Where do you store your RC cars/stuff??

[Racing t]

The other day my mom was complaining to me that I have my room and backyard full of my rc stuff, and I only own 4 rc cars and 2 are micros!! I have an LST, T-maxx, Mini Lst and a mini-t, So I was thinking, what do the guys at the furom that own like 10+ car or so do? where do you store them? post pics if you can, I´ll be posting mine´s when I have my camera back. :)

[josh222]

i have a savage and rs4 3 and istore then in my room or in workshop

[evaderstman]

I store mine in my workshop inside my garage.

[astainback]

I prefer shelves. At first... all I had was a table. Then my collection grew, and changed, and grew...

[zakerid]

[Legend_Car]

I have A shelf just like astainback only its bigger. I also have a table with a big piece of that pressed together wood that is under your carpet in your house. If I get grease on it o well. I also have one of those white foldup tables and lights that i got at staples. Nice General Lee body astainback

[kawasakirider]

i keep my buggy on my bookshelf in my room with all the fuel and spares next to it i need a better set up though im planning on doing up my buggy so ill be buying lots of stuff

[Legend_Car]

I wish i had that peg board set up. Im sure i could mount up something. Can you get pegboard at a hardware store. Im sure you can

[More Juice]

ur work stations and storage all look good. good job. You guys should think about getting a Vantage ProMat. I have one in my lil work area and I love it.

[evaderstman]

I wanted one, but couldn't find one anywhere do you have a link? Also what are the dimensions of it.

[Breakin2]

I have a home office that has a huge closet with shelves. All my things go in there. The wife insists.

[sinister]

locked in the garage

[Racing t]

cool work stations guys, I wish I had a place on my house for specific RC use. Well.. meaby in the future... Another problem that i had is that when my collection grew.. It keeps getting harder and harder to keep al my rc`s in ready to run condition. Now my favorite is the LST so all my money go to it.

[Krasi_5000]

i have a table in my basement which has my ntc3 + tools, on the bottom shelf of that table my starter box, starter box battery, voltmeter and electrical plug...I have a shelf beside that with 3 bodies on the top shelf, 2 old engines, old foams/rubber tires, my partsbox with all kinds of goodies and my glow starter, starter box battery and RX pack chargers and a gallon of nitro. And under that i got boxes of parts i have bought and boxes of old engines and servo boxes and stuff, a binder with manuals, stickers and papers that i've accumulated.

[MrCrash]

This spring, my closet is getting gutted, and I am putting in a wooden table, a couple drawers, a shelf, and some pegboard, along with a light and a powerstrip.

It'll sure beat a folding chair and my floor as my storage space :p

[xilix]

I keep mine on a shelf. I carry my RC18T, battery charger, radio (yes, it fits) and tools in a case that used to be a Sony camcorders' home. It's a perfect fit.

My cars stay in my room. I live in an apartment. When I get a house or larger apartment, the rc workspace will expand :).

[t9dragon]

Here's mine. I keep them on selves next to the stairway going in to my bedroom. Then I have a work table in the my bedroom where I can work on them. I'm glad the wife doesn't mind them being in the bedroom. :D

[t9dragon]

Hey sinister,

Is that a HPI Nitro Mini on the top shelf with the Red Honda body?

[Racing t]

well guys.. at least I dont have a wife telling me to clean-up but I have my mom! Im 17, nice collection t9 dragon.

[pcnutz]

I get the big Sterilite 106 quart tubs for my monster trucks , and the 55 quart tubs for my 10/th scale trucks, toss all the extra parts with each truck in the tub and stack them, they are clear so you can select a tub and take it to the track they ar 7-9$ at biglots and 10-11 at walmart

[racer34v]

[astainback]

dr isotope...

Nice shop!!!

I wish I had a more garage/workroom setup. My setup used to be or is supposed to by a dining room. Being a bachelor does have some advantages..

[tadium54]

heres mine right now. oridinarily, theres alot more stuff, but were moving and as a result, i had to break my workshop down alot

[tadium54]

[tadium54]

i used to have a sony radio down there. then my brother took it. i got an rca one that had a digital display. he also took it and used my sony one for his hockey pump up time. i just got a pair of speakers and now i run it with my minidisc player. seems to work pretty well with all the sonngs i have lol

What reptiles do you have?

