I kept everything in the box, and it closes perfectly.

I stack the boards like this. I keep the player tokens in separate bags, along with the ore and rubies.

All the cardboard bits go into a single Plano 2-3600-01 Stowaway.

All the wooden bits go into a single Plano 2-3601-00 Thin Stowaway.

It all stacks into the box just fine.

Nothing jostles, the manuals fit right on top. The lid closes tight. Everything is tight, so there's no danger of stuff shaking and breaking.
Here is a purchase link for the 3600.

Here is a link to the 3601.

Also, buy something like this and some labels. You'll be thankful when you have jags and brushes for multiple calibers.
I'd also recommend a Plano 3600 box, it fits all the pieces perfectly

These 2 did the trick for me. I'm sure if you're in the U.S. you can get them a lot cheaper. Put all the cardboard tiles in the thicker one, wooden in the thin one. I just needed to keep the rubies, ore and individual player tokens in baggies and it's proven to be a lot more convenient to use the plano boxes as the supply next to our boards. Box closes all the way when stored.

Here is a link to order it.
I found a shallow one off of Amazon. Also found the black plastic tray I've heard mentioned, but the shipping on that thing is non-trivial to make it worthwhile. Looks just about perfect for the ship upgrades though.
I'm thinking one of those plastic boxes might be good enough for now. Surely it'd be better than throwing a bunch of these tiles in plastic bags.
For small parts I use these, which are inexpensive and very practical thanks to the movable dividers. I use them for everything form small tools to my daughter's Lego.

The Akro-Mills box is pretty good, and I haven't found better for a reasonable price. You could also use stackable plastic shoeboxes (Sterlite et al) or stackable bins like these:
https://akro-mils.com/Products/Types/Plastic-Storage-Containers/AkroBins
For cables, the best option is to simply bag them in heat-sealable poly bags. That stops them from tangling together, and you can toss them in a plastic bin (Rubbermaid roughneck or equivalent).
I have all my dice, pencils, Post-It flags, and minis in a Plano 3600. It's perfect. Also has the added benefit of being tough as shit so my 13 month old son can shake it and throw it around without it exploding all over the place.
People suggest using Plano Boxes and A4 plastic boxes
This redditor compacted his whole collection into these cases and stashed the bulky air boxes
Not sure the quantities you have but if just a few of each a big tackle box like this is nice:

Links to materials:
About the container:
Using a fishing stowaway tackle box and some foam, it's really easy to make a neat little container to hold all your TTRPG stuff. You can stack more or less layers of foam inside divisions to make it easier to reach (the potions have 3 layers) or to make more room for bigger things (the d20s only have 1 layer). Half-divisions hold standard 1-inch base miniatures perfectly (the fairy lady is a metal mini printed off Hero Forge).
The tackle box used is one of the larger sizes Plano has to offer, but if you don't have as much stuff to stash, the Plano Prolatch 3600 or the Plano Prolatch 3500 are smaller options that also work great. These sizes are better for players who want a case like this or DMs with nothing else but a couple dice sets and some minis.
Keep in mind that there will be a lot of foam left over. The 2-3700 only required two or three sheets of foam to triple-stack the entire container, and I got myself a 10-pack. If you need to get rid of the extra foam, getting a couple 3500's for your players is a nice gift, considering they only run about $4 each. I got a four-pack of the 2-3700's since most of my players also DM, so hopefully that uses up the rest of the 10-pack of foam.
I use a whole lot of plastic organizers kinda like this of varying sizes for small parts.
Larger quantities of parts sit around in the shipping material they came in, and tools live in 3 or 4 toolboxes.
Works quite well for me and is mostly compact.

That Plano is 30$ on amazon but it fits so much better than mine!
This is mine. I may cut away some of the non-removable dividers to get more space for zombies and survivors like you have!

