Where Can I Find Crawler Stands?

[alexchen86]

I'm not sure if the description is correct in the title, but I'm organizing my hobby room and would like to keep my rigs off the ground and sitting on the axles.

As of now I've been resting my rigs on 40 series Big Joes lol...

I remember seeing clear plastic or acrylic stands to hold up comp rigs/scalers.

With some minimal woodworking skills, I think those could be easily made at home.

EDIT: did not see the 12$ price tag on the 2nd set. Looks great!

Contact MTHEAD or DinkyR/C

If I remember to use it at all, I use a use a guitarist adjustable foot rest

Go to Lowes/ Home Depot. Get a 4x4 and cut it... or 2x4 and stack them

At work we had these plastic pieces we used a hole saw on and so I drilled through them so I could bolt them together (never got that far), but I use those as stands for my stadium truck, rally car, and crawler

[alexchen86]

I already been in contact with MThead (John) he has a few left. I am also looking for stands or shelves for my other cars/buggies/trucks in 1/8, 1/12, and a few 1/10's.

I keep all my r/c's inside as my garage is way too easy to break into...

I got these shelfs. You can put 2 rigs on shelf.

Shop Plano 56-1/4"H x 34-1/4"W x 14-1/4"D Plastic Freestanding Shelving Unit at Lowes.com

You can roll up to home depot and grab some pvc.

[alexchen86]

Thanks for that awesome shelf Eric! Problem solved...at least for my 1/10 on roads. I might have to fab up a PVC concoction for some low slung rigs if I want them off the shelf level.

I have two shelving units similar to those above, they're pretty nice.

As far as stands, could do like I did and send your wife off to work to make some for ya. (she says they're 'hat brackets' for some kind of industrial vent hood or air makeup unit. I say 'truck stands'!)





I'd share, but every single last one of mine are currently full right now, sorry.



Of course if your wife doesn't run a press brake, this plan might not work quite as well for you.

Even better, I work mon-thur 10.5 hrs, she works 5- 8's. So I already did my 42, I'm off fridays, and she goes off to work. So I get an uninterrupted wrenching day!
Today's going to be tire/wheel day, so those stands are going to come in mighty handy!

I took my new Honcho out the other day and it had flat spots on the tires. I set it on a shoebox now.
