Hey there! It's been a week! Haven't really had the time to use my rcs, but I'm re-organizing my desk and I thought id ask what everyone else is doing. A photo and a description would be awesome!

Here's mine:
1000004584.webp

The shelves on the side house my crawlers, and the bottom one has some tires too. I've got the slash and RB10 on a re-purposed pot/pan holder, zip tied to the silver pipe to make it stand up right. The box below has some random stuff like bumpers, and my batteries. (Well, when it's not too cold) I've got a radio for some music in the left corner next to the power strip. Again, usually has a lot more stuff in it like chargers, but it's still kinda cold at night. My desk is a mess after my trip to texas, but I used to have a drawer attached to it, but that broke and there's not a fix to my knowledge. Need another way to store all of my boxes. The toolbox is my travel kit, so I just throw whatever boxes I want into it and go! I've got a tire rack for my tires I use. A fun model of a I4 engine for decoration, along with the side panels from previous slash bodies that have been broken beyond repair. And I have my home made trailers for my trx-4 off to the side laying on the desk.

I need some input:
How do I store my boxes in an organized fashion
Should I re-arrange anything?
Any other things you might think of!
And id like to keep my budget on the lower end for any add-ons you may think of.

That's all! Thanks RCT!

Forgot to add: my workshop is in my garage, no heating/AC

Like a tornado went through it.
Me or you or both? For now I'm organizing what's in the boxes and marking them with Sharpie until we have a better solution. If my tower gets knocked down, I'm in for a lot of cleanup.

Virtually just starting in tge crawling spectrum. Hoping to get some planes back in the air. I'm still old school and most of my planes are Balsa and monotone covering. (That should date me a bit) The last picture is of me and two of my brothers. Those sail planes are Goldberg Gentle Lady's. I'm in the foreground with my chrome covered Lady, this is the 3rd recovering job on it. That is the first kit I bought and built in 1982, I paid $19,95 for the kit, the covering was $7.99 a roll back then so kit, glue, and covering was less than $45.00 minus the radio system. Furaba 4 channel digital proportional AM crystal radio setup with 4 servos was $119.99 through Tower Hobbies. Glider kit took me about a month to build from out of the box to radio installation Those were the days!😁

My workshop looks just like the 1st floor of my house, only with Optims Mid parts all over EVERYTHING!!! 🤭
I have TRASHED this place with my lastest bout of disassembly.
Turns out, the transmission and chassis will require an ADDITIONAL table! 🙄😂
 
I'm about to expand a bit with a much larger workbench but this is what it looks like for now.

The larger workbench was my wife's idea. She saw me working on the 8s Outcast recently and suggested it was too big for the bench. She either meant I need smaller cars or a bigger bench, I went with the latter. Should be here next week.

lol I realized I needed a spot for my radios.
Best thing I thought of until I get better spots for all my other stuff was to hang my Traxxas radios upside down next to the fishing rods and put my other two on the unused clamps on my garden tool holder.

When I started in this hobby, I shopped at a hobby shop that looked very much like your shop. Fantastic collection of planes and supplies you have there!!! 😍
