The bag protects your investment from dust, minor impacts and environmental damage that can accumulate during regular movement.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Truggy/Buggy Carry Bag is engineered as a transport and storage solution for 1/8th scale RC buggies and truggies, which represent some of the most popular and demanding vehicle classes in the UK RC hobby market. The bag's internal dimensions of 65cm (length) by 38cm (width) by 24cm (height) have been calculated to provide optimal fit for this scale class, ensuring that vehicles sit securely without excessive movement that could cause damage during transport. The construction utilises robust materials designed to withstand the rigours of regular RC hobby use, from weekly track sessions to competitive racing events. The bag's design philosophy prioritises easy access to your vehicle and accessories, allowing you to quickly unpack at the track and efficiently pack away after your session. Built to accommodate 1/8th scale buggies and truggies with their typically long wheelbase and wide track width, the bag provides the internal volume necessary for these larger vehicles whilst remaining portable enough for regular transportation. The 65cm length is particularly important for 1/8th scale models, as these vehicles often exceed 60cm in total length with their suspension components fully extended. This generous specification ensures that even larger truggy platforms fit comfortably without requiring disassembly or awkward positioning that could stress suspension components or damage body shells during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this carry bag fit my 1/8th scale buggy or truggy? — Yes, the Fastrax bag is specifically designed for 1/8th scale buggies and truggies. With internal dimensions of 65cm length, 38cm width and 24cm height, it will easily accommodate these vehicle classes. However, please note that some customers have reported that certain models with extended suspension geometry (such as the HPI Trophy Truggy 4.6) may be a tight fit or require the vehicle to be positioned without the inner support frame of the bag for maximum space utilisation.
• What accessories can I store in this bag alongside my RC car? — The Fastrax Carry Bag is designed with enough internal volume to accommodate your vehicle plus essential accessories. You can store spare LiPo batteries, battery chargers, hex key sets, screwdrivers, spare tyres and wheels, servo spares, tool kits, and other small RC hobby essentials all within the bag alongside your main vehicle, making it a complete transport solution for a full RC session.
• Is this suitable for competitive RC racing? — Absolutely. Many competitive RC racers use soft-sided carry bags like this as their primary transport solution for club events and regional competitions. The bag protects your vehicle from dust and minor impacts whilst keeping it accessible for quick setup adjustments and maintenance between heats. For serious national-level competition, some racers may prefer hard cases, but for club-level and weekend racing, this bag is ideal.
• How does this compare to hard transport cases? — The Fastrax soft-sided carry bag is significantly lighter, more portable and more affordable than rigid hard cases, whilst still providing adequate protection for regular transport and storage. Hard cases offer superior protection for extreme travel conditions or long-term storage, but for weekly track use and local events, the soft-sided approach of this Fastrax bag is perfectly adequate and much more convenient. The key difference is portability and cost — you can easily carry this bag with one hand and move it around your vehicle or home, whereas hard cases require two hands and significant storage space.
• Can I fit other 1/10 scale RC vehicles in this bag? — The bag is specifically designed for 1/8th scale vehicles, which are larger than typical 1/10 scale buggies and trucks. Depending on the specific 1/10 scale model and its dimensions, you may have some success, but the bag is optimally proportioned for 1/8th scale class vehicles. If you regularly transport 1/10 scale vehicles, you may find the bag offers slightly more space than necessary.
• What is the bag's internal space like when fully packed? — The 65cm length, 38cm width and 24cm height gives you approximately 59,280 cubic centimetres of internal volume. In practice, this allows your 1/8th scale vehicle to sit with room around it for accessories, spare batteries, chargers and tools. Most users find they can comfortably pack their complete RC session kit — vehicle plus spares and tools — without overpacking or requiring the bag to be uncomfortably full.
• Is this bag suitable for storing my RC car long-term? — Yes, the Fastrax bag is suitable for both transport and storage. The soft-sided construction protects your vehicle from dust, moisture and environmental contaminants whilst keeping it organised and accessible. For long-term storage in a garage or spare room, the bag keeps your valuable RC equipment secure and protected without requiring a dedicated display cabinet or hard case.
