I also just bought a Bull & the standard legs/casters are quite stable & it is easily maneuverable on my Trex deck. It is my understanding that the competition cart is for those who plan to move their grill a lot, particularly on softer surfaces.I ordered my 700 last week and have been doing more reading on this forum and wherever else I can find. I'm needing to decide ASAP if I need a competition cart so I can add it to my order before shipping.
Or are there any other good options (cabinets, stands. carts) to consider outside of the comp cart?
I will be putting the bull on my back patio where it will live and wont be moving it much. But I dont want to worry about it tipping over either. Does the cop cart have storage underneath?
Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that I cant do this mod to my "new" 700I just did the wheel mod when I got mine and made my back axle wider to account for the weight of a full hopper. Best thing about it for me is the increased working height.

You'll notice his photo shows the old straight legs. The current design has the legs angled for a wider stance and the fixed wheels are mounted differently which makes a change more complicated.Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that I cant do this mod to my "new" 700
It's more complicated, but it can be done....easy if you have access to a welder!Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that I cant do this mod to my "new" 700
You will always have this problem on any cheap caster when you overweight it. I have never seen this problem if you stay within rated weight but when you severely overload it, happens overtime every time. My bull i have no issues with but only store utensils and other lightweight items. My racks in my garage on the other hand, rated for well over 1k pounds are stuffed with just a bit more. I had to put wood blocks under the corners or they were doomed to fall over from bent casters.Here's what a broken swivel caster looks like on an RT-700
40 or 60 pounds of pellets on the shelf shouldn't push them over the limit. They were poor quality. Other folks ran into the same issue, and others haven't. Maybe RT had a bad batch - they also didn't have any in stock at the time for a warranty replacement.You will always have this problem on any cheap caster when you overweight it.

I bought my RT-700 in 04/2020. I have the "standard" cart. It works fine for me. I move it from my covered porch to outside all the time...and back inside once it cools off...or when I wake up from my meat-overload nap...whichever comes first. That is all on concrete. But I have taken out into the yard two times and had no issues. I figured if I do as much as possible in the 5 or 6 years of warranty I have, I'll find out how sturdy the frame and wheels are or get them replaced by ReqTec. The warranty is part of why I bought the ReqTec.I ordered my 700 last week and have been doing more reading on this forum and wherever else I can find.

It doesn't have to have "no storage"; https://www.recteqforum.com/threads/comp-cart-mods.3018/590 owner here. I moved my grill for sweeping frequently, not far, but enough that I really appreciate the sturdy casters on my comp cart. It is very disappointing that it has no storage.
