Key Features
- Designed for X-Trucks — This stand is specifically engineered to accommodate X-Maxx and XRT models, ensuring perfect fitment and maximum stability when holding your high-performance RC truck. Compatibility is guaranteed, so you know your investment will work flawlessly with your model.
- Tough Aluminium Construction with Brilliant Blue Anodised Finish — The stand is manufactured from premium aluminium that has been anodised to create a durable, corrosion-resistant surface in a striking blue colour. This construction method ensures the stand will resist wear, rust and damage from workshop environments, workshop chemicals and regular handling over many years of use.
- Dual Ball Bearings for Smooth 360° Rotation — The rotating top plate is supported by precision dual ball bearings that allow completely smooth, frictionless 360-degree rotation. This engineering means you can easily position your X-Truck from any angle without resistance, making it simple to access all sides of your vehicle for maintenance, inspection and repairs without having to manually lift and reposition the entire model.
- Exclusive Locking Lever with 16 Position Settings — The innovative Traxxas locking lever design allows you to secure the stand in any of 16 different positions around the full 360-degree rotation arc. This means you can lock your vehicle in the exact position you need for the task at hand—whether that's accessing the suspension, working on the drivetrain, or inspecting the chassis—and it will remain completely stable and immobile until you release the lever.
- Non-Slip Foam Pads on Top and Bottom — Both the top surface where your RC truck sits and the bottom feet that contact your workbench are equipped with premium non-slip foam pads. These protect your vehicle's body and paintwork from scratches whilst also preventing the stand itself from sliding across your work surface, ensuring maximum stability during all maintenance operations.
- Perfect for Maintaining and Storing Your X-Truck — This stand is equally valuable whether you're actively working on your model or storing it between sessions. It keeps your RC truck safely elevated and secure, protecting it from accidental damage whilst also keeping it accessible for quick adjustments or pre-run checks.
- Prevents Flat-Spotting of Tyres — By keeping your X-Truck elevated on the stand rather than resting on its tyres, you eliminate the risk of flat-spotting—where the tyres develop flat sections from prolonged pressure. This is particularly important for high-performance brushless RC vehicles where tyre condition directly affects handling and performance on the track or in your garden.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas X-Truck RC stand represents premium engineering in RC accessory design. Constructed from high-grade aluminium, the stand combines lightweight durability with exceptional strength—crucial for safely supporting the weight of large X-Series vehicles like the X-Maxx and XRT. The dual ball bearing rotation system uses precision engineering to eliminate play and friction, ensuring smooth action that remains consistent even after thousands of rotations. The exclusive locking lever mechanism provides indexed positioning at 16 different points around the 360-degree rotation arc, delivering true professional-grade stability. The non-slip foam padding on both top and bottom surfaces protects both your RC vehicle and your workbench whilst providing secure grip. The anodised aluminium finish provides genuine corrosion resistance and durability—this is not a painted finish that can chip, but rather a permanent surface treatment that becomes harder over time. The stand's engineering excellence makes it suitable for workshop use, garage storage, competition pits and display purposes. Whether you're performing routine maintenance on your brushless RC monster truck, making suspension adjustments to your XRT, or simply storing your model between racing sessions, this stand delivers the professional-grade performance and durability that Traxxas vehicles deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What X-Series vehicles does this stand fit? — The Traxxas X-Truck RC stand is specifically designed for and compatible with the X-Maxx and XRT models. This includes the X-Maxx Belted 4WD Brushless RTR in all colours, X-Maxx Ultimate variants, and all XRT VXL-8S and XRT Ultimate versions. It is engineered specifically for these large, high-performance brushless RC trucks to ensure perfect fitment and stability.
- Is this stand suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. While this stand is engineered to professional standards, it's straightforward to use. Simply place your RC truck on the top plate, and you can rotate and lock it into position using the intuitive locking lever. It's suitable for anyone who owns an X-Maxx or XRT, whether they're just starting out with RC vehicles or are experienced competitors. The stand actually makes maintenance easier for beginners by providing a stable platform to work from.
- Why should I use a dedicated stand rather than just placing my RC truck on the workbench? — A dedicated stand offers multiple advantages. First, it elevates your truck, making it much easier to access all sides for maintenance and inspection. Second, the non-slip pads protect both your vehicle and workbench. Third, by keeping your truck off the ground, you prevent flat-spotting of the tyres from prolonged pressure. Fourth, the 360-degree rotation with locking positions means you can position your vehicle exactly where you need it for any task. Finally, using a proper stand demonstrates that you're treating your investment with the care it deserves and will help maintain its condition and performance.
- Is the rotation smooth and will it hold position reliably? — Yes, on both counts. The dual ball bearing system provides completely smooth, frictionless rotation—you'll immediately notice how easily the top plate spins compared to budget alternatives. The 16-position locking lever is engineered by Traxxas to provide rock-solid stability once engaged. Once locked, your RC truck will not shift or move, even if you're applying pressure whilst working on suspension components or adjusting drivetrain elements.
- What makes the Traxxas locking lever design better than alternative stands? — Traxxas developed an exclusive locking lever mechanism specifically for their stands. Rather than relying on friction or basic latches, the lever system provides indexed positioning at exactly 16 different angles around the 360-degree arc. This means every position is deliberately engineered for stability, and the lever provides positive feedback when it engages, giving you confidence that your model is completely secure. It's a professional-grade solution that reflects Traxxas's commitment to quality.
- Will this stand protect my RC truck during storage? — Yes, this stand is ideal for storage. The non-slip foam pads on top protect your truck's body and paintwork from scratches. By keeping your vehicle elevated on the stand rather than resting it on its tyres, you prevent flat-spotting and protect the suspension from sustaining pressure marks. The stand keeps your model safely off the ground, away from dust, spills and accidental impacts, making it perfect for garage or shed storage between racing sessions.
- What is the blue anodising and why does it matter? — Anodising is an electrochemical process that transforms the surface of aluminium into a harder, more durable material that resists corrosion and wear. Unlike paint that can chip, anodised finishes become an integral part of the aluminium surface. The blue colour is permanent and will not fade or peel. This means your stand will maintain its appearance and protection against rust and corrosion for many years, even in damp workshop environments or if exposed to workshop chemicals.
