Key Features
- Billet Aluminium Construction — The stand is manufactured from premium billet aluminium, which provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior corrosion resistance compared to painted steel alternatives, ensuring your investment remains in excellent condition for years of use in any workshop environment.
- 6-Ton Weight Capacity — With a 6-ton scale capacity, this stand can safely support multiple RC models simultaneously or handle the repeated lifting cycles that come with intensive workshop sessions, giving you confidence in its load-bearing capability.
- Adjustable Scissor Mechanism — The adjustable design allows you to raise and lower your RC car to your preferred working height, reducing strain on your back and neck during extended maintenance sessions and enabling easier access to axles, suspension components, and chassis details.
- 1/10 Scale Optimisation — Purpose-designed for 1/10 scale RC cars, this stand integrates perfectly with the most popular RC car size in the UK hobby market, ensuring proper fitment and stability with your existing crawler, truck, or buggy.
- Professional Workshop Appeal — The realistic scale appearance makes this stand a genuine aesthetic addition to any RC pit setup or display area, while its functional engineering proves that scale accessories can be both authentic-looking and practically useful.
- Stable and Safe Operation — The scissor design distributes load evenly across the base, providing stability during the lifting process and preventing tip-over risk, making this stand safer to use than improvised lifting solutions.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax 6-Ton Scale Billet Aluminium Adjustable Scissor Stand demonstrates exceptional engineering quality throughout its construction. The use of billet aluminium as the primary material reflects the same design philosophy found in high-end RC components — selecting materials that deliver optimal performance for the intended purpose. Billet aluminium offers superior rigidity compared to hollow-tube construction, which translates to more stable lifting and reduced flex during operation. The 6-ton capacity rating indicates this stand has been engineered with a substantial safety margin above typical 1/10 scale RC car weights, meaning you can operate it confidently without concern for sudden failure. The adjustable scissor mechanism allows you to position your RC car at the most ergonomic working height, whether you're adjusting suspension geometry, performing axle maintenance, cleaning chassis components, or installing new parts. This adjustability is particularly valuable when working with different RC car types, as crawler bodies sit at different heights compared to stadium trucks or buggies. The stand's precision engineering ensures smooth operation through countless lift cycles, whether you're a weekend hobbyist performing monthly maintenance or a competitive RC racer doing pre-event setup checks throughout the racing season.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax scissor stand suitable for all 1/10 scale RC cars? — Yes, the adjustable design accommodates all standard 1/10 scale RC cars including crawlers, buggies, trucks, and truggy models. The 6-ton capacity rating provides ample safety margin for the weight of your RC vehicle regardless of whether you're running a lightweight off-road buggy or a more robust crawler configuration.
- What makes billet aluminium better than steel for a scissor stand? — Billet aluminium offers several advantages over painted steel construction. It naturally resists corrosion without requiring regular maintenance, remains significantly lighter whilst maintaining structural rigidity, and delivers the premium appearance that serious RC hobbyists expect. If you spill fuel, oil, or cleaning solvents in your workshop, aluminium construction ensures your stand won't rust or degrade.
- Can I use this stand with different RC car scales? — While this stand is specifically optimised for 1/10 scale models, the adjustable scissor mechanism may accommodate other RC scales depending on wheelbase and chassis dimensions. We recommend checking your specific model's dimensions against the stand's adjustment range before purchase.
- How does a scissor stand compare to ramps or other lifting methods? — A scissor stand provides superior ergonomics compared to working on ramps or lowered jack stands, as it allows precise height adjustment to suit your comfort and the task at hand. It also provides full 360-degree access to your RC car's undercarriage, suspension, and components, whereas ramps limit access angles. The stable four-point base prevents accidental tipping during operation, making it safer than improvised lifting solutions.
- Is assembly required? — The stand arrives fully assembled and ready to use immediately upon unboxing, allowing you to integrate it into your workshop setup without any additional tools or installation steps.
- What is the warranty coverage? — As an official Fastrax product purchased from an authorised UK retailer, this stand comes with the manufacturer's standard warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, protecting your investment.
