Joe, that box is HUGE! It's like a Little Tykes toy box, only black and has wheels!

I Like It.

Thanks,
I should be able to fit everything in there that (you and cemeb4dk)Mentioned
But im not sure i will have room for the hammer.

Do you really need an extension cord?

George said glow plugs twice, Rich. And frosty used to carry 20 feet of fuel line on his Revo at all times!

Joe, You never know if you are gonna be close to an open outlet....a good boy scout is always prepared.

The box is huge! U need an SUV or truck to haul it! LOL!

Looks like it fits everything you need in one convenient spot though.

I carry a 3-drawer craftman toolbox, a Wingtote bag (w/monster truck) and a support bag w/other odds & ends. If I bring multiple trucks, I bring multiple Wingtote (or Duratrax) bags with me.

Dremel
soldering iron & solder

I have one of those cold heat soldering guns. that work off of AA"s
Will also ad fuel line. dont think ineed 20 ft tho
I have a dremel also should be able to fit in there.
......................Now the question is. Will i be able to lift it in the truck

The fuel line comment was an old inside joke..sorry. I bet he wishes he'd never done this......

Yup! that's the question! Fully loaded, it won't be fun to lift!

Put a lift gate on the pickup.

Take a long time to prime that line.
But think how long it would run upside down.
....................................................................Is that roar legal?

Funny thing is.....it wouldn't run at all! The system couldn't push or pull fuel thru that much line.

Donemash:

And dont forget some Tylenol, 6 pack of your favorite brews, I Pod, and a dirty girly magazine. That'll make it complete...:p:

He was kidding about most of it but the Tylenol is a must.... It sucks to have a headache at the track when you have 100db toys flying around

Tylenol Added, Great idea. last time i was there i could have used some badly

You did see "earplugs" on my list, right?

Joe, I will not be there tonight. Let's discuss a day next week when I can head your way for a pick-up!
