Default Wingtote bag for tanks (heli's)

Looks like wingtote is back in the business of selling bags that will fit most tanks. A bit pricey compared to say a tool box from home depot, but these are stackable, padded bottoms/sides and have end pockets for TX's, tools, spare parts, batts, etc. I've had the first release of these for over 10 years and love them.

Yeah, a home depot box is 10-20 bucks. And you can tightly pack it into thw box so it doesnt move if you put foam cushion around it.

Those do look nice, but I gotta go with the tool box, for value and sturdiness

Do you guys have to remove the turret to fit in the tool boxes?

Yea that medium might be an issue, with most of the bigger tanks being 20cm or more you might have too tight of a fit. I always keep my boxes to store the tanks in but I agree Stanley makes some pretty nice ones. I actually almost picked one up recently that would of fit a KT and had plenty of extra space. It was fairly cheap too and even had roller wheels and an extending handle.

A lot of the guys in our club use plastic tubs from Walmart. Cost about 7 bucks. They have lockable lids and lined with foam I get at Len's Mill Store in town they work great and are totally stackable. I also can attest that once closed they are water proof as I drove 2 hours home in a downpour from a battleday one time...

Lowes carries a plastic tool box that I measured and will fit the Jagdpanther with no problem by Kobalt tools! the box measures 26" x 10". the Jagdpanther measures 24 1/8"L x 8 W x 7 H. The King Tiger will even fit and it measures 25 3/8" L x 8 3/4 W x 8 H.
