Default Pit boxes/Tool boxes.

What do you use for your tools and gear? Im looking for something that will fit both tools and 1/10 truck. Preferably plastic not looking for a craftsman 4 drawer chest, too heavy.

I have 2 of these: http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...cemldffidfjm.0
I have one for my electric cars and one for my nitro. They are really great. Big stuff can go in the bottom, tools on the tool tray along with a little cut off section for servos and RX's and other delicate stuff. Then the lid has 2 little organizer things on the top. It also comes in a 20" long version on page 1 of their tool boxes.

I got an old metal tool box maybe a foot long and a half a foot wide for carrying my stuff to the track but for spare and extra parts i have an old tin about one or 2 square feet. it works perfectly for me.

I use a fishing tackle box for pit boxes and then a Craftsman toolbox for my tools. It takes just about all the room in my car to carry everything I take to the track. Here is one of my pit boxes and my tool box.

I use a Plano tackle box, very similar to the one 46U posted. Got it at WalMart for less than $20
