Mine are on shelves or racks though I own more RCs than what are shown in these two photos. Quite frankly, I need to get another rack or more shelves. Anyway, everyone should get the idea.





Edit: Updated the photo of the larger RCs--not shown is the ABC DTMx4. Someday I'll update the other photo too.

I have a garage converted to a spare room. I have taken over it with all my RC gear. Only problem is it is getting too small

Cars: A couple in the garage, a couple in my closet, and the others are on a shelf in my room.

Planes: Most in the garage, one in my room, and one on the bed in the guest bedroom [X(]

Those boats do get quite large. One of my friends finally either got rid of one or relocated it since the last time I was at his place, it wasn't taking up half of his garage. Perhaps, he found a dock for it. And his cart is in a trailer.

Thanks--check out MyModels for the "missing" RCs. I also have quite a few die cast too and a few slot cars as well. That's why I need another rack.

My workshop takes up 1/2 of a 3 car garage. I hang some of my planes from the ceiling, others are on shelves. The boats are also on shelves, but I'm out of shelves. Right now a significant part of my workbench space is taken up by boats, and 2 more are on the way. I need more space!!! I also appropriated an entire bedroom closet to store airplane kits and ARFs. The wife wasn't pleased when she made this discovery. Yes, I've got too much stuff!!!

Mine live on my floor. Sometimes in the garage if I'm lazy and don't want to clean them after a bashing session.

Do you have special airplane hangers or do you just use string like us?

We ran out of room on the garage celing so now I've got a PT-40 in the guest bedroom, a Shrike 400 in my room, a 3d foamy bi-plane in my closet, and 2 crashed up planes in my attic.

Yes, and yes. I have some of the Hangar 9 racks that were given to me at a fly in. Wings for planes that don't get flown as often, or that are too large to go in the car with the wing attached, go there. I also have loops connected to screw eyes in the ceiling. Since it's a high ceiling, I just put the tail in the loops and let the planes hang nose down. I can charge the planes while they are hanging. When I want to take one to the field I just take it down from the loop and put it in the car. No assembly or disassembly required.

Mine are on a table in my basement. I made a workstation there.

Do guys keep your nitro vehicles in your room? I didn't think that was safe.
