Key Features
- Bearing Supported Rotating Upper Stand — The main platform rotates smoothly on precision bearings, allowing you to turn your RC vehicle to any angle without straining your back or neck, making maintenance and inspection significantly easier and more ergonomic.
- Adjustable Height Mechanism — The stand height can be adjusted to suit your working position, meaning you can position your RC car at the perfect level whether you're sitting or standing, reducing fatigue during extended maintenance sessions.
- Incremental Locking System — Once you've rotated to your desired working angle, the stand locks in place securely, ensuring your RC vehicle remains stable and won't slip during detailed work on shocks, electronics, or chassis components.
- Dual Shock Building Stations — Both sides feature dedicated shock building stations that can support shocks via their shafts or shock bodies, enabling you to work on front and rear shocks with dedicated support.
- Rotating Shock Holder Jig — A mounted rotating moulded jig accommodates 11mm, 13mm, and 17mm diameter shock bodies, covering the vast majority of shock sizes used across popular RC platforms including Traxxas, ARRMA, Team Associated, Losi, and other leading brands.
- Magnetic Parts Tray — Steel hardware, fasteners, and small metal components stay exactly where you place them thanks to the magnetic base, eliminating the frustration of lost screws and tiny parts rolling across your workshop.
- Integrated Soldering Station — A dedicated jig is provided for connectors and plugs that need soldering, keeping your electrical work organised and preventing accidental damage to other stand components.
- Metric and Imperial Rule — Built-in measurement guides in both metric and imperial units help you take precise measurements during setup and tuning, essential for competitive RC racing and precise vehicle configuration.
- Anodised Aluminium Construction — The entire stand is built from anodised aluminium, providing exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability that will withstand years of workshop use without degradation.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Deluxe Aluminium Rotating Maintenance Stand represents the pinnacle of workshop engineering for RC car UK enthusiasts and serious competitors alike. Constructed throughout from precision-engineered anodised aluminium, this stand combines lightweight durability with professional-grade strength. The bearing-supported rotating upper plate turns smoothly and locks incrementally, providing rock-solid stability once positioned. The adjustable height mechanism means the stand adapts to your workspace and working preference, whether you need it at table height for detailed electrical work or lower for full-vehicle inspection. The anodising process protects the aluminium from corrosion, oxidation, and the inevitable spills and scratches that occur in any active workshop environment. The magnetic parts tray features a powerful enough hold to keep ferrous metal components secure during vehicle rotation, whilst the integrated shock building stations with 11mm, 13mm, and 17mm accommodation covers nearly every shock type on the market. The moulded jig for shock bodies is precision-formed to prevent damage whilst providing secure support. Built for serious wrenchers and competition-grade RC work, this stand will handle years of intensive use without flex, wobble, or degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax Deluxe Maintenance Stand suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. Whilst the stand is professional-grade and used by serious competitors, its intuitive design and multiple functionality makes it perfect for beginners who want to learn proper maintenance techniques. The shock building stations, magnetic parts tray, and organised layout actually make maintenance easier and more educational for newcomers to the RC hobby.
- What types of RC vehicles can I work on with this stand? — The Fastrax stand is universally compatible with most RC cars, trucks, and buggies. The adjustable height and rotating platform accommodate vehicles from 1/10 scale buggies through to larger crawlers and monster trucks. The shock building stations work with any shock using 11mm, 13mm, or 17mm diameter bodies, which covers Traxxas, ARRMA, Team Associated, Losi, Team Losi Racing, HPI, Mugen, Axial, and other major RC brands.
- Does this stand require any additional assembly? — No, the stand arrives fully assembled and ready to use immediately. Simply place it on your workbench, plug in your soldering iron into the integrated station, and begin working on your RC vehicle.
- Can I use the soldering station for battery connector work? — Yes, the integrated soldering station jig is specifically designed for connectors and plugs, making it ideal for XT90, XT60, Dean's connectors, and other RC battery connectors that require soldering. The dedicated jig keeps everything organised and prevents accidental damage to stand components.
- What's the difference between this Fastrax stand and cheaper alternatives? — The Fastrax Deluxe stand uses precision bearings for smooth rotation, anodised aluminium construction for durability, incremental locking for safety, and integrates multiple workshop functions (shock building, soldering, parts storage) into one cohesive unit. Cheaper stands typically lack the bearing support, use lower-grade materials, and don't provide the same level of functionality and organisation. The Fastrax is an investment in workshop efficiency and safety.
- How stable is the stand during vehicle rotation? — Extremely stable. The bearing-supported design allows smooth, effortless rotation whilst the incremental locking mechanism secures the stand position once set. You can safely work on detailed tasks like shock installation, electronic adjustment, or connector soldering without worrying about movement or wobble.
