Overview

The RC Overhaul RC Car Stand Black (T-RCO-TL013B) is an essential workshop tool for anyone serious about maintaining their RC car collection. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast running competitive 1/8th scale buggies or a casual basher with a compact 1/18th scale model, this swivel pit stand transforms routine maintenance into a straightforward, efficient process. Getting all four wheels off the work surface is crucial for accessing hard-to-reach components, and the RC Overhaul stand delivers exactly that with professional-grade engineering at an affordable price point that makes it accessible for every RC hobbyist in the UK.

Maintenance is inevitable in the RC hobby—whether you're performing routine shock rebuilds, replacing suspension components, or simply cleaning and inspecting your vehicle after a muddy day at the track. This is where a quality car stand becomes invaluable. The RC Overhaul swivel car stand makes both routine and unexpected maintenance easier by lifting all wheels of the work surface and enabling you to swivel the car through a complete 360 degrees, allowing you to work on all four corners with genuine ease and without constantly repositioning your model. For RC car UK enthusiasts who want to maximise their workshop efficiency, this stand represents a genuine productivity upgrade.

Built from folded aluminium with a chunky centre column, this stand combines lightweight portability with genuine structural strength. It's equally capable of safely holding your smallest 1/18th scale GROM or your full-sized 1/8th TLR buggy, making it a genuine all-in-one workshop solution for multi-scale RC collections. The anodised black finish with laser-etched RC Overhaul logo gives it a professional appearance that wouldn't look out of place in a serious RC workshop.

Key Features

• 360-Degree Swivel Upper Plate — The rotating upper plate allows you to access every angle of your model without lifting it off the stand, saving time and frustration when working on suspension, electronics, or bodywork. You can inspect and work on all four corners without constant repositioning, which is especially valuable when you're deep into a shock rebuild or tuning your suspension geometry.
• Height Adjustable Design — The height of the stand can be adjusted by rotating the upper plate counter-clockwise to raise it or clockwise to lower it, making it more stable for vehicles with less droop. This flexibility means you can optimise the working height for your comfort and create the ideal angle for whatever maintenance task you're undertaking, whether that's inspecting differentials or rebuilding shocks.
• Lockable Position with Grub Screw — The upper plate can be fixed in one position by tightening the small grub screw on the centre column, preventing your vehicle from spinning round when you don't want it to. This is essential when you're applying oils, sealants, or performing detailed work that requires absolute stability.
• Shock Rebuild Holes (4 x 12mm and 16mm) — The upper plate features four pre-drilled holes—both 12mm and 16mm sizes—allowing a range of shock sizes to fit whilst you rebuild them. This dedicated feature ensures your shocks don't fall over whilst you're refilling them with oil or replacing internals, keeping everything organised and preventing spills on your workshop floor.
• Integrated Magnetic Strip with Ruler — A magnetic strip is provided for securing screws and small accessories, so you know exactly where 'that' critical screw is when rebuilding your vehicle. On the flip side is a laser-etched ruler along the front edge, allowing you to quickly measure screws, springs, or material without hunting for a separate tool—a thoughtful detail that demonstrates genuine workshop understanding.
• Premium Protective Padding — Foam pads are provided for the upper plate that help grip the car when working on it and prevent it slipping off during access and movement. Additionally, four smaller anti-slip pads are included for the bottom of the base to prevent the stand slipping on any hard surface, protecting both your model and your workshop floor.
• Sturdy Folded Aluminium Construction — The stand is engineered from folded aluminium with a chunky centre column, making it sturdy enough to confidently hold everything from lightweight micro-scale models to full-sized 1/8th buggy platforms. The aluminium construction keeps the weight down for easy transportation between workshop and track, whilst the robust engineering ensures it will remain stable and true through years of regular use.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul RC Car Stand is engineered with genuine workshop practicality in mind. The folded aluminium chassis provides an excellent balance between structural rigidity and lightweight portability, making it suitable for permanent workshop installation or transport to RC clubs and race events. The chunky centre column is the key to stability—it provides the pivot point for 360-degree rotation whilst maintaining absolute sturdiness when the stand is locked in position. The anodised black finish is not merely aesthetic; anodising provides genuine corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring the stand will maintain its appearance and function through years of workshop use, even in damp UK workshop conditions. The adjustable height mechanism works smoothly through hand rotation, with the grub screw lock providing a secure hold that won't slip during intensive work. The precision-drilled shock holes (both 12mm and 16mm) accommodate the vast majority of modern shock dampers used in 1/18th through 1/8th scale models. The magnetic strip uses genuine magnetic adhesion to hold ferrous fasteners, and the laser-etched ruler provides accurate measurement capabilities without requiring additional tools. The protective padding—both the foam pads on the upper plate and the anti-slip pads on the base—is a critical detail that prevents model damage and floor marking. The stand is designed and manufactured by RC Overhaul, a specialist brand with deep expertise in RC workshop equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What scale RC cars does the RC Overhaul stand support? — The stand is designed to safely accommodate everything from 1/18th scale micro models like the Losi Mini LMT through to full 1/8th scale buggies such as the TLR platform. The adjustable height means you can optimise the setup for your specific model's weight distribution and wheelbase, making it genuinely universal for enthusiasts with multi-scale collections.
• Is the height adjustment smooth and reliable? — Yes—the height is adjusted by rotating the upper plate counter-clockwise to raise it (for vehicles with more droop) or clockwise to lower it (for vehicles with less droop), providing smooth, intuitive control. The grub screw lock ensures that once you've set your preferred working height, the stand won't drift or shift during intensive maintenance work.
• Can I use this stand for shock rebuilds? — Absolutely—this is one of the stand's primary design features. The four pre-drilled holes (both 12mm and 16mm) are specifically engineered to hold shock dampers upright while you refill them with oil or replace internals. The magnetic strip keeps your small parts organised, and the ruler lets you measure springs or components precisely.
• What makes the 360-degree swivel useful? — Rather than lifting your model and repositioning it multiple times during a maintenance session, the swivel feature lets you rotate the entire car around the central axis whilst it remains elevated and secure. This is invaluable when accessing suspension components, checking drivetrains from multiple angles, or inspecting the underside without constant repositioning.
• Is this suitable for workshops and track use? — Yes—many RC enthusiasts in the UK keep a stand at home for detailed maintenance and bring a second stand to track events. The portable size and lightweight aluminium construction make it easy to transport, whilst the sturdy design ensures it remains stable and reliable through repeated use in various environments.
• Will the stand damage my RC car's finish? — No—the foam pads on the upper plate are specifically designed to grip your model gently whilst preventing it from slipping, and they won't mark or damage painted bodies or anodised chassis components. The anti-slip pads on the base protect your workshop floor equally effectively.
