I use the smaller Stanley tool box and it has plenty of space. I built a seperate starter box and have a transmitter case, so my tool box needs are pretty simple. One suggestion since you're getting started and have to buy stuff anyway- I used the gell cell battery for awhile and found the cord to be really annoying. The battery is a pain to lug around too. If you will get a NiCd battery pack (2 7.2 volt car packs work well wired in series) and mount it to your starter, you'll have a much lighter and more convenient setup. Safer too since you don't have a wire to get caught in your prop.