[Racing t]

hahaha cool way to keep your mom out Saboteur.

[tadium54]

yea id like to know what reptiles you have. im interested in snakes and lizards. any pics?

[Saboteur]

I have a leopard gecko and a turantula. Had some firebelly toads but I gave them away. Kinda boring guys. I wan't a bearded dragon but spending most of my check $$$ on my real car, food shopping/clothes, and few on rc stuff. Plus my gecko is in that large tank. I don't want to deprive him of that awesome spot LOL.

Sry to jack the forums, but the rest are on the pet thread somewhere.

[tadium54]

My RC space is horrible. It's just a uhh....hmm...20" space between a stand and my reptile tank. Horrible indeed. It gets the job done though. :) I can get more space if I turn the turantula tank sideways, but it doesn't look great that way.

[Saboteur]

This is about half of what my RC station looks like. :) I'll get a full shot later on...after I got to bed- it's 3:14am.
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b179/VTECHSaboteur/DSCN3124.jpg

[tadium54]

sab- nice. how are they behaviour wise?

[Saboteur]

Turantula doesn't really get use to handling. She flinches if you blow on her, sprinkle water, or surprise her. So far she never tried to attack me or go in defence mode. Another reason why I got her. My leopard is really peaceful. He doesn't seem to mind being picked up. BRB gonna edit my rc work space pics.

[tadium54]

still have the fangs then? docile at all?

[shadowghost1]

Guys PM each other please.

[Le2005]

I dont have my own place to set my truck to look nice if I leave it outside a cat might " mark its territorry " on it , so I just work on it in the garage or inside then just drop it off by my bed .

[Racing t]

o yeah I know what are you talking about Le2005, once I forgot to pick up my t-maxx from the floor and my dog pee on it without body!! I was so piss, lol!

[Jeckler]

Sounds to me like this turned into a "Where do you work on your RC's?", so....

http://www.madebyjenn.com/andy/rc/shop.jpg

When they're not being wrenched on, all of them reside on top of the entertainment center in the living room.

[Racing t]

cool workspace, Have any of you had had similar problems with your pets ruining your R/C stuff?

[Toyotatogo]

I store everything in my room now .... yep nitro fuel and all ....

Yes, I know it's a bad idea, but I hate walking up from the basement bringing back stuff I need, and besides it's dark down there you know ... :confused:

[rocknbil]

LOL! Toyota, are you skeert of the dark? :D :D

OK I'm in a pic-posting' mood.

View of RC closet from inside corner . . . .

[rocknbil]

From door of closet . . . .

[rocknbil]

Tire drawer. Most 80-100%.

[rocknbil]

ESC's, spare TX batt's, odds n ends

[rocknbil]

TX and chassis graveyard, RIP?

[rocknbil]

Motor City. Note the two ORIGINAL Green Machine 2's, circa /95 or so, still NIP.

[rocknbil]

Work area left, used for other stuff too.

[rocknbil]

Wok area center, where the dirty work gets done.

[rocknbil]

Work area right. Right above my head in this shot is a roll-down visqueen curtain I drop when I do painting so I don't gas out the rest of the house, behind me are two networked computers with dual monitors for the "other" use of this room.

[racer34v]

roknbil- did you get that dualsport chassis with all the holes in it from ebay?

[rocknbil]

LOL . . .no. That was my very **first** RC10T and the results of a weight-reducing expirament. Combined with everythng else I trimmed off I was able to slim the 10T down a full 12 ounces from what it was. It was, of course, a total waste of time. Ahh the newbie days. :D

[MrCrash]

I like the "Losi Rules!" written on the "odds & Ends" drawer :p

[racer34v]

ahh ok.... i was wondering because i did the same to a rc10ds chassis that i just recently sold on ebay, for the same reason, and with the same result, it looked JUST like that.....!

everyone was noob at one time... lol
alan

[rocknbil]

