Remote race/dune radio setup
Here's a little something that I put together for remote chasing, pitting, and duning. I rarely have the luxury of having a chase truck so we generally just throw a handheld, some parts, and a can of gas at someone with a UTV and is willing to pit for us..... Problem is handhelds suck unless you're in a line of sight with the other radio. I decided it was time to quit playing around and get a legit setup that would be reliable.... I figured I'd build a self contained box that would house most of my extra radio equipment, and have on board chargers. It would also need to have storage for the 25" antenna and cable. (Not pictured. There will be 5x5" SS upright boxes bolted to the side for antenna and tripod storage) Also included but not pictured is a custom jumper cable for a truck battery should the onboard battery die.
Walmart: $20 Stanley rolling tool box Fry's Electronics Auxiliary radio speaker Heavy duty antenna tripod Surge protector Grainger: 120 Male flush mount receiver for extension cord TMW Offroad: Odyssey deep cycle battery Battery tender PCI Race Radios: 50w Icom race radio 25" antenna and cable for pit use Truck antenna for mobile use Rugged Race Radios Handheld Headset w/ PTT Driving kit w/ PTT Roll Bar mount handheld holder MISC: Wire Weather pack Connectors Solder Heat shrink Ring terminals Brackets Sheet metal

Brian, that's a thing of beauty!!!! you should make those and market them...(sure most race guys can make them) but some of us are really lazy or just don't have the time!!!
I could really use one...but I'm afraid to ask what it'd be worth for you to build one for me since you've already sourced the parts... let me know.. so.... what you build'n to race?.... the cat out of the bag yet?
