Save some money here people

[CaptNitro]

Hey everyone, just a public service announcement to save you some money. On ebay there is a hobby shop selling wing tote bags for carrying your monster truck in. That is fine but people are paying up to 85.00 dollars for these things!!!!!!!! Tower hobbies has the identical bags on their web site for 35.00, a 50 dollar savings. So if you are in the market for these bags, buy the way I have 3 and they are great, go to tower first. Just trying to save you some money

There's a guy who make carrying things for monster trucks. He flies at my model airplane field.

His company is something like "wing tote" some poop.

I could probably get them for pretty good prices if I want to.

Yeah maybe some type of group buy? We do group buys alot on some car forums I am a member of and I am sure if we approached some companies willing to sell X amount at a better rate we can all get some sweet deals.

Yeah I've seen some heated battles on e-bay for some things I know people could get cheaper. I think some people don't stop and think before they bid on an item that they could probably find for less if they just searched. Why waste 10 minutes searching for an item when I can spend 50% more and buy this one on e-bay.

jon2: go to www.towerhobbies.com and in the search box type in this part # sa206 that brings up the tote for 1/8 scale cars & trucks. I just think it is nuts that people are paying this guy up to 85 dollars for something that only costs 35.00. Maybe I should buy up all of these and put them up on ebay, I could make enough profit to get me another RC LOL

Just go to Tower Hobbies & type in "Tote Bag" in the search field. All kinds of bags will come up. Take a look and decide what you need to hold all your stuff.

You can also just buy a duffle bag or a travel bag from the luggage department @ walmart for $15-$20. (who cares if your carry bag doesn't say trinity or anything else on the side).

Later....:mex:

I see this one on Tower for $35.99.Wingtote deluxe

There is also this one which is $64.99. Wingtote Extreme deluxe

Maybe the folks on ebay are actually buying the Extreme model. Still would be overpaying, but not as much.

Just my

I bought a huge samsonite bag at filenes basement that is big enough to hold either two maxxs or my maxx and toolbox along with nitro and everything else I need. I only paid $20 on sale so you can probably find something like it at any filenes basement, tj maxx, marshalls etc.

I have a Pelican case for my pistols, but I never even thought to use them for my nitros. Good idea.

One of those cases with foam in them with cutouts for the items you are carrying. People use them for cameras, guns etc.

 

[El Pirata]

They're built to survive world war 3 and 4 back to back. They are the best cases I have seen. While they don't hold up too well to bullets you can literally drop them from a 2 story building and they and their cargo inside will survive. http://www.casesbypelican.com/Pelican-cases-sizes.htm

 

[jon2]

Don't you have to get the custom foams for those to really protect your car?
