i need to figure something out to display/store them. i did have an entire room filled with it all, and the buggies/trucks just sitting on the carpet, but since the gf moved in i have them all in big underbed containers stacked to the ceiling in my hobby room.

i think about selling them every now and then, but i know i would regret it. i managed to collect most the stuff before the rc10 scene blew up and prices went thru the roof.

heres an old pic from 2006, i have around double the amount now of rollers/runners. i got gobs of project cars or cars waiting to be restored or junked. then there is all the nip stuff.



you will notice there are no gold tubs... i was more into the aftermarket scene than the stocker stuff, although i have a few nib gold and graphite kits along with a bunch of old crusty used gold pans.

i have some pics on my cell phone that i took right before i moved all the stuff out of my room that i will upload when i get a sec. its hard to get a scale of the vintage stuff i got from pics, but its a ton.

for variety i got the crawler stuff. i dont have nearly the amount of it as the buggies, but i got alot.

and btw its not hoarding... its just too much stuff and not enough boxes or shelves.

I think you're right... technically, you will need to stack them in every room until you have to follow established trails to the bathroom and there must be at least 5 dead animals under all of it.

Anybody ever watch that show? Scary stuff!

Work? That sounds a lot like work. Can't it wait until its 50 degrees outside.

Sure

I would rather start planning.

I can make a bridge to just dump of of there.

[johnnyh66]

What needs to be done?

I think we should meet up and bring the scalers and the Slash's and see how it goes.

I liked that nasty steep hill... my mini revo couldn't make it up and Zero's RC8 took several attempts.
Originally, we thought it'd be easy... we were fooled because the first rig that went up was the FOFF'n Bastard and it was no problem.

im down for some slash abusing, the things look like they can take a serious beating.

Not really to much. Yes scalers

Where is the BMX spot? Does anyone go there anymore or is it abandoned?
What kind of work does it need? Pull weeds? Smooth dirt? Fill holes?
