Guess I never seen much use in a shelf queen. Even when I built my 1946 UL Harley I rode it just about daily and every one said I should put it up but I did not see the fun in that. Did the same thing with my 1942 WL Harley. I did win many a show with both.

As it's you...we'll allow girls too!;)
Looks very nice,bit high for me but nice.
Is that rear wheel steer too?

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

Yes, 4-wheel steering, and I agree it sits too high for those tires. I think I'll try the Kongs on these rims and see what develops. It needs to crawl eventually, and these tires are much too wide anyway.

I'm looking forward to more shelf queens here [8D]

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

I don`t have anymore shelf queens as I sold them all . I only keep what I race now .

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

Well i'll put up some pics of my car that everyone thinks is a shelf queen...it's not btw!!;)

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

THIS IS NOT MY TRUCK!!!

I found this on ebay and saw this thread. Truck is a really nice shelf queen. It is currently on ebay for 2400...

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

i should buy that then jump it, just to see how many integy parts i can break:D

oh yea i dont believe in shelf queens...

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

totally, they are a waste of money... if I ever upgrade, it is for cost reasons ONLY, I do have to say that the crawer is SICK TO THE MAX:)

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

LOL i dont either... But if someone eles wants to spend mad cash i will look at it.

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

So true!

I wish I could say that my delays are all about the functionality, but I did want to make it pretty, too :D Some of the trucks that show up for sale here and there look like someone's life savings, and I sure do love to see them. To have a running vehicle just sitting... no way.

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

i love to look at them, i just dont like spending money on something that sits around and looses value. now i collect die cast cars but ill atleast get my money back with them.

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread

My 4-tec

http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/6749/dscn9539wh0.jpg

An older picture, but the list now includes:
-Graphite chassis
-TBS bearings all around, and in bellcrank
-Stainless steel hex hardware nearly everywhere
-Spektrum Z590 w/ Kimbrough saver
-Speedgems Pro Kobal
-LRP A.I. Pro Reverse
-Slipper clutch
-Big bores w/ TiN shafts in the mail
-Soon, rally conversion w/ graphite tie bar, and graphite rear shock tower

I bought this is rough shape, tore it apart and cleaned it. I'm slowly working on upgrading it, and haven't really run it yet. So I guess right now, it's a shelf queen, but once it's finished it will be bashed just as hard as my Rusty! Any yea, I know it's a Traxxas, but it's a fun project.

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

I think that truck would have to sit on a shelf. It certainly is shiny, and looks lovely sitting there, but some of those aluminum upgrades may not last long if they're put under stress :D

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

its got integy, a k&n air filter, and a "supercharger"...i dont even think its worth sittin on a shelf

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

Yes, I know I'd probably fall apart if I drove it, but its a shelf queen afer all so I dont mind.

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

Very nice Sheograth...but can't you find some bigger wheels for that...they look kinda small.;)

RE: shelf Queens THE Thread
 

I dont get the point of a car you put $1000's of $ if you dont drive it. I put $750 in my e-maxx and I drive full speed (about 40 mph) off ever jump. (btw nice t-maxx, I like all the blue).
