Upside Down Stand, Or Maybe Stand Upside Down
 

Just curious - has anyone ever seen an RC stand for sale that is designed to cradle a 1/10 or 1/8 scale car upside down for disassembly? I could make something, and probably will, but thought I'd ask.

I've sometimes wanted something like this myself, but I have never seen one.

I just use a couple of 2x2x4" wood blocks. I also have some 4x4x4 blocks.

That's what I figured. I searched far and wide before I posted this question.

That's probably the smartest method, but I've never been accused of being overly smart, unless it's followed by the word a**. :oops:

I like to tinker and build things. I may try to come up with some sort of rack with adjustable sliding blocks that can be moved to fit under various body or chassis sizes and shapes.

Remove beer from cooler, turn upside down, cut to suit. Will also catch the nuts & bolts that you drop taking things a part.

patent pending :lmao:

Just for the fun of it, here are several stands I found that I had not been aware of before.

Not being a scaler, I had not thought of these RC jack stands, but I can see that they have a lot of potential. There are a lot of variations of RC jack stands available. I may pick up a set.

First one is nothing more than PVC pipe..."thumbsup"

Other 2, the one size that fits all but not really well, would be a pain in the butt. Adjustable will always change when stored, and need to be tweaked before use.

Jack stands, check what they are made of? Saying that cause, light weight = tipsy.

With the latest fad & printed parts showing up all over the place/copied/counterfeited. Stuff may not be exactly what they look like or function as they look, word to the wise.

Also noted, NONE are for upside down service as you were asking about ? Supporting the underside of the chassis, & because most of it is lineal .
Is easily done, on the flip side )PUN intended)

I would think something that cradles what is being held a better option
Just a casual observation. '

The PVC was a good idea. Build it big enough, so as you could have a soft/cushioned cradle to flip the model for the servicing.

There are some cool options in there. They are kinda large to store though.

As JackTheRipper said, you could create one from PVC pipe.
