Title: Best way to carry 1/8 scale truggy on a bike
Post by: Karthik9 on November 05, 2011, 02:41:28 AM
I have a 1/8th scale truggy. I was wondering if there is some kinda a carry case for the truggy ??? that can sit on a bike?
Taking the truggy in a regular backpack is a pain with all the tools and fuel.
If someone has any innovative ideas, would love to hear them :)

PS: Buying a 1:1 scale car to carry my truggy :P is ruled out as I can't afford that. Spent all on the truggy  ;D

Well, we have discussed this before but haven't come up with a good solution. You can use a bigger bag but I'm not sure it'll be easy to carry on a bike. Maybe something like a 'carrier' on the rear?

Well i use a luggage bag,basically a laptop back bag which also has wheels,remove the tires and wing.

But i use a scooter put the tires,wing under the seat ,put the starter box/radio case on the floor and car in the back pack.

You can get a luggage bag or large duffle bag with stiff base. Put some board or thin piece of plywood to stiffen the base. Tie it to the seat using luggage cords.

Or get corrugated plastic material that they use for packing. Make a box from it and get a rexin to cover it. See Facebook pics of my hauler. You will get some idea.

Well the bag ideas are fine, but the only problem is keeping it steady on the bike.

Tying the bag using cords is good though but i was looking at something more sophisticated.
@ajo - how is the hauler any different from a normal bag? Other than the additional compartments? I mean does it have any advantages over a normal luggage bag in terms of holding it on a bike?

@iamhuman - a carrier on Yamaha FZ?? i so doubt that  :P I would'nt want to spoil the aesthetics of the bike

I was looking at having a clamp on the rear, something similar to a helmet holder but a lot more firm. Has anyone tried that before?
