So what do you do with the original box your rig came in? I have been keeping my rigs in the box (along with the extra parts) and putting the on shelves in the garage to keep dust/dirt off of them. Now I'm out of room to store them. Is there any advantage to keeping the boxes?
 
I like to keep the original kit box just to store the manual and misc bits not used like decal sheet, etc... I typically keep those items for resale later to make my car sell faster and demonstrate that it's been kept in clean working order.
 
I store them for a while just in case there is a warranty issue. Living far from any hobby store, I would probably have to ship the car back if there were any issues.
 
I have a stampede xl5, stampede vxl, bandit vxl, and a axial scx10 ii box. Wish I kept the nitro sport box. I also have an HPI e10 Vaughn Gitten Jr monster edition. Sold the car in 2011, kept the drift wheels and body. The Traxxas box are full of bodies or patts.
 
I keep the boxes until I don't need them anymore or if I do. I kept my rustler box for a while for display then I used it as a parts box, then I cut it up and used some of the box panels as mini ramps for the mini b. I still have my Associated buggy kit box on display at my workbench. I also kept my SkyRC charger box and my Radiolink box and a few Hobbywing combo boxes. Idk why I keep them tho.
I'm a box collector! ;):D
 
Don't keep boxes, don't have the space. My Element crawlers have cool boxes that have a display printed inside, each one has a different garage. Nice for displaying but I still don't have room for them.

That's what happening to me. No more room.
I don't sell anything so I guess it's time to get rid of some boxes.
