Default R/C Car Storage Bubble?

Hello,

I just recently came across a brand new in the box factory sealed Tamiya Terra Crusher... I was thinking, to preserve it and keep it free from dust (on display) i'd like to put it in a storage bubble. But one the scale of the truck of course.

I am talking about the storage bubble they use for life size cars. It has a fan and all.

Any ideas?

If the truck is in a sealed factory carton it may be worth more unopened as a collector...

It was, but I opened it, because I want to enjoy it. You are right though.

Well, it would have been better to never open it W/E. Since youve already done that justr make your self a plexy case, maybe with a wood base.

Yeah keeping it sealed from the factory would have been the smartest thing to do. But since you already opened it, maybe a wooden box with a plexi glass top and side so you can view it that way. Maybe cherry or cedar for the wood part maybe even oak, but cherry I think would be best. Since you want to make it nice you might as well go nice with the wood part to right.

Rs43EVOman , I wasn't looking for your opinion on what I should have done. It is my truck and my choice. I'm not going to sell it ever so there is no reason at all for keeping it in the box and never looking at the truck. If I wasn't even going to open the box, instead, I would've bought a poster of one and put it on my wall.

calm down, all i said was I, and many other people would agree that it might have been a better decision to keep it sealed. I wasnt saying you did anything wrong. And without freaking out at me, why are you making a case for it?

I wasn't trying to freak out at you sorry. I want a case to preserve the truck and keep it free from dust.