As for a charger and Lipo battery;
I have a Duratrax Onyx charger. Not sure of the exact model. There are better more expensive ones, but this one gets the job done.
I just ordered batteries from here http://spcracingbatteries.com/
Only ran them once, but I've heard plenty of good things about them.
I'm sure some others will chime in and give you some advice. Good luck and have fun with your new rc car!
I use these for ship dials: http://amzn.com/B002ZUI8PM They fit perfectly though I don't think the plastic dial upgrades would fit. There isn't must wiggle room.
I also have one of these in the folder section of the binder for all the other tokens: http://amzn.com/B000E39T50
edit I keep the plastic ship bases in with my battlefoam and maneuver templates in the back most folder up against the hard binder side to prevent them from getting bent.

If I remember, /u/ProdigyLightshow is a huge fan of kases so he would give some good insight. My friends who use them like them, click responsiveness is particularly good for conjuring and color changing easily so it might be directed towards a style. And for the lights shape, I switched from eDot to micromax recently (long story, but I don't usually use eDots :P) and it still felt weird and bulky. So it might just be an adjustment thing. If not, grab some micromax as well. All cases are pretty cheap anyways.
With your storing problem, you might want to invest in a box such as a fishing box or small storage box with separate containers. This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E39T50/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Essentially, it'll help keep your collection organized as well as helping store lights so they don't get pressed on or anything. I've also heard keeping gloves in hard shell eye glass cases work well too.
two of these were great for me for organizing everything in the core game + twin shadows + wave 1 ally/villain pack figures all into the core game box. All the figures went in 1 plano box, all tokens and small cards fit in the 2nd plano box. larger cards I divided into labeled baggies that fit them. Most map tiles also fit into ziploc bags which I labeled and divided by map tile number, 0-10, 11-19, 20-29 and 30-39. Only the AT-STs, round/threat dial, and the very largest map tiles are put into the box unorganized (if I hypothetically had larger ziploc bags then I could have all map tiles organized and stored), though they're pretty snug in there surrounded by everything else.
After I got Return to Hoth I added all I could to my first two plano boxes but still had to use a 3rd small plano box to fit additional figures. I keep this box and hoth specific map tiles in the hoth box.
I just used a $12 plastic ammo crate from amazon

and 1 set of these card display cases that fit the decks just right!

and just a simple small fishing box!

I'm using the deck boxes (now empty) as placeholders till i get some foam to keep everything from sliding around! I have 2 of the expansions but have plenty of room to fit even more!
A Crown Royal bag...I just dump the contents out and grab what I need. You dang ol kids with your new fangled deck boxxy's with compartments for dice...back in my day we used rubberbands dagnabbit!
edit: to add a viable alternative try this?
FYI, these with adjustable dividers are better when you have a lot of a particular category:

It's not very pretty but I carry a decent portion of my vape gear in a tackle box I bought from [amazon.com] (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E39T50/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
I have all my loose (well most) organized into Plano Stowaway. They are stored on shelves somewhere else.
For your drawers but not your knickers. The slots are adjustable.
Door racks so your over-door items will never be so organized!
And a table-top rotating organizer for all your rotating and organizing needs. I just really love things that rotate. Plus, this one takes advantage of vertical storage.

It's a Plano box.
You're best option is to piece together a kit. I can not stress enough how important it is to get a good set of nippers. My SS got me the gundam planet nippers and they have been a revelation. I'd also suggest some straight edge toe nail clippers and some foam nail files, as well as a storage box for everything

That 3.99 box I bought won't fit the cards without modification and there will be some dice mismatch in compartments. I have a deckbox for the cards, anyway.

But certainly the red Plano box would fit a large collection. It's overkill in my opinion.
I use a combination of these for my Zombicide seasons 1-3. I own one of everything made for the game (each retail and promo item) and got it to fit in two of the LP cases and I believe ten of the Plano cases.
I plan to do the same for Black Plague, but I need to come up with something for the extra large "boss monster" figures.
