The Fastrax maintenance stand transforms your repair workflow by providing stable, adjustable positioning combined with smart organisation features.

Available in eye-catching purple, the FAST407P combines form with exceptional function. It's designed specifically for 1/8 buggies, truggies, and other 1/10th and 1/8th scale off-road vehicles, making it an indispensable tool for anyone serious about RC car maintenance and setup tuning.
Key Features
- 360-Degree Rotating Platform with Ball Bearing Support — The stand features smooth, continuous rotation supported by precision 22mm x 8mm ball bearings, allowing you to reach every angle of your RC car without lifting or repositioning it, saving time and reducing the risk of dropping components.
- Eight Locking Positions for Secure Angled Work — The rotating top shelf can be locked into any of eight indexed positions, allowing you to perform detailed tasks without the foam-padded plate moving unexpectedly, providing stability when you need precision work on suspension or drivetrain components.
- Dual-Function Shock Building Station — One side of the stand features integrated support holes specifically designed for shock building and servicing, accommodating shock shafts up to 4.5mm in diameter, making it easy to work on suspension without additional equipment.
- Integrated Magnetic Strip for Hardware Organisation — The built-in magnetic strip along the base securely holds small metal parts such as screws, washers, ball bearings, and tools, ensuring vital components don't roll off your workbench and get lost during disassembly and reassembly.
- Premium Anodised Aluminium Construction — CNC-machined from lightweight yet rigid anodised aluminium, the stand provides durability and longevity whilst remaining portable enough to move around your workspace or store in a hobby bag.
- Foam-Padded Top Plate — The rotating top plate features foam padding that protects your RC car's chassis and bodywork from scratches and damage during maintenance, keeping your model in pristine condition.
- Non-Slip Rubber Feet — Integrated rubber pads on the base prevent the stand from slipping on smooth workshop surfaces, ensuring safe and stable positioning during even the most demanding maintenance tasks.
- Tool Storage Section — Easy access storage on one side of the stand keeps your tools and small parts organised and within arm's reach, reducing downtime when swapping tools during repairs.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax FAST407P is engineered from CNC-machined anodised aluminium, delivering a perfect balance of lightweight portability and rigid strength. The precision ball bearing turntable (22mm x 8mm) enables smooth 360-degree rotation with minimal friction, ensuring the platform moves effortlessly when unlocked but holds position securely when locked into any of the eight indexed detents. The stand measures 175mm x 155mm in base area with a height of 95mm, providing a compact footprint suitable for most RC workbenches whilst offering sufficient elevation for comfortable access to your model. The integrated shock building station accommodates shock shafts up to 4.5mm in diameter, covering the vast majority of modern 1/8 scale RC buggies and truggies. The magnetic strip is sufficiently powerful to securely hold standard steel fasteners and tools, preventing them from sliding off during use. The foam padding on the rotating top plate is approximately 95mm in surface area, providing adequate support for 1/10th and 1/8th scale vehicles without excessive compression, and the non-slip rubber feet are strategically positioned to prevent movement on laminate, wood, or polished workshop surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this maintenance stand suitable for my 1/8 RC buggy or truggy? — Yes, the Fastrax FAST407P is specifically designed for 1/8 buggies and truggies, and is also compatible with 1/10th scale on-road and off-road vehicles. The stand's 175mm x 155mm base provides sufficient support for most chassis designs in these scales.
- What size shock shafts does the shock building station support? — The integrated shock building station on the stand accommodates shock shafts up to 4.5mm in diameter, which covers the vast majority of modern RC shocks used in 1/8 and 1/10 scale vehicles.
- Does the magnetic strip work with plastic and composite parts? — The magnetic strip is designed to hold steel and iron fasteners such as screws, bolts, ball bearings, and metal tools. Plastic parts and composite components will not be attracted to the magnet, so you'll want to store those in the tool storage section on the opposite side of the stand.
- Can I use this stand for 1/5 or larger scale RC models? — No, this stand is specifically designed for 1/10th and 1/8th scale vehicles. Larger models would exceed the weight capacity and base area of the stand, potentially causing instability.
- How secure is the rotating platform when locked in position? — The eight locking positions provide a secure indexed hold with no drift or movement when engaged. The precision ball bearings ensure smooth operation, and when locked, the mechanical detent system prevents unintended rotation during work.
- Does the stand require assembly? — No, the Fastrax FAST407P comes fully assembled and ready to use out of the box. Simply place it on your workbench and start using it immediately.
- What is the difference between this purple stand and similar maintenance stands available? — The Fastrax FAST407P stands out with its combination of eight locking positions (allowing more precise angled access than stands with fewer positions), integrated shock building station, magnetic hardware strip, tool storage section, and premium anodised aluminium construction. This comprehensive feature set at a competitive price point makes it exceptional value compared to basic rotating stands.
- Is this stand suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The intuitive design requires no technical knowledge to use. Beginners will appreciate the intuitive rotation, the security of the locking positions, and the helpful magnetic strip that prevents losing small parts during their first maintenance projects.
