Look into my tool box...


And I still borrow parts on the field from just about everyone. I have a whole lot of nothing in my tool/parts box.
 
Yeah but have the crap in there, well a good quarter, is stuff I have no idea how it got there. I mean my paintball tool box had tools and parts I had collected in 16 years. That's just over a year of only 4 different RC's.
 
Sky and I are like peas and carrots, complete opposites in all respects except bashing. I'd take a few pics of his tool box but I think I'd lose my lunch seeing how organized and clean it is...
 
same here! all i need is a screwdriver for my NTC3. Why do you have so many parts, i have a ziploc baggy FULL of stuff, but that is stuff that is the original stuff, that i replaced w/ a hop up. But I have no idea how you would collect that much stuff!
 
I guess the little baggies that come with replacement parts for the replacement parts your just bought. Ting tool bags. Parts that no longer fit my t-maxx since I did a 21 conversion, etc, etc... It add up rather rapidly.

This morning after I picked up my roommate who just came home from the desert we stayed up and had a BS session which I was working on my t-maxx while we were talking. Anyway, after I started putting my stuff away I looked at a few parts in my tool box and had no earthly idea of what they belonged to, ever. Since I still have a separate tool/parts kit from paintball and the only thing transfers from the paintball to RC tool box is just tools I believe it's not a paintball part. Maybe I'll figure it out one year.
 
LOL, I dont use a tool box, but I use a tool bag. I have a socket wrench, 3 glow plugs, 2 glow ignitors A screw driver with changable bit thingys, plyers, electrical tape and a set of tires either onroad or offroad. Works great for me cause i got a storm and that beast is durable.
 
Pirata, you think it is clean and organized now? Wait until I sell the T-Maxx and I have no use for all of the spare Maxx parts. It will get even more organized and clean...'cause I do not have that many spare parts requirements for the Savage.
 
Damn you just gave me a great Idea. You know what you get medicin and you use the syringe without a need to measure it. I'm going to takeing one of those with me. Next time my engine is flooded I can plug the tip into the fuel line and suck out the fuel. No more screwed up taste buds for days!
 
You use them to fill the fuel tank too. You can be Mr GQ and buy a cool looking little fuel bottle to fill the tank but it's so much easier with a baster.
 
Look on the bright side. You got all kindz of springs and it all very neat!! :) Seriously though. I can only wish to have a toolbox that organized.

Maybe, maybe not. Look at it this way. The stuff you have would be the first things you would need if you didn't have it. That's just the way things go, at least for me they do. I can have bags or boxes of stuff but never seem to have the one part I need.

That's about right for me too. I guess some of the parts I have in there should probably be sifted through since a great many I still keep will no longer fit since I have done so many mods to most of my RC's. There are also the parts that came with some of my rc's that I have no idea what they might fit or which RC they go on.
