For my Losi MRC, I use the bottom 3" of two water bottles turned upside down; they look fine painted black inside and out, and are totally expendable (throw 'em around).

Those ideas look awsome i have been removing wheels and usuing smaal books under the chassis skiplate. I seen the hudy stands which aside from shock holes look minimal compared to all of these pics

I take off the wheels when not in use. It doesn't take long, then I store the rig on two hooks by the front axle on my pegboard. If Im working on it, I disassemble it all the way, if I need to work on an axle, I remove it, I hate trying to work on it when its all attached and sitting on a stand.

2" PVC or ABS pipe cut long enough to keep wheels and suspension off the shelf. I also use the small jackstands that they sold at northern but only for projects that have no wheels

I use a box to sit under the skidplate, keeps the tires off the ground and the weight off my shocks/springs;)

Some of you use some nice stands. I really like the PVC idea. When working on it, like in this pic I use WK tires. for storage I get them up outa the way. |
