Kraton Am i being OCD? (Storage)

[McClain210]

I store my trucks on a plastic shelf. I was pondering the idea of placing them on stands to elevate the wheels and suspension. Do any of you guys do this or am i overthinking things?

Best to do this. Relieves stress on the arms and tire flat spots.

I try to find anything to get the trucks off the ground , I left my K8S on the floor for a few months without touching it , WOW you should have seen the flats spots it had !!!

Especially if you have RPM arms. I once had a set of RPM arms bend and stay bent from sitting on the wheels too long.

Their your trucks, you can be as “OCD” as you want…
I put mine on yoga blocks.

How tall of a yoga block do i need to get notorious/kraton wheels off the ground?

For the 6s, a standard size works fine and the 8s rigs I use two taped together on edge.

I've heard boiling them will being them back to life.

If you want a cheap and quick fix, take the tires off, lay them flat, and store the truck on top.

Do you happen to know what stores would carry them? Going to pick two up tomorrow if i can find them

Standard yoga blocks are 9”x6”x4”
Idk what stores are around you, but Amazon or EBay will ship them right to your door.

Walmart has them often. They also have yoga bricks, which I prefer as they are heavier and don’t slide around as easy.

My local Wallyworld only has the thinner 3” blocks. (Perfect for my on road rigs) They also have standard size cork ones.. are those considered “bricks” ?

I just use my spare tires I have for each vehicle. Rims and tire are most times tall enough to elevate them.

 

[Adiabatic]

I use this for working on and storing them.

Or you can be like @Pat_ranch and have them hanging from the rafters in your garage with freshly butchered elk.....which looks a lot like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets RC"

I use the standard wall shelf brackets without the wood… I put fuel line on the brackets. Don’t mind my messy corner… ugh. Hahaha

I also used these for my crawlers but work well for any Rc….

Apparently you and I have different definitions of messy! my corner looks like an episode of hoarders!
