Looks like Hobbyking got their problem figured out and the hauler bag now has a shipping option.

Just picked that Turnigy bag up. Hard to say no to something that can carry a SCT in a single box especially for $45. That is insane.

Good find!

The bag is $44, if you add something to your order to get it over $50 then shipping is free.

Got my Turnigy bag today. This is the best bag you will find. Its the size of a 1/8 buggy tote. For $44 its a freaking bargain. The next bag that even comes close is over $100.

As the other guy stated, once you remove the boxes it will collapse. I think im going to grab some styrene from Home Depot and hot glue it to the sides to keep the bag upright. Everything else is perfect on it. The coroplast drawers are thick and sturdy.

It will hold as much stuff as my HUGE Wingtote Deluxe Truck bag. Ill grab some pics tonight.

Got mine today and WOW! At first I thought it was going to be too big, but it's an inch taller and 6 inches longer than my old Venom hauler. Very surprised it came assembled too lol.

Just got my bag today as well. Cannot believe the size of it. Can't wait to get stuff organized in it.

Until you try to pick it up for the first time. They get heavy, fast.

While the bag holds a ton of stuff, I found myself not liking it after just one day

The fact that a box needs to be taken all the way out, then have room to set it down and open it up, was really annoying. I'll probably use it for car storage or for my other hobby, miniature gaming.

I had that kind of bag. Looked sturdy at the beginning, after few months of use the frame collapsed.
I put lots of stuff in because of the large boxes, that was a bad idea.
I do not recommend it

This is the biggest problem. I cut the tops off the boxes and it works ok but can crush whatever is in the lowest box.

I need to find boxes that can be stacked on top of each other for it to work correctly. For now i am still using my Wingtote Deluxe bag but will continue to try to get it to work. It was much better taking the Hobbyking bag to the track but shuffling the boxes annoyed me too much.

Tamiya makes almost the same bag with boxes that have open tops. I may look into buying those boxes and see if they work.

+1 for Ogio and Protek
The Ogio is great for traveling on planes and is very durable, the Protek is convenient for getting stuff across the parking lot. In the Ogio, you have to unpack everything, while in the Protek, you can leave most of the stuff inside. Not sure about the new turnigy bag, but I would guess it has durability issues. All rc bags are overpriced, so get the one you like best and looks the coolest. Ask people at your track for more recommendations.

I really like large duffels and multiple tackle boxes.
I have the largest north face duffel and it easily holds 3 or 4 sct's.
Then i have another one that holds all my tackle boxes and plastic containers.
Works well for me, and used duffels are a dime a dozen.
