HRC Racing Transporter car bag

HRC Distribution have introduced the new HRC Racing Transporter car bag for 1/8th and 1/10th scale vehicles. The multi-functional bag allows to carry a single 1/8th or 1/10th scale vehicle with the raised side portions capturing the wheels and parts of the suspension, meaning any possible collected dirt stays inside the bag when carrying or storing the bag, meaning trunks, pit spaces or work benches stay cleaner for longer. An incorporated bottom plate provide additional stability to the bag while the patent pending backpack functionality allows to keeping both hands free despite carrying your car. The back measures 46x32cm and it is available from now on.
