    Extreme Mobile Pit Cart

    I'm new to RC boats over the last 2 years. One of my biggest challenges is how to deal with all the pieces, boats, tool boxes, parts, batteries, equipment etc. So I took this summer off from going to the races and tackled a huge project. A friend of mine gave me an enclosed trailer. Instead of building a work bench inside the trailer, I built a mobile workbench that rolls out of the trailer. It is powered by a 2500lb wench. It has onboard electric jacks to raise it up, the wheels are removed and then you level it. Webber grill, Keurig coffee maker, 110 power outlets, stereo, full size SS toolbox, Locking boat cabinet. Pick-up boat sits on top. It does everything but scratch your behind. It works amazing. I thought you guys would get a kick out of my new creation.

      nice job! that should work just fine. cooking even makes the days a lot better---don't have to run all over town looking for food. that's a great idea.

                The onboard gas grill was at the top of the list. I hate going to the pond, 30 minutes from town, and not eating well. Nothing like a hot fresh meal. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

                    You have certainly taken "pit cart" to the next level.

                    Well done sir!

                      I think I might need to rethink my commitment to this hobby...

                        Darin, Everything is in one place and in the Cart. No more wondering where I placed this or that. Now I can go to Fred's house, unload the cart, roll it into his garage, and have a building weekend. Or go anywhere and everything is there. Been a huge project and missed this summers racing action in region 9. Looking forward to testing this winter and running for club points in 2015. None of this would have happened if it were not for the raving support of my wife Kerry. She is happy I'm no longer racing big boats or 100mph shifter karts. I'm focused on the RC boats for many years to come.
