Yokomo hand carry car bag

Yokomo has produced a new hand-carry bag featuring the Yokomo Racing Factory logo for transporting your RC car to the race track.  The bag is large enough to hold not only touring cars and drift cars, but also wide offroad cars.  The bag is also equipped with a belt to easily hold the machine for safe transportation.  The nylon material is stain-resistant, and cushioned rubber is added to the inner lining to prevent it from losing its shape, enhancing a sense of security.  There is enough room for an offroad car, so tyres, spare body, parts case, etc. can be all in one bag.  Use of the new carry bag in conjunction with a racing pit bag or similar bag will dramatically increase storage capacity.
