The boards are a good idea, keeps them off the tires.

Wow. That is alot of cars. I don't know what's more impressive, the number of rc's or the way you came up with displaying them. Definitely using up all the available space. Come on--throw me a number. How many complete cars in your collection? I've got mine on every shelf that the wife would let me steal. I was just talking it over with her tonight about a dedicated shelving system in my hobby room. I like this plexiglass stand for keeping them up off the tires. I haven't seen another one for sale but I haven't really looked either. I have 32 cars on display right now so they would have to be cheap to buy one for every car.

Its very basic so i didnt think people would wanna see it. Here is the 190mm model i build them mainly for my touring car since that is what my collection mainly is.
When i get back from lowes with some nail i will show it mounted.

I like the idea for displaying a car. I thought of something similar using shelf brackets last time I was in home depot. For me, I would attach a few of these to a stand of some kind. Otherwise you end up with alot of holes in your sheetrock wall. I had also considered converting a wall to pegboard and then using shelf brackets on the pegboard. This would allow me to change the placement of the brackets instantly. In the end, I'll probably go with the same shelving system I use for my business. 4' wide, 2' deep and 6' tall steel framed with wood shelves. I can put each shelf at the height I need. My collection ranges from monster trucks to 1/12 pan cars, so one size doesn't fit all.

I like your 3d printed setup. I do something similar but on the cheap. 2 runners with brackets that lock into place. Keeps them off the tires and sets them to the side. Brackets that can move with the different size stuff I have at different times. Thing is, mine isn't for display...for ease of finding what I'm after without looking through all the boxes which the overflow still goes into. Granted , a few are kindo on display but only because I had some extra brackets and runners and have run outta room in the basement where my work zone ended up.

Tried 3 times to post pix of them here but gave up...

edited with an old pic which might be able to show the bracket and runners...

Back when I had more cars and was displaying them I used the same runners and brackets. I actually thought they were kinda expensive though. What I did was mounted my runners about 6' apart. And laid a 1"x4" board across the brackets. This way I could get lots of cars on one level using 2 brackets per level versus 2 brackets per car.

Actually not too bad. You can't see all on this wall but they are crammed up there and you see about half of them and I've only got about $ 75 wrapped up in it. This is my work area...kinda.
