1/16 RC Tank Container/Transportation?

Post by foxtrotraptor »

Hello guys

So now that I will have 2 RC tanks I was wondering what do you guys use for storage and transportation besides the Original box. Just wondering if there is anything else out there, and if so can anyone provide a link? Been looking around but cant seem to find anything. :thumbup:

I use plastic storage totes that I line with egg crate foam rubber cut to size. The containers are strong, lightweight and cheap. Plus they keep moisture out if any water is nearby. They also have locking tops and molded in handles! Then you can stack them too if needed since they are designed for that purpose. Try to find ones that aren't too big so your model sits secured with the padding and I also can add a spot for the radio and batteries.

Just my preference

Hope this helps

That is a great idea. I can find the totes but where can I get that foam?
