Overview
The Traxxas 1:10 - 1:18 RC Car/Truck Aluminium Stand in brilliant blue is an essential workbench accessory for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK. Whether you're maintaining your latest brushless RC monster truck, performing scheduled maintenance on your RC buggy, or simply storing your collection safely, this professional-grade stand delivers the stability and precision you need. Designed to fit almost any 1/10 and 1/8 scale vehicle, the stand is engineered with high-quality aluminium construction and anodised with a striking blue finish that looks great in any workshop or hobby room.
This isn't just a storage solution—it's a comprehensive work platform that prevents your tyres from flat-spotting during storage, allows you to rotate and inspect your RC car from every angle, and provides the perfect platform for cleaning, repairs and upgrades. The stand features non-slip foam pads on both the top and bottom to protect your vehicle's paint and bodywork whilst keeping the stand firmly in place on your workbench. For anyone serious about their RC hobby in the UK, from weekend bashers to competitive racers, this Traxxas stand is an investment in both functionality and longevity.
What makes this stand particularly clever is its versatility. It's engineered for the full range of Traxxas 1/10 to 1/8 scale vehicles, but thanks to optional foam inserts (sold separately), you can also use it with smaller 1/18 scale LaTrax and 1/16 scale Traxxas models. This means one quality stand can grow with your collection as you expand into different scale RC vehicles.
Key Features
- Engineered for 1/10 to 1/8 Scale Vehicles — The stand is specifically designed to securely hold the full range of Traxxas 1/10 and 1/8 scale RC cars and trucks, making it the ideal choice for owners of popular Traxxas ready-to-run and race kit vehicles.
- Full 360° Rotation on Dual Ball Bearings — The rotating top plate features dual ball bearings that enable smooth, precise 360-degree rotation, allowing you to inspect and work on every side of your RC vehicle without lifting or repositioning it, ensuring professional-quality access to all angles.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas aluminium RC stand represents professional-grade engineering designed specifically for the demands of RC vehicle maintenance and storage. Built from high-quality aluminium with precision anodising, the stand offers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance that will withstand years of workshop use. The dual ball bearing rotating system is engineered for smooth, precise action that requires minimal effort, making 360-degree rotation effortless during inspections and maintenance tasks. The exclusive 16-position locking lever mechanism provides fine-tuned control, allowing you to lock your vehicle at any angle you choose with positive, audible detents that prevent unwanted movement or slipping. The non-slip foam pads serve a dual purpose: they protect your RC car or truck's paint and bodywork from workshop scratches, whilst simultaneously anchoring the stand securely to your workbench, preventing lateral movement during delicate maintenance operations. With its engineered compatibility for 1/10 and 1/8 scale vehicles—the most popular scales in UK RC circles—this stand covers the vast majority of modern Traxxas ready-to-run and competition vehicles. The brilliant blue anodised finish is not merely cosmetic; anodising provides hard surface protection against wear, impact damage and oxidation, ensuring the stand maintains its appearance and structural integrity throughout its service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this the right stand for my Traxxas RC car? — Yes, if you own any Traxxas 1/10 or 1/8 scale vehicle, this stand is engineered specifically for your model. The stand accommodates the full range of Traxxas vehicles in these scales, from Slash and Stampede models to Maxx and E-Revo platforms. If you own smaller 1/18 scale models like the TRX-4M, you can upgrade with optional foam inserts (8794) to expand compatibility.
- Will the stand scratch my RC car's paint or body? — No, the stand features non-slip foam pads on the top contact surface specifically designed to protect your vehicle's bodywork and paint from scratches and marks. These soft pads grip your model securely whilst remaining gentle on all paint finishes and plastic body shells.
- Can I use this stand to prevent tyre flat-spotting during storage? — Yes, this is one of the stand's key benefits. The protective foam pads elevate your RC car or truck completely off your workbench surface, removing any weight and pressure from the tyres during storage. This prevents flat-spotting, ensuring your tyres maintain their shape and performance characteristics for many seasons of use.
- How many different positions can I lock the stand in? — The exclusive Traxxas locking lever provides 16 different locking positions, giving you precise control over the angle at which your vehicle is held. Whether you need near-vertical access to the underside, horizontal positioning for detailed inspection, or any angle in between, you'll find a position that suits your work.
- Can I use this stand with smaller RC models? — The stand is engineered for 1/10 and 1/8 scale vehicles by default, but Traxxas makes optional foam inserts (Part 8794, sold separately) that allow you to use the stand with 1/18 scale LaTrax models and 1/16 scale Traxxas vehicles, making it a truly versatile platform for multiple scales.
- Is the stand stable during use? — Absolutely. The stand features non-slip foam pads on the bottom that firmly anchor it to your workbench, preventing any lateral movement or slipping during maintenance or inspection. The dual ball bearing rotating system is smooth but not loose—it provides controlled rotation without unwanted movement when locked in position with the 16-position locking lever.
- What is the difference between this stand and competitors' offerings? — The Traxxas stand is specifically engineered for Traxxas vehicles and features the exclusive 16-position locking lever design, providing more positional control than basic stands. The dual ball bearing system ensures smooth operation, whilst the anodised aluminium construction offers superior durability. The additional compatibility with optional foam inserts and TRX-4M display stands makes this a more versatile long-term investment.
- Will this stand work on any workbench? — Yes, the non-slip foam pads on the base work effectively on most workbench surfaces including wood, laminate and metal. The stand is designed to remain stable and secure without slipping, even with the weight of larger 1/8 scale vehicles.
