I see the R10 seems to be the most popular model. What made you get the R10 rather than the R8?

Which Rock n Roller model cart and accessories do you use?
What do you like/dislike about it?

I've been using an audio visual cart and it works perfect for my needs except for once in a while. Thinking about checking out a Rock n Roller and would appreciate your input on it.

I've used the R8 for the last several years and it works great for me. It carries my keyboard, 2 mike stands, keyboard stand, Bose compact, gig bag, and my stool no problem. If you have more that that, go with the R10, otherwise the R8 will do it.

I use an R8.....just right! no muso should be gigging without one..

I use an R10 but don't really know why. I think it was the size and width of the rear pnumatic wheels. Other than that they are very similar. http://www.rocknrollercart.com/parts.php I load an L1 Compact, an S910, a large X-seat, an X-stand and an equipment bag. I never need to extend it. Setup and tear down are fairly simple, although the pull cable is usually what everyone complains about. It was definitely a good purchase for me; everything comes and goes in one trip.

Now I remember why I chose the R10 over the R8 - I found an online hardware store that was selling them for less that the music stores were selling the R8.

I use an R-10 that I modified. It has larger wheels than the 8, which makes it roll a bit smoother over rough surfaces such as brick sidewalks. I created a special top shelf, which is nothing more than a couple strips of 1-inch box aluminum held in place with detent pins. Really works great, set up in seconds, and the top rack will hold my 215-pound butt!

Hi Scott:

I also use the R 10, I also play duo with Michael Carollo for the Casinos and some special events, and he has for now a T2(soon a T4), he also use the R10.

I have been using the R10 for years. I chose it over the R8 because of the pneumatic rear wheels like Gary said. I also bought the extra shelf, whis is very handy if you are not as innovative as Gary.

My R10, very hand piece of equipment.

Best online prices I've found so far are:

R8 $154
R10 $177

Anyone know of any better prices? Interesting but not surprising that it is a bit cheaper going to a non-music related site. No MAP price problems. Of course, if I get one I plan on going to GC and having them match the price locally.

I am kind of leaning towards the R8RT, non-flat tires. I'm thinking 8"x2" is plenty big for about anything.
