Plastic box for slot 16.5x7.5x4.5 from Ministry of Hobby

The order in the workshop starts with having the right container for each part

Any slot enthusiast who has ever transported a prepared car knows the risk involved: a bump in the bag, a bent wing, a misplaced guide, or damaged braids can ruin the setup of an entire afternoon. The plastic box for slot from Ministry of Hobby is designed precisely to avoid that, without complications.

Main features

• External dimensions: 16.5 × 7.5 × 4.5 cm, dimensions designed to comfortably accommodate slot cars in the most common club and competition scales.
• Material: rigid transparent plastic that allows for quick identification of contents at a glance without the need to open the box.
• Press-fit closure that prevents accidental openings during transport in a case or bag.
• Regular geometry that facilitates stable stacking both on shelves and on the workbench.

What can you store inside?

The dimensions make this box suitable for multiple uses within the hobby:

• Assembled slot cars ready to race, protecting the bodywork and aerodynamic elements.
• Independent chassis with their drivetrain mounted (motor, axles, tyres).
• Painted and decorated bodyshells that should not rub against each other or accumulate dust.
• Sets of mechanical spare parts: guides, braids, tyres, crowns, pinions, or spare axles organised for a specific session.

Storage and transport: two problems solved at once

In the workshop, the transparency of the material turns each box into its own label: there is no need to write or label anything to know what is inside. Stacked on a shelf, they keep the space tidy and the models safe from dust and moisture in the environment. On the road, the press-fit closure ensures that the lid does not give way even if the box is overturned inside a case.

It is also a very practical option for collectors who want to archive decorated bodyshells cleanly, without the paintwork — whether with Vallejo, Kaleido, or Tamiya — suffering from scratches or accumulating dirt between sessions.

Ideal for…

• Club racers who regularly visit the track and need to transport several cars safely.
• Competitors who store specific setups for different track configurations.
• Enthusiasts who want to keep their workshop tidy without investing in bulky solutions.
• Collectors who wish to protect painted bodyshells or models in the decoration process.

Frequently asked questions

Do 1/32 scale slot cars fit inside?

In most cases, yes. The internal dimensions are slightly smaller than the external 16.5 × 7.5 cm, so it is advisable to check the dimensions of the specific model before purchasing the box, especially for cars with wings or particularly wide bodyshells.

Does the lid close securely during transport?

Yes. The closure is press-fit and is designed not to open accidentally even if the box is inverted inside a case or bag.

Can multiple boxes be stacked?

Yes. The regular geometry of the box allows for stable stacking both on shelves and on flat surfaces, without the risk of slipping.

Is it suitable for storing loose spare parts as well as assembled cars?

Perfectly. Many users use it to organise sets of braids, guides, tyres, or spare crowns that they want to have ready for a session without mixing them with other sets.

Does the transparent plastic yellow over time?

Ministry of Hobby does not specify the exact type of polymer used. To prolong the life of the material, it is recommended to avoid direct and prolonged exposure to intense sunlight.

The Ministry of Hobby transparent plastic storage box (16.5 × 7.5 × 4.5 cm) is the go-to solution for slot car collectors and club racers looking to safely store and transport scale cars, separate chassis, decorated bodyshells and mechanical spare parts. Its rigid press-fit lid prevents accidental openings, while its stackable form factor keeps your workbench and shelving neatly organised. A compact, practical and reliable storage accessory for any slot car enthusiast.
