Just a simple track side slot car “pit caddy” to make it easier to carry, and access, important oils and tools at the trackside while practicing and racing. 

This first version has four 32mm holes, great for small bottles of lubricant or braid juice, or tire cleaner, as well as a large 70mm hole for a lint roller or larger bottle of some kind (or a 12oz aluminium can of something, if you're so bold). There is also a thin slot at the front for lane sticker sheets (indicated by the card in the photos).

The clips/hangers are removable, and slot into the back of the caddy from below. This allows the hanger(s) to be easily replaced or adjusted without having to re-print the entire caddy. If you race at tracks with different size walls to hang on, you might want to use a different hanger, so you can pack whichever one(s) you'll need. Print as many as you need, or stretch it out to the full length of the slot (100mm) for extra strength. 

I'm open to suggestions for improvements or changes without making it too much larger. Feel free to find me on the various slot car forums or FB groups and pm or email me. 

Honestly, this is such a simple model, that if you have a 3d printer and have not already started learning how to model your own projects, it's a great one to start with. Figure out what you want at the track, measure things, and start the process. Designing and printing your own ideas is one of the most fulfilling aspects of the 3D printing hobby.
