Default Which MT Tote Bag-Wing Tote or Trinity??

One T-Maxx item that my wife is actually TELLING me to make is a tote bag

I was starting to settle on one of the two Wing Tote models...

...but then I saw that Trinity has a new one, too:

It's a toughie....Wing Tote is a "bag specialist", but Trinity is pretty strong in that arena too (as well as all wheeled things RC).

Anyone have any personal experience with any of these bags and/or brands of bags?

I have two Trinity bags. I use the large bag with wheels for the T-Maxx though it doesn't hold much more than the T-Maxx (unless you want to stuff something on the side of it). It is my understanding that Trinity has a newer bag which is larger but I have yet to see it and the Trinity booth didn't have it when I stopped by at the Hobby Visions convention. I also don't know if it has wheels or not.

The other Trinity bag I have has a bottom boxed compartment which holds my 1/8 scale buggy just fine. However, the zipper on the upper portion started to come unattached from the bag shortly after I purchased it. I also wouldn't put a starter box inside it and try carrying it because the box material for the bottom part can't handle too much of a load on top of it.

I think I also looked at those red tote bags at the R/C show but didn't stick around that booth very long. I did pick up a brochure (but don't have it with me) and the guy said to go ahead and give him a jingle. It's just too bad I didn't arrive at the show earlier as I had originally planned.

You can also read a few bag reviews in some of the RC Car Action magazines. If I recall correctly, one article mentioned the same thing about the zipper on the "buggy" bag that I wrote above.

Bags are great, it makes it much easier to get your stuff to the track. They also help keep your dirty truck from making a dirty car. My trnity bag ripped at the seams in 3 places, this dissapointed me very much.
