MonacoRC Medium bag black V2

MonacoRC have restyled their line of bags dedicated to the RC world and this medium sized bag is the first to have undergone the restyling process. The new MonacoRC bag is distinguished from the previous version by a greater attention to detail, with the full interior printing of the MonacoRC logo in red tone on tone and the superior quality of workmanship. Inside, the practical mesh pocket is also red and a MonacoRC label has been applied to embellish it. The exterior remains similar, but for practical reasons there are now two zippers with the MonacoRC logo instead of one. Measuring 22.5cm x 18cm x 7cm, this bag is ideal for transporting chargers like the Icharger 406, tire warmer, batteries and is also ideal for carrying tools.
