This stand delivers on both fronts, making it an indispensable addition to any RC car enthusiast's pit setup in the UK and beyond.
The Fastrax pit stand is suitable for both on-road and off-road vehicles across the popular 1/10th and 1/8th scales, making it genuinely universal in its application. From electric 1/10th touring cars to brushless 1/8th buggies and everything in between, this stand accommodates your RC models with equal competence. Its thoughtful engineering ensures that whether you're maintaining a high-speed racing machine or a crawling rock bouncer, you have a dependable platform for all your workshop needs.
Key Features
- Anodised Aluminium Construction — The stand is built from anodised aluminium, which provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior corrosion resistance compared to plastic alternatives. This means your investment will last for years, standing up to the rigours of a busy workshop environment without degrading, rusting, or losing its structural integrity.
- Magnetic Strip for Tool Organisation — A magnetic side strip runs along the stand, allowing you to safely hold loose fasteners, screws, springs, and small metal tools exactly where you need them. This innovative feature prevents the frustration of losing crucial components during maintenance and keeps your workspace organised, ensuring nothing rolls away or gets misplaced during those intricate RC car adjustments.
- Rubber Feet for Stability — The stand features rubber feet that grip your workbench or floor surface, providing reliable stability and preventing the stand from sliding or shifting whilst you're working on your vehicle. This security is essential when you're applying force during suspension adjustments, drivetrain work, or body shell removal, ensuring safe and controlled work conditions.
- Universal Compatibility — Engineered to accommodate both 1/10th scale and 1/8th scale RC vehicles across on-road and off-road categories, this stand works with touring cars, buggies, truggy platforms, crawlers, and virtually any RC car that falls within these popular scales. This versatility means one purchase covers all your current and future RC models.
- Compact and Portable Design — Despite its robust construction, the stand maintains a practical size that fits comfortably in workshops of any size, and it's light enough to move between locations if needed, making it ideal for both home workshops and RC clubs across the UK.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Universal Aluminium Car Stand Purple demonstrates excellent engineering throughout its construction. The anodised aluminium chassis provides a perfect balance between rigidity and weight, ensuring the stand remains absolutely stable when your RC car is mounted for maintenance work. The anodising process adds a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion from workshop humidity, spilled fuel, oils, and other substances commonly encountered in active RC hobby spaces. The rubber feet are engineered with sufficient grip coefficient to prevent sliding on both smooth workbenches and textured surfaces, whilst remaining gentle enough not to mark your furniture. The magnetic strip utilises quality magnet technology sufficient to hold standard steel fasteners, screws, and tool tips securely in place without requiring excessive magnetic force that could scatter small components. The overall construction quality reflects Fastrax's reputation as a manufacturer of reliable RC accessories, with attention paid to both functional performance and longevity. This is a precision tool for your RC workshop, not a disposable accessory—it's designed to support countless hours of maintenance, tuning, and repairs across your collection of 1/10th and 1/8th scale vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax car stand suitable for all RC scales? — The stand is specifically engineered for 1/10th and 1/8th scale RC vehicles, covering the most popular scales in the UK RC hobby market. These scales encompass touring cars, buggies, truggies, crawlers, and off-road models, making the stand universally compatible within these size ranges. If you have smaller 1/16th scale models or larger 1/6th scale vehicles, you may need a different stand designed for those scales.
- Will this stand work for both on-road and off-road RC cars? — Yes, absolutely. The Fastrax stand is designed to accommodate both on-road vehicles such as touring cars and drift cars, as well as off-road models including buggies, crawlers, and monster trucks. The universal mounting approach means it securely holds any 1/10th or 1/8th scale RC car regardless of the vehicle type or driving discipline.
- How does the magnetic strip help during RC car maintenance? — When you're working on your RC vehicle, you'll frequently need to remove small components—screws, springs, suspension links, and other fasteners. The magnetic strip keeps these items organised and visible, preventing them from rolling away under your workbench or getting lost in carpet. This is particularly valuable when performing suspension setup, drivetrain maintenance, or body shell work, where you might remove several screws in sequence.
- Can the stand accommodate different body shell heights? — The stand's universal design works with the standard chassis geometry of both 1/10th and 1/8th scale RC vehicles, meaning it will securely hold cars with various body shell heights and designs. The stand positions your vehicle at a convenient working height that's comfortable for maintenance work on the chassis and mechanical components.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. If you're new to the RC car hobby in the UK, a proper car stand is one of your first essential purchases. It transforms your maintenance experience by providing a stable platform, keeping your tools organised, and preventing frustration when small components go missing. Beginners and experienced racers alike benefit equally from this practical workshop tool.
- Why choose aluminium over plastic for a car stand? — Aluminium construction offers superior durability, better heat dissipation if you're working on warm motors or ESCs, and greater rigidity under load. The anodised finish provides corrosion resistance in humid workshop environments and withstands the occasional spill of fuel, oil, or cleaning solvents better than plastic alternatives. Over the lifetime of your RC hobby, an aluminium stand represents better value and reliability.
- What is the difference between this Fastrax stand and other car stands available? — The Fastrax stand combines three essential features: quality anodised aluminium construction for durability, a practical magnetic tool strip for organisation, and rubber feet for stability. This combination makes it an excellent all-round choice for serious hobbyists. The purple anodised finish also provides a distinctive aesthetic that stands out in any workshop.
