Moving RC cars

[Cheetah928]

Hey RCT! This summer I'll be moving across the country and I'm wondering the best way for me to get my cars and setup to my new home safely and relatively budget friendly. All opinions welcome!

Are you shipping your stuff or are you traveling with it?

When I moved I was able to pack them into heavy cardboard boxes. I would take the wheels off most of them, packing the wheels beside the vehicles. Wings and accessories off, etc. I would bubble wrap them and ensure there is sufficient filler in the box.

For shipping items I use similar methods. OEM RTR boxes are nice in this regard if you still have them. I wrap them in shipping paper if I am sending them out.

I forwarded my address. Send them all to me for safe keeping. Once you get settled in your new place, I'll send you pictures.


I agree, heavy cardboard boxes, bubble wrap... Ship bodies and wings separately.

How many cats we talking and are they going with you or on a truck?

Well I'm doing a bit of both. We're getting a thing from PODS but also will be driving down there. I'm thinking it would be bad to ship my lipos. I'm taking 3 1/10 scale cars, my trx-4m, and a plane.

Good luck with pods. Hopefully tgey dont scam you like tgey did us. Get everything in writing so they can't tack on hidden fees.

Id also put gps in with the cars.

Oh did they scam you? My grandparents moved to SC last summer and they had no issues with pods. Smart to put GPS in there. Any good ones that aren't air tags? I don't have an iPhone.

What about all my tools and parts and all that?

Ahh that's a smart idea. I don't have any of the RTR boxes left over though. I'll be getting a bunch of moving boxes, but I'll make sure to get heavy duty ones for my RCs.
