This HPI/HB Hauler Bag is roomy enough for a 1/8 scale buggy or touring/drift car and all required accessories, it’s sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of international travel.

Tough carry handles at each end and a long shoulder strap give you more carrying options. The zippered top shelf has loop-style tool holders or can easily fit a tool organizer. The selection of side pockets includes a huge side pocket that can hold an extra-large setup board, an end pocket for instruction manuals or magazines, and two pockets on the opposite end that can hold cleaning spray cans and diff or shock oils. The main body of the HPI/HB Hauler Bag features a full-side zippered opening that rolls up and is secured with hook-and-loop fasteners to stay out of the way of the 5 corrugated plastic drawers.