I like the "Losi Rules!" written on the "odds & Ends" drawer :p

Note the "Losi comments here -> �" on the next drawer down. Mark and I used to have a bit of a rivalry going on, that is the RC grafitti dresser. It all ended one day when he insisted in a challenge in the STREET in front of his house. He tried to pass me waaaaay outside and packed his XX under the tire of a parked car. Both shock towers, snapped chassis (stiffazel my ass) and his Losi's RIP'ed henceforth. :D

[Toyotatogo]

Rock basically has his own private hobbyshop :D

Geezus 220 cans of paint ... :p

[GT Freak]

well, ive downsized my area.went from this:

[GT Freak]

to this like the smaller work area better, less is more i think!

[evaderstman]

Rockinbill actually does have more rc parts than my lhs. Anyway that is a sweet shop, and you could make a killing on ebay.

[Racing t]

yeah, I also have a lot of stuff that I dont use anymore, but the half dosent work, lol

[rocknbil]

Rockinbill actually does have more rc parts than my lhs....

Only if you're looking for AE truck or GT parts, that's all that's there, really. In the pic with the paints, the 3 drawers to the right are all GT parts in plastic containers.

All this stuff has just collected over the years, most of it wouldn't sell for much on ebay, it would be more trouble than it's worth. I will probably be getting rid of a lot of the crapola stuff, I'm sure no one wants it, but the AE stuff stays.

[Tim'sLosi]

Here is my area, a corner of my garage. Once I get the basement done I will have a 12 X 12 foot workshop/office area. And no...it is not normally this neat!

[rocknbil]

Holy crap! :D Look at all the transmitters lined up on the right, they're like little soldiers at attention ready to go to war hehehe . . . .

[apollo]

wow, very nice amount of uh......everything, i think i count 10 tx's, and 30 spare tires, dude how much have u spent? over how long? sry if im sounding like a noob but wow, thats a lot of stuff

Were we separated at birth? LOL. I am on a 17" G4 powerbook in my RC room with an identical room and ceiling, but haven't put the countertops and shelves in yet. Even the fluorescent lights are in the same spot. :cool:

Thanks...this pic is actually about a year old. Transmitters are about the same count but tires :rolleyes: And the # of vehicles has topped at 25 so far. My best are two Revos and two 4.6 Savages. I really want to sell down some of the others but it's hard to say what should go. It's an addiction...

I've been in this for about seven years and although I don't count I'm sure there's enough for a decent 1:1 scale car out there :D

This thread is about how to store stuff though and as you see in the pics a nice wide shelf from Sam's Club and a workbench from Lowe's holds most. The planes and dragster are on standards and shelving brackets. Once the workshop is done there will be more pegboard and cabinets. I covered the tops of the shelves and workbench with clear contact paper (actually plastic) to prevent the nitro goo from damaging the particle board. Of course parts are on the pegboard and in pit boxes.

[apollo]

one, whats outta place in there? laptop...why is it with ur rc stuff? i'd be afraid of spilling nitro or spraying it accidentally, u have a pretty awesome workplace too,and timslosi...i seriously love ur garage, its really awesome, and i know someone that lives close to me that would like a savage if u wunna sell it, , i just have one car so far and i store it in the bottom of a toolchest, it serves its purpose well, but not much room for much of anything else

[Merc4Stroke]

Here's my storage cabinet. It's 13 feet long. (it was not fun to hang by myself!) I broke the switch off my dust collector in the process. LOL It's made out of used 3/4" ply that my place of employment was getting rid of. Door frames are pine with plexi-glass in them.

I also do quite a bit of woodworking in my shop, so each vehicle is sealed in it's own box, behind glass. There is weather stripping around the edges of each door, to help keep the dust out.

Thats awesome!! Looks like an RC museum or something....

[jwaj2002]

I'm going to try and get a 20' camper to use for storing my RC stuff, I've got about 20+ cars (not counting the x mods(toys)) and I'm going to use it for my audio business

[WhoKnowsWho]

Love that Monster Beetle!

I found a shoe rack works well for a lot of the vehicles. But some still sit on shelves. And the other stuff like parts and radios, well, haven't figured anything out yet.
