|  Home Made Shock Stand
Here is the shock stand I just made. Not including the beat-up Traxxas rims I am using as a base, the whole thing cost about $8.   To be honest though, the cost was almost $50, I had to buy a $40 step drill bit to make the wholes on the upper plate. I'm thinking about making two of the holes on the bottom plate large enough to allow the shock to have a rod-end installed. |

I guess I am major league cheap. I just cut the tops off of 24 oz Mtn Dew bottles, drill a hole in the cap and use those as individual shock stands.  |

This bit is a Craftsman... I have bought some things from HF, but when I order over the phone they completely piss me off. Once I have given them the information they need they transfer me to someone else to "finish the transaction", this is where they try to sell products and services that I don't want, they get down right pushy, and won't tell me if they have everything they need. |

Looks like a good stand. Think I will make one similar. I will make mine out of Lexan since I get it for free.
