Senton bag for transporting your 1/10 Arrma?

[jrude]

Last week my son had his first RC club meet and I delivered the Senton after school, purely for safety reasons, not because I wanted to see how the RC cars all raced against each other.

However, this week I'm just going to let my son take it in the morning, the RC club teacher can lock all the cars in a closet before school. I saw some of his peers had bags which are apparently specifically for RC cars. However, the bags I see on Amazon are either really cheap and just look like a duffel bag, or really expensive and have more features than we really need. I figured we would just use a duffel bag but we don't already have one big enough so I need to get something to keep it all together.

So, what bag can you recommend? Low end to mid price range please, is less than $40 do-able?

Does the hard top and bottom panel really have any benefit?

I'd like some separate pockets to drop the transmitter and batteries in, or should I get a separate metal box for the batteries?

Carry-able by an 8YO boy so not too heavy.

Thanks!

I have one of these and it holds my granite plus some other stuff. I find it light, durable and there are some extra pockets. I would buy it again.
Double check the measurements on the Senton though.

I really like the HPI hauler bag, at $180, it's pricey and a bit overkill for what your wanting. Having wheels though does make it easier to tote around for any distance.

RCPlanet lists quite a few to give you an idea what's out there for RC use:

My first bag was a simple wing tote bag, like this. Got me through the first few years with a t-maxx and savage. On thing that bugged me with it was it didn't have a shoulder strap. It held up well to abuse though. They make one specific for short course trucks for $55:

Can see a review video for it as well:

Thanks everyone for the replies. As we were looking around my son saw an orange duffel bag which will probably fit, and it was really cheap.

For $9.90 and two day delivery we are going to try it, should be here tomorrow. If it doesn't work then it becomes a sports bag for flag football.

I have this bag and can fit my 6s Kraton or tekno MT410 or 6S Senton, with wheels removed, remote, spare batteries, small charger, spare parts and tools. I use it a lot on flights to different states. It can be stored in the overhead compartment on the plane. Very useful.

That bag looks really nice and the price is excellent! ?

Received the $9.90 bag and the Senton fits pretty well. Came with a shoulder strap and an extra shoe bag.

Not bad at all! A few years ago I struggled to find a bag to fit a short course truck. This one looks like a good find and nice color.

A bag we can find in any of our supermarket :

Big, strong and cheap (i can even put 3/4 of a Kraton 6s and my toolbox inside).
