| Harley's Project: Comp Cart It has finally gotten to the point where I am getting to be a lazy bastard! I have always been more of the mindset of work smarter not harder, so time to apply that to my issue of hauling so much shit around at comps! Fat Jesus, ASRcrawlers and myself travel to most local comps as a team and Bad Attitude joins when we hit the road for some of the long distance comps. So tonight I went and picked up this cart. It's just a simple cheap cart, $79 at Harbor Freight and I had a 20% off coupon. So that will be my base. Here is a list of my goals for the cart to accommodate: Cooler 3 - 4PK cases 4-6 - 2.2 sized crawlers Deep cycle battery in a battery box for charging I'll probably start drawing up my ideas tomorrow. I'm open to suggestions, although I will likely ignore them I hope to have the fabrication done within 2 weeks. |

| Re: Harley's Project: Comp Cart
I would make a shelf set up for the 4pk's so you can slide any one 4pk out at any time without disturbing the others. Wrap the rack in expanded metal and also slip a round bar down from the top through all the handles when in a stack and put a little padlock through the bar so everything remains secure while rollingmalongmand when not in sight. A stacked shelf of the 4pk's would leave a lot of surface area on the base for other items too. Maybe on the top of the shelf rack for the 4pk's create a solid surface to place your RC and do repairs. Oh ya... Just ignore my rambling... should be a sweet cart no matter what you do |

Ditch the garden wagon, get a small 3'x5' trailer to hold your gear,,,,I mean,,,,come on,,,,you need at least a 48qt cooler!! Then get you a lifted 6 person golf cart, have it skinned to match, so you can pull your trailer and crew in style!!! I mean come on,,,,,go big,,,or go home!!!

Personally I wouldn't make the cart fit into the hitch. One little bump and it'll get tweaked all to hell or you'll rip a wheel or two off of it. Just buy a rack and strap it to it, they are 1000 times stronger.

Starting to work up a few layouts in CAD. A lot of the original cart may be scrapped hopefully the new VP wheels are here by next week.

This battery is at the top of my list currently. Good capacity, good size, deep cycle, popular size. It's commonly used for golf carts. 12 Volt 35 Ah AGM Sealed Lead Acid Battery: BatteryMart.com |

Worked up the general layout. Decided to go to provisions for 4 - 4PK cases, 6 2.2 sized comp rigs, cooler and work surface. The battery will fit below the deck above the rear axle. The axles may get switched over to 4 link |
