| got bored...this is what happend.
got bored last night and felt like building something...had some tubing left over from a tuber build and this is what I came up with. it actually does a great job holding the truck when wrenching on it! I was also tired of not having anything decent to stick under my crawler when I was working on it. and the flex shot just for fun... |

That's a pretty sweet stand, what's it made out of? Last time I got bored I glued my elbow to my work bench. |

Thanks! it's 3/16 brake line brazed and painted... ontop I brazed on a 16 guage sheet metal plate then riveted on a piece of thick rubber to help keep the truck from sliding off. took a few hours, almost a 6 pack and some red eyes... lol. best part is I didn't spend a penny on it, just used some material I had laying around. |

Niiiiiiice. Would you mind if I stole your design? I too have lamented for a stand to work on my crawlers with, but the readily-available ones (duratrax, etc.) are either too short (height wise) or just too big for most crawlers. That looks slick!
