    Default 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

    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.

    Guys this is just plain scary! Many years ago and I do mean many I had my SCCA racing license and raced a Formula Super Vee.Used to tow it behind the car with a tow bar lots of fun and great competetion. If you broke something during qualifing one of the other drivers would lend the part you needed! No questions asked! Came the day that a few fellows came in with open trailers, then enclosed trailers, race cars lettered up and our sport went to hell! We week end warriors at Watkins Glen just could not compete with the likes of Mike Andretti and AJ Unser. They cut their teeth on our fun weekend sport and drove most us of away!

    Hope that doesn't happen in this sport! But there are already some sponsored drivers! But that is a nice trailer!
    We did it with a Bang!

    I bought a larger trailer over the winter. I built some shelving in the nose of the trailer. I'm securing the boats down with those large rubber twist ties that you can buy at Home Depot. I just wanted to share the adjustable shelving because it works amazing. Sorry, I-pad does not allow me to rotate photo.
