Hello everyone,

I am looking to built a storage cart similar to the below pic for my revo 11

I know these karts have been discussed previously but I am unsure around pros and cons of storing the revo upside down on on wood or using pvc pipe and storing it right side up as per the below pic.

What are people thoughts on how easy it is to load/unload being upside down or right side up?

I am somewhat concerned around using pvc piping and hull warp but it looks as though plenty of people have done it, has anybody used pvc piping on a revo? What width pipe was used? Is is best to allow for pipe flex?

thanks!

We recommend kayaks be stored long term upside down to prevent hull distortion, especially in hot weather.
