Duo Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi getting a new car soon and it's not going down to well with the missus. Storage is a bit of a issue got my slash under my double bed .....please no puns. And my scorpion in the spare room. Got a sizeable shed with a lock and garden is secure. But it needs a clear out and some new shelves in when tidy. Only been in house a year and it's the last job on a long list Is it ok to store electric cars in the shed its watertight but more worried about cold temps and condensation .

Oh How Original Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yep, plenty of folk do. I personally like to keep mine inside because if it's 3am and I want to tinker with one I don't have to brave the freezing cold lol. I just have a couple of shelves up and whichever one I plan on using next sits on my workbench ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turok007 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 forgot to ad the nitros lol they were inside a big plastic storage thing in the garden all 14 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 If you find a solution please tell me because, they are everywhere. Three are under the desk next to me. One is under the table opposite, one is on the table and the Revo is sitting next to the table resting on its front wheels and bumper... Two are in the bedroom, one's in the garage, one's on the kitchen table being built (don't ask how well that's going down...) The boats are on a chest of drawers and on top of the wardrobe... Um... it's chaos in here and I'm for it, basically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) the only time i really got nagged was the submarine issues. i was using the bath to test them but i never got round to taking them to the local lake. or the time i was testing RC double outboards on the kitchen floor in a baby bath. lol within 1 second the bath was empty. or the time i set a ramp up in the front room and was jumping the 1/16th revo out of the window. also the time i was using the front room as a crawling course for the 1/10th summit.

Alex97 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 My car area is in the office, the only rule's are to keep it clean and keep my things to my desk. Seeing that I only have one car ATM it isn't to hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be bad. My conservatory isn't heated, and is getting on a bit, hence from about late Nov to late Feb it's kept closed and the dehumdifier running 24/7 - tbh I'm dreading the weather turning warmer as it will mean a: I'll have to work in there and b: I'll have to keep it tidy for everyone else!

Thunderwolf Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 used to be that all my electric cars stayed in my room, and the 2 petrol cars stayed in the shed. since moving lot alot changed, all my leccy cars are still in my room, 3 of them on a shelf next to me, one on a unit on the other side of me, the baja flux is now sitting on top of a wardrobe. my 2 petrol cars now have a home in my mum's garage across town so i don't use them as much as i used to.

Tamiyacowboy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Add a heater and power to the shed, a small tv and a single bed, move the wife there now theres lots of room for all the man gadgets you ever need in rc. the downstairs loo becomes the spraybooth, the uno suite that becomes the clean room with pressure washer installed. kitchen is a good place for the science lab, ie anodizing -eletro plating and lexan forming. the living room, bed in there with tv and interwebz jobs a goodun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
