karlo888 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi all, I have 3 small plastic tool boxes and one large one. They are all full at the moment and was wondering what you people use for all spare parts, etc as storage??? Wife is giving me a few dirty looks at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterjay Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 ed using 45L storage boxes now rather than all the toolboxes everywhere plus they stack ontop of each other too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-BEZ- Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I use the "really useful" box range, some of there kits also have divider trays to organise you parts also those mini parts organisers (screw / bolt) trays you can get from homebase are pretty handy too for some of my larger spares use one of those stanley "brief case" type parts boxes with the tubs inside ......... again i find them pretty handy.............. not that i have OCD much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrcallar Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I've only ever had 1/16 scale rc's so all the spare parts are small. I had a load of small fishing tackle boxes that wern't doing anything so all my spares etc go in them Will prob buy a tool box from B&Q soon to keep it all in.

Smoothybb Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I use the multi-compartment fishing trays for small stuff like screws, washers, servo parts etc. Bigger tackle boxes, the cantilever one's, for bigger parts. Anything else lives on the garage floor. Saves having to look for it. Generally the part you need is the part you've just stepped on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrorTrooper Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 i bought 5 sets of stanley toolboxes from Focus before it liquidised. (a 12" and a 12.5" in each set) i basically have a labeled toolbox for each car. makes it much easier to look for spares as it gets awkward trawling through random piles of RC bits from 5 different cars.

Homebase were doing a pack of Stanley boxes, one large one and three smaller ones for about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmst74 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I use divided organiser boxes and any parts that don't fit end up in a tool box or the cardboard box my losi came in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbadger Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I use the plastic containers that takeaway food comes in these days - put all the screws and things in to seperate bags and then keep all the boxes (labled) in a tool chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3lyc Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I don't have any spares for CRT as yet, but I had loads for CR. I have a big toolbox and I kept all spares in a smaller toolbox in bottom of my big one, and a few tubs that a chinese come in from takeaway (cleaned out obviously). I suppose it's just a case of finding a solution that works for you. Good luck. Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
