Overview
The Traxxas RC Duffel Bag TRX9917 is the ultimate storage and transport solution for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand professional-grade protection for their valuable models. Based on the pro-quality bags the Traxxas team uses in the field, this duffel bag is engineered to protect your gear and get you to your destination in style, whether you're heading to the track, your local bash spot, or competing at events across the country. If you're running 1/10 or 1/8 scale RC cars and trucks, this is the bag that separates casual hobbyists from dedicated RC enthusiasts who take their investment seriously.
Designed specifically for the demands of modern RC car ownership, the Traxxas duffel bag accommodates most 1/10 and 1/8 scale vehicles whilst providing intelligent storage for all your essential accessories. From your transmitter and charger to batteries, tools, and spare parts, every compartment has been thoughtfully designed to keep your equipment organised, protected, and instantly accessible. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying brushless RC trucks in the garden, a track racer running competitive 1/10 scale buggies and short course trucks, or someone exploring the world of RC crawlers, this bag has been engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the hobby.
The Traxxas duffel bag isn't just another gear bag—it's built to the same exacting standards as the trucks it transports. High-quality nylon fabric construction provides both strength and lightweight portability, whilst weather-resistant material ensures your valuable RC cars and electronics are protected from the elements. With heavy-duty reinforced zippers, padded compartments, and robust carry handles, this is professional RC storage that will serve you reliably for years of weekend adventures and competitive racing.
Key Features
- Holds Most 1/8 and 1/10 Scale RC Vehicles — The generous main compartment is specifically sized to accommodate most popular Traxxas models at these scales, including short course trucks, buggies, crawlers, and stadium trucks, making it the versatile choice for multi-vehicle collectors.
- Professional-Grade Weather-Resistant Nylon Construction — The thick, high-quality nylon fabric is engineered to repel water and protect against tears and punctures, ensuring your RC cars stay dry and safe whether you're transporting them in the boot of your car or storing them at home.
- Heavy-Duty Reinforced Zippers — Commercial-grade zippers throughout the bag ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability, so you can access your gear with confidence every single time without worrying about zippers failing at crucial moments.
- Large Padded Main Compartment — The spacious central compartment with robust padding on all sides cradles your RC model securely, minimising movement during transport and protecting against impact damage from bumps and jolts on the journey.
- Dual Mesh Side Pockets — These external pockets provide quick access to frequently used items like spare tyres, wheel adaptors, and small hand tools without disturbing your main model storage.
- Dual Oversize Outer Pockets — Generous external storage compartments keep larger accessories like battery chargers, tool sets, and spare bodies easily accessible and organised separately from your main vehicles.
- Adjustable Hook and Loop Straps for Transmitter and Charger Security — Specially designed end compartments with adjustable straps secure your expensive transmitter and battery charger firmly in place, preventing them from sliding around during transport and protecting against damage to sensitive electronics.
- Hooded Battery and Tool Compartments — Dedicated hooded pockets organise batteries, tools, and other miscellaneous gear in separate compartments with easy access, keeping everything you need within arm's reach at the track or bash spot.
- Reinforced Carry Handles with Metal Loops — Thick nylon strap handles utilise metal loops and reinforced stitching for durability and comfort, whilst the metal rings allow you to attach the optional TRX9924 shoulder strap (sold separately) for alternative carrying options.
- Protective Reinforced Bottom Panel with Plastic Foot Rails — The robust bottom construction features tough plastic feet that elevate the bag from ground contact, reducing wear, scuffs, and moisture absorption so your bag looks professional and lasts for years of regular use.
