How to display cars?

[Thumper33]

Now that I have a couple of cars, I want to figure out a way to display them on a wall. I have seen a couple of techniques that show long pegs coming out of the wall That basically give each car a little platform to sit on under the chassis. I like that idea And I'm wondering What to use to do that. also I wanted to see if anybody had any other ideas.. My idea is to have them on a wall stacked vertically so as not to take up a lot of space, but to look pretty cool..

The long pegs are just ¾" dowel rod drilled into a 1"x8" board in my case. Easy to do, I've seen some pretty cool ideas here, I'm sure others will chime in.

Yup, that's the one I saw... love it!

I made one similar to @FAILWISH, but I made it out of scrap wood and it looks like poop!

I had seen this on eBay. Basically a 3d printed cup that screws into the wall and holds 2 of the tires on the RC.

I don't love this idea as it could deform the wheel and all the stress is hanging on the front a-arms.
Good for visibility/display, bad for the car....

Thanks, made a flatbed for it too using a cheaper Tamiya front cab rather than chop up the body. Carrying a Capra 4WS, actually crawls better with all that weight on it.

You get the award for most RC per square inch.....

How has the Lasernut treated you?

Wow. Im thinking......not in love with the angle, but still useful. Put foam where body rests

Good luck on the project buddy

I was debating the dowels, but went with 2 shelving units from Costco.

Just a little bit of duct tape and all your problems are gone
