TL;DR - what's the best setup for storing spare parts and tools for RC cars? Ideally portable...
As my tools and parts proliferate, we are outgrowing the little cardboard box all the stuff is thrown in. Not knowing where this is all going, but seemingly accumulating more parts every week, I'd like perspective. For climbing, skiing, cycling I know exactly what I need even through I'll never be done acquiring new gear, but for RC I have no idea where the asymptote is...
We have an outcast 6s now. May end up with a MT410 also at some point. But that's going to be the limit, I swear
For parts, it feels like I'd like to have room for the bits and bobs like bags of shock ends (currently keep those in the bags they come in, and that seems like a good strategy for me); some spare wheels/tires (I imagine we may branch out from the stock tires at some point, although we'll see); bearings; other frequently broken things like wing mounts maybe; not sure what else people keep on hand. Don't have an LHS. Show me your storage systems? Do you have one with quick fix items to take with you when you run the car, and one that stays in the shop?
For tools, I have a handful of drivers, the basic tools that came with the rig, a shock multi-tool, a couple pliers. Plus a growing collection of lubes and presumably will need some diff oils and who knows what else. What's the best toolbox for RC cars?
My son has sweetly offered to make me a box, so one of these could even be designed to order! Pics or better links to your ideal setups would be much appreciated!
