Hanging trucks.

[biggman100]

I ran out of places to put shelves (if I put shelves over my work table, the 3d printer won't fit, and I would be hitting my head constantly), so I came up with a better solution, at least for me. Hang them on the wall by the rear axle.

Awesome. What did you attach to the wall?
I am going to have to do something myself as space is running out.

The 2x6 with wooden dowels i have screwed to the side of my shelf works pretty well. I run a bit of silicone or shoe goo on the top of the dowels to create a surface the trucks wont slide on.

I measured a few places on the truck, like bumper height, and width of the axles, focusing on an open spot on each side of the diff, then found some curved hooks I could screw to the wall and then just let the trucks hang from the rear axle in the case of the Cen, and the A-arm's on the Blitz. The only minor issue I encountered on the Sicario, where the the hooks curved upwards, they were a little long and hit the bar that centers the axle (I always forget what it's called), so, I marked the hooks, took the plastic cap off the end, and cut the hooks shorter, so it would hang better. These are the hooks I bought:

Hanging mine like that for a while now. Don’t have enough room now but I’m about to add some more.


2x4’s with 2 hose hangers per car Plop the axle over them. A packing 10 hangers are $10 on amazon. 2x4 stud is $3.50. One pound box of three inch decking screws is $5.

Thanks for sharing what you did in such detail, super appreciate it!

Right now I have them scattered around my basement on various stacks of tires or tiny boxes. I am out of flat surfaces lol
Time to go vertical!
