[savageP3]

nice gun. my workbench is my bedroom floor

[Krasi_5000]

i will get pics of mine later but does anyone mind telling me how to attack my bodies to the wall??? I tried nails but the body's are angaled (sp? lol) and then keep sliding off, so then i got tired of my precous bod's falling every 2 sec.

[Combatcm]

I'm just throwing something out there, but stick dowels in the wall and hang the body with its body post holes.

[guver]

I'd be ashamed to post pic of my bench ... It's very "busy"

[lerningdriver]

ummm.. ok, I'll post a pic, but, BILL.. DONT' MESS WITH IT!!! lmao.. I still remember :p

That's not all of it, but it gives an idea :)
I have another table with the top just about as bad, but it's all older unused junk, plus my little shelf upstairs with stuff on it, then the other corner of this room with the boats and quarter scale. It's pretty sad really, lol.

[ToxicSoup]

^^ now that's messy! do you even know where things are in that pile?

[Revival]

nice gun. my workbench is my bedroom floor


Second the bedroom floor.......:D...in fact its anywhere that I can lay out my tools and strip the car in peace......If I had a work bench like that, then my wifey will be able to track the number of chassis I have......and THAT IS NOT GOOD......:D

[Desolas]

rccardude, omg...you should change your nick to Pig Pen. Nice setup. :)

[Mastec]

I'm sure no one will be able to recognice (sp?) any of the two cars in the pic though...

(w/o cheating that is :P)

[KTRTS]

The one on the right the Yokomo 4wd buggy? (name escapes me :o )

[DCLXVI]

Nope, rally car...Kyosho, PureTen... :D

[KTRTS]

[lerningdriver]

[losiguy1090]

i have a pic. but its posted in nitro forum under "new pics!" so i cant post it again. but most of u have seen it.

[DCLXVI]

Na, ThunderTiger DT-10... :D (if it had been assebled it would have been easier since it has the engine mounted lenthwise)...

[DirtRacinFool]

Here's mine now, but in a couple months i'll have a bigger bench set up in the garage of my new house. :D

[rccardude04]

No, I have absoutely no idea where anything is on there. Someone said I have a clodbuster on it but I still can't find that ...
-Eric

[GramdeGixxer]

I try to keep mine pretty clean but sometimes it just doesnt happen. I need to clean it up tonight though cause my mtx-3 kit should be in tomorrow.

[rccardude04]

Yeah, I tried to keep it clean for quite a while and had pretty good luck. Then stuff started piling up and I have no idea where it all comes from, nor do I have any idea where I'll put it. I'm sure I'll figure something out when it comes time to clean up down here, lol.
-Eric

[trw]

ok lol...this'll be somewhat fun lol....

heres my main work area....

[trw]

heres the shelf across the room from my work area....

[rccardude04]

I think there should be a competition for the messiest workspace and you're not allowed to mess it up just for the contest. lol.
-Eric

[trw]

and heres the shelf right next to my work area....

and this is hard for me to admit, but mmmm...errrrmm lol,...those Beanie Babies yall see on the shelf in the first and last pic well...i used to collect those when i was younger and dumber lol, they haunt me now so im like very anxious to get rid of em for more money for my cars lol

[losiguy1090]

nice lookin workbenches guys. but of course, not as nice as mine :D haha jk

[lerningdriver]

lol, I can barely even see your workbench in that tiny pic

[losiguy1090]

i couldnt make it any bigger or i couldnt post it.

[GramdeGixxer]

You dont even want to see mine right now. I just got my mtx3 kit yesterday and it is about half together and the other half is all over the bench and on the ground next to the bench

[lerningdriver]

i couldnt make it any bigger or i couldnt post it.

go to www.photobucket.com and host your images, then just link to em up here.

[Sparkey_STi]

id post a pic of my work bench but id take a few years and all the 56k guys would kill me. My dinning room table is for my TC3, my room has my MRS4 and parts, the garage is just jam packed with junk, i even have screw drivers and what not in the bathroom from a "before raceday rush"

[crxracing]

thats my mess

[AceCoolie]

^^^ wow dude, aside from the mest up pics, looks great!.. what's that on the table? looks like 1/5 scale?

Yeah, 1/5th scale FG EVO. I'm makeing some custom adjustable roll bars for the front. The pics aren't really messed up, I took them with my 10.5 mm Nikkor Fisheye lens because it has 180 degrees field of view. I could have de-fished them in Photoshop but I didn't really feel like it :D .

[lerningdriver]

nice, how much did it cost? (the 1/5 scale)

so you mill your own parts out of aluminum with that thing in the last pic?

[AceCoolie]

I've got around $4k in the car. The last picture is a Lathe that's about 50 years old. It was my grandfathers. I can turn lots of different metals on it. Right now I'm making hingepins out of steel.

