Yeah you shoud 'u'se it. First choose "ride minecart toward something" option, then just push it to accelerate - you can push it while riding inside. Best do it from ambush, because enemies might move out of the way if they notice you, and your ability to maneuver is quite weak at higher speeds. After riding down an enemy, push minecart the opposite direction to decelerate - that's the hardest part

No wait, I think the best misc item for a weapon would be a fluffy wambler titan corpse, assuming you manage to kill such a monster.

They're great weapons due to extreme weight, but due to this very weight they slow you down several times.

So you'd need to be LEGENDARY in misc object use for this to be effective?

That requires a check, strictly speaking.
But most likely, that won't help. Weapon skill do not seem to offset encumbrance by heavy weapons.

well it surely helps, but consider yourself hitting things with a railroad car and then, I dunno, Chuck Norris hitting things with a railroad car. Sure he'll be a bit faster.

You could always try lighter objects to slow you down less. That thread I quoted earlier has a lot of unique weapon ideas, like using a rattlesnake's fang like a dagger, for example.

In my experience I've found that a tastefully arranged barn owl corpse can be quite effective at "shattering the skull and tearing the brain" of other wild animals.  Not sure how it'd work on armored targets, I think I died before I really got to test it out.

Considering I'm playing as a modded bronze colossus, it may as well be chuck norris hitting things with a railroad car...
