Default Hauler Bag

What hauler bags are people using for their 1/10 off road buggies?

I bought the giant Hudy hauler bag for a whopping £220 only to find the damn thing doesn't fit in my 1:1 car.....

So I now have a hauler I can't use, and still need a suitable method of transporting my buggies, tools, spares and accessories to the track without having to make a dozen trips to and from the car!

So what are you all using? My 1:1 car is a 57 reg Ford Focus hatchback so anything I get would need to go in the back of that standing upright.

I think it may be the height that's the problem ? I got a 08 focus hatchback and the 1/8th fastrax bag fits fine .....

Yeah it is the height that's the problem. It would go in if I removed the spare wheel and consequently lowered the floor of the car, but I can't be bothered with that week in week out. I'd rather sell this hauler to someone with a bigger car and get myself one that actually fits in my boot. Which I should have checked in the first place of course.....

For 1/10th using the giant hudy bag so i can get all my 2 and 4wd kit in the one bag have a Mondeo Estate and the roof of that is only just high enough.
For 1/8th have a Venom which is not as tall.

How tall is the thing then? To get my hauler in my car i just take the parcel shelf off and it fits no problem at all. Or wont it fit on the back seat, held in with the seat belt so it doestn hit you if you brake suddenly.
