RB Products Pit Box

We showed you the second generation RB Pit Box back in February when it was first shown at the Toy Fair and it has just now been released. The ultimate tool for serious gas racers, it has a spot for a fuel gun, fuel bottle, wrenches, starter box and anything else you need to bring with you into the pit area. Thanks to its stiffer design, and its use of lightweight material it is 25% lighter than the original pit box from RB and this new version supplied with a smart looking orange bag making it really easy to carry when disassembled.
