Motor Storage = Silver Eagle Coin Storage
This is my first thread, I searched for another thread to expand on but I didn't see one on motor storage. Similar to a lot of you, I raced in the 80's as a teenager. I must have received most of my motors second hand from guys at the track. BITD everyone had single motor cases and the motors I bought used came in these nice plastic cases. Anyway, now that I can't stop buying motors on eBay I need a place to store them. I searched for the same motor cases I used BITD and I couldn't find them. I was also surprised none of the online hobby shops sell anything smaller than a suitcase for storing motors (what if I don't have 10 motors).
So I was excited today when I found that the motor cases I remember are actually coin tubes. You RC Veterans probably know that already, but I did think it was a good enough discovery to warrant my first post.
So the point is. If anyone is looking for a good motor storage idea; consider these. A Silver Eagle Coin tube, 41MM in diameter and perfect fit for a RC motor. Best part, only 76 cents each at the local coin and jewelry store. Also available online.

Yup, coin tubes. They are nice for vintage stuff. Your pics are propably not loading because they are too big. Try scaleing them down by 50% and see what happens. -Jeff

Re: Motor Storage = Silver Eagle Coin Storage
Thanks, I always wondered where they came from. The guys that built my motors always had them.

Re: Motor Storage = Silver Eagle Coin Storage
I still have a US Mint green top Silver Eagle tube from when I was into collecting coins. I also found that one cent (penny) tubes are good to store Dremel sanding disks. I need to get some quarter size or half dollar size to store and organize my cutting wheels.
