it so far. It has plenty of room and can hold a good amount of weight. I haven't had any problems out of it so far.

You could fit a 1/10 scale car in each large drawer. I've had mine for about a year and the cardboard is fine but I could see it being an issue over time especially being exposed to the elements. Ofna does sell replacement drawers.

Look into dufflebags and luggage options. I spent less than 40$ at target for a rolling dufflebag that has a retractable handle, 2 large compartments and 2 smallee compartments.

It holds my sc10 4x4 and 2 smaller tool boxes along with spare tires and more in the main compartment and my b4, 6 lipos, 2 spectrum transmitters, 2 chargers and a power supply with room to spare.

All the dedicated hauler bags feel cheap.

Been using one of these for 2 years now. $80, no cardboard/cloth construction, can roll it over anything, and I have it loaded down with probably 40lbs of gear and have had zero problems.

When someone has one of those blocking the aisle they don't look so good.

I unload what I need out of mine and keep it under the table.

Same scenario with all the pit haulers that have the tool boxes on top.
