X-Maxx car stand DIY project - £13!


H1q

Recommended Posts

Hopefully I’m not the only one who has an issue paying strong money for an X-Maxx stand...
I was considering the T-Bone version for the X-Maxx (USD50-odd + shipping) but then decided to give it a shot myself. 
 

This was £13 all-in and took about 30mins to put together.


Happy to share more details with anyone who might want to do the same for theirs!

We found stands are useful at the track for putting additive on the tyres but instead of getting 2 proper ones we use 2 small spares boxes (from the pound shop)

Question. Does anyone actually find an RC stand useful for actually working on an RC? Everyone Ive had has looked good, but been a complete and utter waste of time in the real world!?

 

I find them useful for working on suspension or replacing arms, hubs, etc. I use a couple of spare MT wheels as a stand, I don't have anything close to the size of an xmaxx.

I feel like the poor relation now. I just use a cardboard box (heavy duty postage boxes) or an old house brick for all my models to stand on.

I store all mine on boxes to stop flat spotting the tires.
