Buy a DJI if what you actually want is to take good photos/videos, with Potensic being an alternative, go DIY if what you actually want is a fun project.

Rather than buy big dedicated bags with minimal padding I would rather just carry my RC car in backpack / duffel I already own. But I would like a form fitting bag I could put my car or controller in inside my bag. (double bagging it) Does anyone happen to know anything that would fit for 1/24 scale RC car ?

I guess I could just use a basic camping stuff sack but if anyone could think of anything better...

To answer my own question. I went digging around in stuff I already own. Those promotional soft side lunch boxes / 6 can-ish size cooler they will fit in and have pretty good padding. Your specific car might be a bit too big though.

harbor freight gun cases are pretty good, they come with foam to cut out.
kinda bulky but it should easily carry everything you need on a track day with a 1/24

BetaFPV Pavo 20 Pro 4S

Got a Whoopstor 3? Greatest 1S charger I know of. Did 3 hours of flying a couple Saturdays ago because I can swap in batteries and they're done by the time my last battery is discharged. 2S charge of course.

I got the Geprc woo power and I charge it off of ridgid power tool batteries and an inverter in the field

No idea if I’m retarded or not for doing it

You're losing a fair bit of efficiency that way. You're going DC->AC->DC->less DC. Try to cut some conversions out if you can.

cut out the inverter and plug in the tool lion pack via the xt60 directly. just keep an eye on the input voltage so you don't fuckup your tool packs.
