Thorpey69 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Looking for ideas to display my re sandscorcher and wild willy,have got permission to display them in the living room so I can admire their beauty daily,however I want them to be displayed neatly and on some type of bracket. I'm after seeing how others display their shelf queens,so please show me your pride and joys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Two glass display cabinets, rotate the tyres weekly to avoid flat spotting, and dust as required, the benefit of a closed cabinet. Looking into making stands, simply to maximise display space available, as the shelves are fixed to accommodate other plastic stuff I display... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nitroholic Posted February 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2014 shelf what's ? I find my RCs are best displayed moving rapidly across rough ground with various degrees of control. They are dusted regularly with mud, grass and leaves, before being stored in a cupboard. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 cant fault having at least a couple of shelf queens, but as noj said, either rotate the wheels regularly or devise some kind of a stand for each one to keep the wheels off the shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigoggy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Shelf queens, don't believe in them, RC's are built to be run. Most of mine are on display in the living room, here are a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Noj Posted February 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have plenty to run, and more to display, for I am Noj, and I am addicted to materialism, when represented in a plastic form.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Haven't got any room for shelves! Wherever I can store them when not in use ... then after use, I dry, clean an keep out of the way of the baby, ready for the next time. Most are in the '3rd bedroom' aka shoebox, or office. Smaller ones are on top of shelving - MERV, 1/18 and 1/36 Raminators. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 hi guys i have manged to get my own house after being evicted on thursday so looking for something to put my cars on, Noj you got a link for the cabinet please? i know this is fairly old post but thought no point in making a thread when there is one already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Perspex coffee table / side board or something. I just put mine in the pantry slash junk cubburd who has pantrys now anyway lol. My Mrs still whines winges and digs at me tho. My next and last compromise will be storage containers in the pantry. She wants them in the shed but last year I ran an fg the next day shed door wide open. Hopefully the spiders attacked full force thats all thats in there.

Agreed,and a microfibre cloth to dust them down with - Make sure it's done in certain directions to aviod the edges of the decals lifting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DO have shelves now - this is where they live when not in use - alarmed of course! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 i dont do shelf queens except for these 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I don't do shelf queens either, but when i've finished building the Losi, it'll be on display in the front room/dining room on a stand between races. Now if i could just get round to buying and building a Tamiya lorry, then that would live in the front room because the trailer would double up as a dvd storage unit lol.

53HRA Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Like this (picture below).Only problem is i have the smallest bedroom in the house,so keeping boxes and spares go on top of my wardrobe which being empty kit boxes end up touching the ceiling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Get those tyres rotated Picked up some acrylic stands from eBay, perfect for shelving without flat spotting (CC01 aside , as I haven't cut the larger ones down ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Can always just get some axle stands or have them sat on some wheels and tyres. Mine mostly sit without any wheels and tyres at all, but then again, mine are really shelfers because they're built to be strong, not look good lol. I do however have an old CEN GX1 which isn't exactly a classic, or even nice, but hasn't been run for years and is in new condition, that's about as close as I get to a shelfer lol.

chewbacca Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Closest I've got is Frank the Tank and the recently retired Miper, although that's still in the boot of the Myfennium Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyleftthumb Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 i usually run my cars so they be displayed covered in acres of mud and crap. but i do have a few "queens" which are on shelfs with a stand under to save having to turn the tyres. athough still working on getting them in the front room.
