nut-nut Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I live in Holland/Netherlands (as you may already know) and since I am a conscientious global citizen, I don't have a car, only a bike. I am thinking what would be the best way to carry my rig to where I am bashing, of course, strapping it to the back of my bike is an option, but, I'd love to see if anyone here has good solutions for dragging their gear to where they play without a car. Modified backpacks, modified bikes, trollies etc. My situation will be a Kraton 4S, a few tools and my radio gear, so, nothing too much, all on the back of one of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) http://speedrc.co.uk/trackstar-backpack-hauler/ It used to be cheaper (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/trackstar-vehicle-hauler-backpack.html) but isn't in stock. Great little piece of kit, got two of them - one for my wifes SCT, one for mine. Work an absolute treat. You'd need to check where to get it in the netherlands though (or, again, france/germany). edit: woops, nevermind - Kraton 4s doesn't fit, it's too wide. It'd fit if you take the wheels off, but honestly, there's better solutions for a Kraton than that then. Look at banggood.com and search for "tactical backpack". Looks a bit tacky, but who gives a damn, find one that fits the Kratons dimensions and bobs your uncle. edit2: here's two options that should fit your kraton based on the size advertised. https://www.banggood.com/90L-Outdoor-Folding-Bag-Military-Tactical-Backpack-Camping-Climbing-HIking-Bag-Luggage-Bags-p-1622720.html?rmmds=search&ID=46097&cur_warehouse=CN https://www.banggood.com/100L-Large-Capacity-Military-Tactical-Backpack-Outdoor-Hiking-Climbing-Camping-Bag-Travel-Rucksack-p-1589837.html?rmmds=search&ID=6175626&cur_warehouse=CN Again.. Probably not the prettiest things in the world, but who cares. I personally actually drag my newest RC to where i bash, tried lugging it around but at 30+lbs plus being unwieldy, i'm done with that option after one try. Two dog leashes, dragging it behind me.

Jumper Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 i just drive to the spot car park, then drive the rc to the bashing area. can normally tell when its getting low and drive back to the car before the batteries run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Well not an option if you don't have a car, as the OP mentioned. I drive to where i bash too, but it's a smallish hike to my favourite bashing spot there, i'd need basically a pack purely to get the RC there and back to the car.

nut-nut Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 In the netherlands, you know use a trailor when you are carrying a sofa, to be honest, even then, people carry sofa's without a trailor, I am just a soft Englishman.
