Pit Buddy Type appliance.
 
Went for my first nitro outing today had most of the gear and not much idea. However I did have terrible trouble carrying all my shizzle from the pit to the track. Tools, glow starter, starter box, fuel and god knows what else.

What do you guys recommend? I know of the pit buddy but are there any other options?

Any help advice would be great thank you.

Hello mush, as far as I'm aware, the "pit buddy" is the only one of its kind. Most people tend to make their own, a couple of quid for a bit of ply, carry strap is sold by the meter at b&q for pence, an old truggy wheel screwed down for the fuel bottle to sit in, and those springy tool clips from machine mart for yer glow stick/plug wrench etc.

So, nigh on £30 for a pit buddy doesn't seem all that a good idea now eh.

Hope to have been of some help :thumbsup:

If you have ever seen me using tools then £40 seems like a bargin, if I take to the tools my fingers will look like yours after a Helli session.:p

I thought RC Sure Start used to do something, but I dont seem to be able to find it now?

Just pm'ed you.

I am guessing after today at Clanfield you still want to race nitros? How did it go?

Rained off after 3rd quali only done about 12 laps all day but a learning curve, the tracks are so big I really need to take my glasses next time.

Will have another go soon and form a more educated opinion.

8th is ALOT different to 10th - it took me a while to get used to the 'smaller' stuff!

I would say come down to Slough but they got nothing going on until after the Olympics - i would say next best track for 8th would be Herts. At Herts you have the team driver on site and around to offer support with a good presence from the Kyosho, Agama, Durango and Associated camps - so always a helping about depending what you running! :thumbsup:
