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

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?
What should a pit box have. - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 12-06-2006
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.

Put a lift gate on the pickup.

But think how long it would run upside down.

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

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
What should a pit box have. - SLOW REVO - 12-07-2006
Tylenol Added, Great idea. last time i was there i could have used some badly

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