Craig,
Yep will get around welding up a trolley eventually. Not doing much welding
at the moment.
Problem is I'm spending all my spare time working on race car version 1 (in
brothers garage). I am doing this so I can work out what to do on the next
race car after finding some of the faults/weekness in the first car. I need
more hours in the day to spend time at home in my shed to clean it up and
start welding and performing mods on racer version 2.

Trevor,
try it on gas, you will never go back to flux core! Better welds, no
spatter, less cleaning. Weld up a trolley with room for a bottle behind
the welder and it'll go everywhere.
