I'd buy a couple of those to start with and you can get a few small packs of the ones you need some extra of.

at least for me as I have gotten older my time is more vauable to me and needing it right away isnt that big of a deal, and when you factor in the price of gas it makes sense to buy off the net....also I get more pissed off at my LHS more everytime I go there they seem to have no clue whenever I need anything

Here's mine, I finally added another light over the workbench area and moved my air compressor to the same side as my working area.

Yep, peg board does come in 4x8 sheets. I have tons of parts in boxes that are unopened, and will most likely need 3 or 4 sheets of pegboard and 300-500 hangers. I bought out most of the parts when a local hobby store went out of business, pennies on the dollar. If I was to buy the pegs locally it would cost 500-1000 bucks, that was why I was wondering about bulk pegs.

Thanks all for your pics. You have given me some great ideas. I thought it might be nice to see where everyone does their"BEST" work.:yes:

That will be a lot of pegboard! You will have a VERY nice, spacious, work area when you are done.:party:

Heres some pics of the room, this is about as clean as it gets. I need to re-arrange everything to fit all of the recent purchases!

Current pegboard, need some more! Most of my bagged parts are in boxes, makes things hard to find!

That's alot of stuff you got there:oh:

Funny, I like that. I own a body shop, so dust is everywhere. I try to keep the door closed, but that only does so much. My buddy and I actually spent a few hours to get it looking this good. I am notorius for ping/ponging between projects, so there is always tons of stuff half finished.

Heres another pic of my favorite toy, and few more tool boxes behind it!

Nice bike:smile:

I always have multiple projects going too... tend to get bored and have to try something new. After enough new projects an old one becomes new again:lol:

Stocks.
 
Now we know why a lot of the LHS shops are low on stocks.:yes: lincpimp cleaned them out.:whistle: I have been in hobby shops that have less R/C gear on their shelves then he does. :oh: Of course we have come to expect no less from the pimp. Too bad you don't have the monkey bulter to clean the place up a little. :lol::rofl::rofl:

Yep, pity the monkey had to go, but he did like to eat the smaller parts. I am hoping to do a complete reorganization soon, and hope to get the hobby room alot tidier. I have just been too busy at work to get much r/c time recently...

JERRY2KONE 05.24.2008 01:03 PM

Messin
 
Yo know we are just messin with you pimp. anyone who has that much R/C gear will have a hard time keeping it in any real order. A lot of us have less and our rooms look much the same. It drives the wives crazy but we know where everything is anyway. :lol:

That is my issues, I know what I have, but have so much trouble finding it sometimes. I plan to slowly organize everything as I finish projects. Seems like the LHS owner can hook me up with a place to buy pegs in bulk, so I can organize my parts better.

DRIFT_BUGGY 05.24.2008 06:28 PM

I couldn't keep all my boxes, would have room to move

Metallover 05.24.2008 08:53 PM

Linc, I like your charger station.:rofl:

I see some a123 packs in front of it. Which one of those chargers do you charge them with?

Those 5 cell packs are actually lipo cells from a milwaukee pack. The charge just like regular lipos. I do have an a123 hypersonic charger and use it to charge some 2 and 3 cell a123 packs.

aqwut 05.25.2008 09:02 AM

Damn Linc, you have a lot of cr*p there.... you have lots of room man!.. I will have similar amount of workspace soon as I move in to my new House.. I can't believe how many things you have there...:intello:

I do have alot of stuff, just need to get everything together and assembled! Good to hear that you will have a decent sized work space, it is a must once you get more than a few r/cs!

Serum 05.25.2008 10:28 AM

Yeah, not bad for a guy who wanted to quit a few months back.. :whistle:

suicideneil 05.25.2008 12:25 PM

I'll chuck my modest 'workshop' area in for good measure.
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...f/workshop.jpg
Old coffee table is now a work bench, complete with swivelling vice. Shelf has the batts and a few other bits on it; anyone want/need half an emaxx tranny? Cordless drill and toolbox under the bench, along with the blue and yellow organisers that house screws and assorted spares/field tools. CD tower has lots of plastic tubs that contain varies bits of electrical crap, like wires and fans etc etc. Charger lives in the kitchen...

lincpimp 05.25.2008 02:14 PM

Hey Neil, the Maxx just looks mean sitting on the table!

Mike_D 05.25.2008 03:08 PM

I was kind of thinking the same thing. What tires and wheels are those? They would bad*ss on my Twin.

DRIFT_BUGGY 05.25.2008 05:44 PM

Those tyres would of cost abit

Desmo 05.26.2008 12:43 AM

Ok here is my Small work space. I would back up to get the bench in one shot but I can't, Its a 10x14 shed. The bench is in is typical state. I pile crap on it for weeks then I have clean it to work on something.:lol:

This is nothing special but it serves it's purpose. I live in a one bedroom apt and finally got sick of working on my kitchen table. I got a scrap of countertop for free and cut it to fit in my bedroom closet. Attached it to the back wall and one side then made a leg to hold up the front right corner. The leg also serves as a place for my powerstrip. I would like to ad some small shelves to hold my tools but for now the left side that isn't really accesible to work on anything from is a good place to pile up my tools. As I said it's nothing special but proves that with a little ingenuity you can have a work area no matter where you are!

JERRY2KONE 06.07.2008 01:03 AM

Space.
 
Thats all any of us really needs anyway. Nice use of space. Is that a DX3 on the bench. How do you like using it?

Got 2 cupboards built to store the parts/cars etc. in. Small cupboard on the left is to store tools, boxes, etc. and on top on the cuboard will be a little workbench and pegboard up on the wall. All the shelves beside the large cupboard is to store other tools/equipment on

2nd pic shows inside of the large cuboard but is a slight bit messy at the moment and not everything is in there that usually is.
http://i27.tinypic.com/ogl3jm.jpg

This is on the other side of the garage, the beams are up, just got to put the pegboard up and put a few shelfs in and move the workbench up along it. Will have around 12 powerpoints along this wall

Here is a little update on mine

Nice Work
 
Hey nice work. At least you are making progress. Soon you will have a space to work on your R/C projects with pride. Plus it is always nice to know exactly where everything is so you can move smoothly through projects without having to do too much searching for parts. Good job man.

Well, we moved back towards the end of April and things have been pretty busy since. We are just now getting settled and here is a picture of the shop:
