If you are using AM/FM radio, crystals for Rx and Tx...
You never know if one goes out when you drop the radio
or if people have the same frequencies as you for some reason.

being extra cautious.

Lake run but its 4-5 hours form home and a bunch of children will be using the boat. I bought it more as a family toy.

I'd add a temp gun or infrared thermometer for checking motor/esc/battery temps after long runs.

I used to carry a volt meter but I have never used it! nor has anyone ever asked for one at the lake and this is over 3 years of racing! ocasionally someone asks for a soldering iron, rare though.

Amazing how much stuff you find youself needing when you get to the lake. I was always forgetting something till I found the right hauler bag. Since I didnt see any mention of the bag it self thought I would share this with you guys. Makes taking a trip to the lake like fun again. http://www.kintecracing.com/Boat_Tote_Bag.html