- Complete Compartmentalisation System — The intelligent layout with large centre compartment, dual oversize outer pockets, and hooded specialty pockets ensures everything from your 1/10 scale crawler to your charger, transmitter, and spare parts has a designated home, making it easy to find what you need instantly.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas RC Duffel Bag TRX9917 represents professional-grade engineering applied to RC storage and transport. The construction utilises premium-quality weather-resistant nylon fabric that delivers exceptional durability whilst remaining lightweight for comfortable carrying. The material's water-repelling properties protect your valuable Traxxas RC cars from moisture damage, whether you're transporting them in varying UK weather conditions or storing them between sessions. The entire bag features heavy-duty reinforced zippers throughout, ensuring smooth operation and long-term reliability even with frequent use. The main compartment measures 29.4 inches long (745mm) by 11.8 inches wide (300mm) by 11.8 inches tall (300mm), providing sufficient capacity for most 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC vehicles including popular Traxxas models such as the Slash 1/10 scale short course trucks, TRX-4 crawlers, and Mini Maxx vehicles. The bag's robust construction includes reinforced carry handles utilising thick nylon straps with metal loops for secure gripping and optional shoulder strap attachment. The reinforced bottom panel features tough plastic foot rails that protect the base from wear and scuffs whilst preventing direct ground contact that could damage the fabric or allow moisture ingress. Padded compartments throughout the bag provide shock absorption and protection for expensive RC equipment during transport, with the dual mesh side pockets and dual oversize outer pockets offering flexible storage for accessories, chargers, tools, and spare batteries. The hooded compartments with adjustable hook and loop straps keep transmitters and chargers securely in place during transit, whilst additional hooded pockets organise batteries and tools in dedicated spaces. The bag's intelligent design reflects the professional standards used by the Traxxas team in the field, combining practical functionality with genuine protective engineering for your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas RC models will fit in the TRX9917 duffel bag? — The bag accommodates most 1/8 and 1/10 scale Traxxas vehicles, making it compatible with popular models including the Slash 1/10 scale 2WD and 4WD short course trucks, Slash VXL variants in multiple colours, Slash Ultimate 4x4 VXL, Slash Extreme HD VXL, Mini Maxx BL-2S in all colour options, TRX-4 crawlers in various configurations including the Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne, Ford F-150 Ranger, Chevrolet K5 Blazer, 1979 Chevy Blazer, Nissan Pathfinder SE-V6, 2021 Ford Bronco, and TRX-4 Defender and Sport models. The generous 29.4 inch long main compartment easily accommodates these vehicles with room for additional accessories.
- Is the Traxxas duffel bag weatherproof for outdoor storage? — The bag features weather-resistant nylon fabric that repels water and protects against moisture ingress, making it excellent for transport and short-term storage in variable UK weather conditions. Whilst the material is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, it provides exceptional protection for your RC cars during typical use, travel, and storage situations. For long-term outdoor storage, you may wish to use an additional waterproof cover.
- Can I attach a shoulder strap to the TRX9917? — Yes, the carry handles feature metal loops specifically designed to accept the optional Traxxas TRX9924 shoulder strap (sold separately). This allows you to carry the bag hands-free or distribute the weight across your shoulder, though the shoulder strap must be purchased separately and is not included with this duffel bag.
- What makes the Traxxas duffel bag different from a standard gear bag? — The TRX9917 has been specifically engineered for RC car storage and transport, with dedicated compartments for transmitters, chargers, batteries, and tools that a generic sports or travel bag simply doesn't provide. The main compartment's dimensions are optimised for 1/8 and 1/10 scale vehicles, the reinforced zippers and heavy-duty nylon are rated for professional field use, the padded construction protects expensive electronics, and the plastic foot rails and weather-resistant materials extend the bag's service life far beyond standard alternatives.
- How durable is the Traxxas TRX9917 for regular use? — The bag is built to the same standards as Traxxas trucks themselves, featuring professional-grade materials including thick weather-resistant nylon, heavy-duty reinforced zippers, reinforced stitching on carry handles, and robust plastic foot rails. These specifications ensure the bag will provide reliable service for years of weekend bashing, track days, and competitive racing without requiring replacement.
- What can I store in the hooded compartments? — The hooded pockets are designed to organise batteries, tools, chargers, and miscellaneous gear in separate dedicated compartments for easy access. The adjustable hook and loop straps in the end compartments specifically secure transmitters and chargers in place, preventing them from shifting during transport and protecting sensitive electronics from damage.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