[guver]

I was going to post, but can't figure out how, I clkick manage attachments and nothing happens, probly my stupid computer again....

[rcguy2477]

May i ask what everybody does with the hammers at thier work benches?

[guver]

Nice TV is that what that is?

[guver]

May i ask what everybody does with the hammers at thier work benches?

I use mine to remove body clips and adjust toe-in and camber.

[losiguy1090]

workbench

looks more like a shoe bench :p

rcguy, for most guys its prolly not for their rc's. its prollly for projects around the house or anything involving pounding in nails. or just pounding the sh** out of their cars when they get mad at it :D

[rcguy2477]

I use mine to remove body clips and adjust toe-in and camber.
Those must be some pita body clips to require a hammer. And also, there are turnbuckles that adjust the camber and toe :D jk.

[potatoe_bird]

I use mine to remove body clips and adjust toe-in and camber

LOL :D

*looks at hammer, then tmaxx* :p

I want to build a workbench in my garage. I already know how I want to do it, it's going to be really nice. But, I have to haul off the 2 bundles of brick first. That's going to take all day. And I don't know where to take them.

[DCLXVI]

May i ask what everybody does with the hammers at thier work benches?

I use mine to mod bodies to be more aerodynamic... :D

Nah...I usually use it when I make skid plates (I've done two so far so "usually" perhaps are somewhat untrue)...

[save1992]

i had to get all the gym shoes out the house the 1/8 car is a tamiya tgx the 1/10 is a ntc3 the truck is a duratrax st pro YOU CAN ALWAYS USE A HAMMER FOR SOMETHING

[save1992]

Yes Its A Tv

[lerningdriver]

take the bricks to your backyard where you can make a "rockcraling" track.. or more like a race track with obstecules (sp?).

[potatoe_bird]

I'm not trying to break my cars. ;) lol

I would rather not have them in my backyard. My dog loves my backyard the way it is, lots of room for her to run. I think I'm just going to carry them into a local construction site. lol

[guver]

Oh them turnbukle thingy's I can't seem to bend them shorter without a hammer.

[NitroBoy24]

First off all, AceCoolie I have work shop envy!! Your workshop is sweet!!

And second of all, I will try and get some pics of my workbench tomorrow. We just got cabinets through out our garage so one of them in the corner is pretty much full of all my rc stuff. And since in AZ it's too friggin hot to drive nitro rc's my workbench that hasnt been used by me in a few months is covered in my dads stuff but Ill take a pic of it anyways. It was a TON cleaner then it is now.

Oh yeah and TRW, I feel your pain. I have a ton of beenie babies from back when I was young and collected them :rolleyes: That was my first lesson on what a dumb, waste of money somethings can be. And of course it wasnt my last one either :D

[losiguy1090]

i have a ton of beanie babies in my closet too. u know those lil bulls[tobasco?] used to be worth a couple hundred dollars. and i had like 5 of em. at the time i was 6 and too stupid too sell em :rolleyes:

[nitro.monster]

this is my work area!

[losiguy1090]

nice. wut kinda clutch assembly is that on ur os rg?

[lerningdriver]

jus a quik question, is that a homemade chassis on the maxx?

[losiguy1090]

looks like it. look at the position of the tank and the reciever.

[nitro.monster]

yes it's a homemade chassi on my maxx

it's an ofna 3 shoe clutch (hyper 7)

[mckeller]

bump

[AceCoolie]

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've got a new addition to the work shop but no pictures yet...A CNC Milling machine. I can't wait to start designing some custom parts!

[SceneSplitter]

Funny that this thread should come up.....I just got P.O'd the other night cause I lost a part on my bench and decided to give it a cleaning heres a before the clean up shot...............
Amazing I didnt lose the truck in the mess!!!LOL :D

[SceneSplitter]

And heres an "After the clean up" shot. Amazing the stuff you might find when you clean up a little.LOL


p.s. Dont mind the 2 dead brown soldiers in the corner....They died peacefully 20 minutes before the picture.LOL

[Ken448]

May i ask what everybody does with the hammers at thier work benches?


Make stuff fit.... better!

[microrcdude]

WOW! ace, nice shop!

[MdRC]

:cool:

[Desolas]

Well I guess I will join in ... Here is mine.

http://home.comcast.net/~desolas/images/shop_pic.jpg

RC'ing while an adult is much cooler, you can devote your whole garage to it. :)

MdRC, you should suppliment that spotlight with a couple shop lights. Its easier on the eye and you can find them for <$10 per fixture with 3 prong cords.

[MdRC]

yeah there are other lights on also but thats something i had lying around.

[microrcdude]

my shop coming soon!
