Not sure if your tires will get flat spotted sitting next to each other
Also, keep your eye on that foam making sure it doesn't react with or disintegrate on your tires

The foam itself is in zip lock bags, within a larger bag with the tires Once the tire bags is in the box, its sits on an angle, the tires would rest on one another, I'm just being paranoid

I should have known better than to question your technique
Well done

Looks good Marlon,
I don't see any desiccant in the boxes

I've had good luck with long time storage in plastic stackable bins filled with peanuts and a sheet of tissue paper between the two cars with tires stacked in the corners of the bin.

Back in the USA our climate was perfect (Bay Area) for preserving rc rubber and nothing really had to be done, Australia is a bit of a worry as it's very dry and hot.

Fixed it for you mate....

I got it just about where I want it. Still need to get a few more boxes, but at least I can have quick access to any car, or kit box. With this new set-up, I can now fit a few more key kits I'm missing. Everything has a label, and brief description....... When dealing with multiple versions of the same car, things can get a bit confusing, even for the best of them

Very nice, but I am surprised you left room for the 10T re-re

2 of them.

Very cool!

Is it possible to get a good photo of the RC10 box from Japan?

Great job, Marlon! Nice and tidy - I like it.

Thanks guys on the kind words Good eye Rod, I'll get you some pic's in the coming days, do you want pics of the tires as well? They are different for the USA version.

Yes please!

Here you go Rod, hope this helps, let me know if you need any other pic's..... Other than what is shown below, everything else is the same as the USA version. Both the USA, and Japan manuals are included, same car, body, etc.....
Tires are Hot laps. Front # TF-230, Rear # TR-39 I'll do a scan for the archievs, but unless you can read Japanese.............. Box has a mate finish, other than the end label, pretty much the same.

Very nice Marlon - cool kit.

very cool stash... i should make the trip to Oakville
