I have one blog writen my RC tools box but accidentally deleted. Now i redo again, My RC tools box is simple not too fancy and expensive. My big tools box buy in Ipoh Jaya Jasco for RM60. Yellow colour, have a top compartment and 3 small drawers. It for my starter box battery, tyre, Tools ect.
In the begining i want to buy each RC with their own spare parts box, but if do that, my room will have 20 or more storage box. So just buy few big and share.
For screw, parts, i buy long small storage box with many small compartment. Then buy a special bag for Rm29 can carry 3 tools box. My tools to open screw, adjustment, measurement, i buy loose not in set. No branded tools, as long it can open, adjust, tighten is enough.

I have a crazy idea starting when i play RC. Every time i buy parts, at the top packing is the part name card, i always keep it even it a small card. I will Wright the date at back and prince or the parts name that didn't mention. In my computer i have all thr list that i buy and the price. This because i want to now how much i already spend in playing RC. From 1995 to 2020. Not 100% correct but i thing 95%, some time maybe forget to key in. Even some buying receipts i still keep.
 |
| I put it in a plastic folder bag. In 2019 i still have a big stack but can't put in anymore. |
 |
| This from kyosho from lhs blue is all for my kyosho spider. The rest v one till FW06 |
 |
| Not all parts i buy from a same brain. Examples fuel filter is costly original from Kyosho so i will buy more cheeper from other manufacturers. |
 |
| some of this parts buy for my modification. Like Q world they mostly sale colours aluminium servo horn. |
 |
| HY cheap parts from China |
 |
| Even just a small paper regarding the parts i will keep it. |
 |
| Another 100++ more not yet separate. |
My Lipo Low Battery Buzzer. It for 1,2,3,4S. If 2S battery full charge the green light will light up 2 led, if below mean low battery. The 3 week +, of stay at home because Covid 19 in Malaysian 11/4/2020 extended another 2 more weeks till 28/4/2020. So take out this Buzzer and do a casing from aluminium.
