Kraton What do you all pack in your toolboxes?

[DKPatriots]

Happy Saturday everyone!! I'd like to start a discussion on what you all carry with you in your "repair toolbox" so that you have tools and spares for when things break during a bashing or racing session. I'm looking for ideas on what I need to get for toolbox I'm putting together.

Here's what I've got so far:

• Good metric Allen Key set
• Socket wrench with metric sockets
• 4 in 1 screwdriver (large and small phillips + large and small flathead)
• Spare tire for the vehicle I'll be using that day.
• Spare Servo
• Jennys RC screw set for your vehicle model(s).
• Any adapters you need to get your batteries connected to your ESC
• 4-8 AA batteries
• Infrared temp gun

What other stuff do you all have in your repairs toolbox?

Wheel nuts!
General easy to replace spares too, like A arms and shock rodends, maybe a wingmount but actually you can drive without a wing lol.
I mean, these aren't always the first thing to break but you're not gonna be doing a diff rebuild in the field, are you? xD

I bring spare parts, stock wrench set, Allen wrench set, spare pinion gear, screwdriver set. fyi fast drying tire glue might be a good update for my sack but any new ideas on the stuff to put in my bag is welcome

Temp gun
Street/bash tires
3 fat ass joints of California hydro that's it be too high to wrench on anything

Rigid makes a nice compartmentalized box that has worked well for me.

That's beautiful!! Now I'm thinking I should go with something like that over a traditional toolbox since I'll want more things in compartments anyway. Can you fit 1/8 scale tires in there? Any idea what model that is? I'm gonna look at that style on HomeDepot.com now.

They make various box sizes - this one is narrow with a clear lid. They do make a roller though, that would store tires. They stack and latch nicely as well. Good luck!

@NastyNate That IS a nice case! I agree with @DKPatriots , might have to switch out my traditional toolbox for something like this.

I just bring a spare car with me instead of a toolbox

 

[RookieNumberss]

Hex tools (for nuts and screws)
Like Engineer said above another car because who has time to fix stuff lmao
And extra AA batteries. My transmitters die sometimes because I don't take the batteries out when I store them since I'm lazy

I'm using an open toolbag, tools on the side, case of screws and room for batteries, remote, cones and other stuff.
No Allen wrenches, those are awful, I do have some just for those odd angles but hardly ever use them. MIPs stay at home, lost one recently in the field, chinese junk for on the road where I don't deal with threadlock stuff.

Bring your favorite snacks in your sack.

Beer, peanuts, chips ,dip, popcorn ....JK , I travel light. Most of my spots are close to home. Run and done, then go home to clean and repair.

 

[jkflow]
