fish6634 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I am considering storing my x2 in my shed and was wondering how secure this looks? The glass in the shed is 10mm thick laminated backed up with Georgian wired glass. All the hinges have coach bolts through them and it has 3 locks on the door. Plus the x2 is chained down.

fletch101 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 If they want it they will get it... you just slow them down. Locks only stop the honest That's style of lock can usually be destroyed with a few well places hammer blows. The laminated steel layers usually come apart making it fall apart. And the long u swapped shank makes it sooo easy to get bolt cutters in. Something like a solid abus lock or even the ones you see on bike chains seem to serve well. Soem have armor coming up the sides a long way. And no matter how big you make the lamps on the shed. The corners tend to be weak. We had a shed that got attempted to get broken into so we put nice big metal lasps on... few weeks later they came back and pried the whole front off the shed! So you could also check yours and secure a nice thick bit of wood in corners to tie the sides of the shed on better and around doorway. Its kind of a never ending story really just pretend you've lost the keys and think... how could I get into this shed now.. you can only slow them down Good deterant are dumby cameras that can be bought cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turok007 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 so if i broke the chipboard the truck would be free. if so then it is not safe. The best way to tell if it is safe is to try and steal it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Perhaps line the inside of the entire shed with ply? Minimum thickness I'd recommend would be 12mm, that would definitely help make things harder for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedrum2010 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) I use a 16mm anchor chain on my r6, connected to a ground anchor. As already said, you can have the strongest chain. It's what it's connected to and the lock used to join it that's normally the weak point. At the end of the day though we're talking a radio controlled toy here. If the wife/girlfriend has insisted you keep it outside then refuse. Sometimes we just give in too easily.

Thedrum2010 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Or on second thoughts if you've got an attic, keep it in there. That shed door would be off in seconds and the glass is only as strong as the shed holding it in place.

But a chains is only as good as what its secured to so unless its concreted in to the ground anchor style . ....or through a steel pole/gurder type object its not much use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QRC Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Unless you are going to station a Rottweiler 24/7 at the shed, I would keep the truck inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish6634 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 it was inside the house but i was getting grief about the stench of petrol after it had been run so its been relagated to the shed, i guess another thing is people have to know its actually in there to get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were looking for a decent chain, as I was when I purchased my first sports bike I'd look towards a shipbuilder who sells proper anchor chain at real world prices. A couple of metres of decent chain would probably cost as much as your rc though, add to this a decent lock and your security is costing more than your "man toy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish6634 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 also the shed contents are insured for up to 2K so if the losi 5ive wink wink i mean x2 did get nicked i would be able to get another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a blind/cover for window when your not working in it. if they cant see in it why go to the effort of getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish6634 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Good idea buddy but the glass is also obscured so you cannot see through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCpete Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Convince the mrs to keep it in the house, the more you cover your shed in locks and chains and whatever else all you are doing is advertising that there is something of great value locked inside and will be a big incentive for them. But then if it has to stay there has to be some sort of protection.....i'd put my foot down and insist it stays in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
