Where do you store your RC when not driving?

[Shinchu]

mine get stored on big peg board hooks and hang them from the rear axles. its important to keep them off thier wheels as prolonged sitting can flat spot the tire foams.
i too, have a 3 car garage and get one whole side for my bench and tools. (not the separate 3rd part, the 1:1 corvette lives there)
i have pics i just need to re-host them and remember to post them here.

as for battery storage, it never gets below 40 in my san diego garage. i have an old ammo can from the ship i "acquired" and its perfect for batteries.

If it wasn't EXTREMELY obvious that that was a joke, you'll have to re-evaluate your sense of humor.

I figured it was a joke but didn't really help me with my question.

 

[2xDeadbolt]

Thanks all for the tips and advice. I nc so garage gets down to lower 40°. I might keep the figure out a way to keep the cars in the garage and batteries in the house.

Yes most of us get the joke but unfortunately this is the newcomers page and some of them could take it as ok. On this page we should be careful of the advice we give. Just my opinion.

I agree.


I store my 2 rigs with a block under the skid that’s tall enough so there is no weight on the tires.

I store my batteries in a legit battery bag.

I place them butt to butt keeping the connectors away from each other.

I place a layer of foam over them to act as a buffer from the other batteries placed on top.

The “lipo batteries gone wrong” videos freaked me out a bit. Lol

I think I have more dangerous things in my garage than RC batteries lol (gasoline, acetylene, propane, it would be a heck of a show) But not a bad idea to be cautious.

I refuse to store my rigs indoors because that crosses some kind of imaginary line in the sand from hobby to...very serious hobby or something lol. But my garage is finished with drywall and I keep it clean...so minus an AC duct I suppose it’s pretty much inside my house lol.

As far as the storage thing I set my rigs on anything lying nearby that will get the tires off the ground but I do have a dedicated work bench for them. If I’m wrenching on one it sits in the diorama garage because nerd.

I store mine upright, on shelves, in the garage, with the wheels suspended.
Batteries are stored in a steel lock box, which is also in the garage.

Pack up the wife's side of the closet and keep your rigs and equipment in there. The problem will eventually work itself out.





(kidding of course, my stuff lives in a clean finished basement room. a restaurant style metal wire shelf can hold a lot of equipment and doesn't take much space. Same goes for those plastic, stackable shelving units.)

Best answer EVER!!! You should do couples counselling. :lmao:

I keep mine on display down in the man cave. As the saying goes..."my cave, my rules!!". ;-)

In the basement on a shelf with wheels off the shelf. My RC airplanes keep them company.

Do you suspend them from the ceiling? And, of so, can right side up, or upside down? Lol

Double gang electrical boxes make cheap vehicle stands. They can be a bit slippery against the bottom skid of your rig but a strip or two of foam tape will remedy that. And if your rig has a more than normal amount of travel they stack easy and raise you up. Couple bucks a piece is hard to beat.

Empty Coffee ground cans work surprisingly well under the centre of the rig.

I have about 10 trucks stored under the pool table. We made side curtains to hide them.

BTW: Storing lipos in the cold is OK...just need to warm them up to room temp before charging. storing at 3.8v/cell at 45˚ greatly extends their life. I store all mine indoors though. The storage charge is more important.

The only problem storing trucks in the garage is mice can eat the wiring.

Fun random fact: Toyota tried to make environment conscious wiring by using soy based wire insulation, which attracted mice to dine on. Class action suit ensued.

When it comes to storing your RC (remote control) vehicles when not driving them, there are a few options to consider. Many RC enthusiasts choose to store their vehicles in dedicated storage containers or cases, which provide protection from dust, moisture, and potential damage. Others opt for shelves or cabinets specifically designed to accommodate RC vehicles. It's important to ensure that the storage area is dry, cool, and away from direct sunlight. Properly storing your RC vehicles not only keeps them in good condition but also helps to extend their lifespan, allowing for more enjoyable driving experiences in the future.

Atleast this chat bot is on subject lol

Empty cans, or what ever. To avoid flat tire spots.

I will build wall mount soon, buy some cheap wood at construction market. DIY
Nothing special.

 

[Jjay]

this look decent, im thinking copy this idea

 

[NWCT24CRAWL]

I’m storing the two 1/24 trucks I have currently on the kitchen table . A third will be there soon , but it’s going to be my wife’s rig .

 

[King Dork]

I stopped using electrical boxes and now use yoga blocks which I believe someone on the forum suggested. I cut each block in half and get 2 stands per block for 1/10 scale rigs. Could probably cut them more and get more stands, but they’re inexpensive.

I have mine in boxes. How real is the flat spots on the tires? Running stock tires on Sxc 24

I've never had an issue with any flat-spotting of tires.. on my third set of scx24 tires incl the stock [no foam] tires. Haven't had any issues on my 1/10 scale rigs either. I would guess if the foams were wet that might make a difference on heavier rigs idk.
