Overview
The Fastrax 6-Ton Adjustable Height Metal Jack Stand (2pc) is an essential workshop accessory for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK who works on scale crawler models and RC cars. Whether you're a dedicated 1/10 scale crawler owner, a competition-level racer, or simply someone who enjoys maintaining and tuning their RC vehicles, these professional-grade jack stands provide the stability and safety you need when working underneath your models. This two-piece set offers genuine metal construction combined with adjustable height functionality, making it the perfect tool for anyone who wants to elevate their RC car maintenance routine to the next level.
Designed specifically for RC scale models, these jack stands deliver workshop-quality support without the bulk or expense of full-sized equipment. The adjustable height feature means you can position your RC car at the exact working height that suits your needs, whether you're inspecting suspension components, replacing tyres, or performing complex mechanical adjustments. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who take their hobby seriously, having proper support equipment like these metal jack stands demonstrates a commitment to safe, professional-standard maintenance practices. This is the kind of accessory that separates casual hobbyists from dedicated modellers who understand the importance of proper workshop setup.

The two-piece configuration means you have balanced support for your vehicle, distributing weight evenly and reducing the risk of tipping or instability. Whether you're working on a valuable competition-grade RC crawler, an expensive brushless-powered off-road buggy, or simply want to protect your investment, these adjustable metal jack stands are a worthwhile addition to any RC car UK workshop setup.
Key Features
- 6-Ton Weight Capacity — With a 6-ton maximum load rating, these jack stands can safely support multiple RC vehicles simultaneously or provide generous headroom for heavier scale models, giving you complete peace of mind when working on your collection without any worry about weight limits.
- Adjustable Height Design — The adjustable height mechanism allows you to position your RC car at precisely the working height you need, whether you're performing detailed suspension work, replacing tyres, or simply inspecting hard-to-reach components, eliminating the frustration of working at uncomfortable angles.
- Genuine Metal Construction — Unlike plastic or mixed-material alternatives, these stands are built from quality metal throughout, providing superior rigidity, durability and longevity that will last for years of regular workshop use without degradation or stress cracks.
- Two-Piece Set for Balanced Support — The set includes two stands, allowing you to safely support your RC vehicle with balanced, symmetrical weight distribution that minimises tipping risk and ensures maximum stability during maintenance work of any kind.
- Purpose-Built for Scale RC Models — These stands are specifically engineered for 1/10 scale RC vehicles and crawler models, with dimensions and load characteristics optimised for the actual size and weight ranges of popular RC car UK platforms, rather than being undersized toy-grade equipment.
- Professional Workshop Quality — The engineering and construction quality matches that of professional automotive workshop equipment, giving you genuine professional-standard support without paying for full-sized jack stand pricing.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax 6-Ton Adjustable Height Metal Jack Stand set represents proper engineering applied to RC hobby workshop equipment. Constructed entirely from quality metal materials, these stands offer the rigidity and durability that plastic or hybrid designs simply cannot match. The 6-ton weight capacity provides substantial safety margin for 1/10 scale RC crawlers, off-road buggies, short course trucks and other popular RC vehicle types, allowing you to work with complete confidence that your investment is secure and supported. The adjustable height mechanism is engineered to lock securely at your chosen working height, preventing any drift or unexpected lowering whilst you're underneath the vehicle performing delicate suspension adjustments, replacing components, or inspecting wear patterns. Unlike basic fixed-height stands, the adjustable design means a single pair of stands can accommodate vehicles of different ride heights and suspension setups, from lowered race cars to lifted crawlers with elevated suspension geometry. The metal-throughout construction ensures these stands will remain true and parallel under load, with no flex or binding that could create safety concerns or make precise work difficult. Whether you're working on valuable competition-grade equipment or everyday bashers, the professional workshop quality of these Fastrax stands sets the standard for RC car UK enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on safety or build quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this suitable for all 1/10 scale RC cars and crawlers? — Yes, these adjustable height metal jack stands are designed specifically for 1/10 scale RC vehicles including crawlers, off-road buggies, short course trucks and similar models. The adjustable height feature means they accommodate different vehicle ride heights and suspension setups, making them versatile for any 1/10 scale platform in your collection.
- Why are metal jack stands better than plastic alternatives? — Metal construction provides superior rigidity, stability and durability compared to plastic or hybrid designs. Metal stands won't flex under load, won't develop stress cracks over time, and maintain their precision geometry session after session. When you're working underneath your RC investment, metal construction gives you confidence and safety that cheaper plastic alternatives cannot provide.
- What is the maximum weight these stands can support? — These stands have a 6-ton weight capacity, providing substantial safety margin for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. This generous capacity means you can safely support even heavier crawler builds or multiple vehicles simultaneously if needed, ensuring you'll never exceed the design limits during normal hobby use.
- Can I adjust the height whilst the vehicle is supported? — The stands feature secure locking at your chosen height. Always work with the stands locked in position and never adjust height whilst a vehicle is supported on them. Always ensure both stands are at equal height for balanced, symmetrical support that minimises tipping risk.
- Why do I need two stands instead of one? — Two stands provide balanced, symmetrical weight distribution that maximises stability and minimises tipping risk. Using both stands ensures your RC vehicle is supported safely without tilting to one side, which is essential for safe work underneath the vehicle or when performing suspension adjustments.
- What maintenance do these metal stands require? — Metal stands are virtually maintenance-free. Occasionally wipe away dust and workshop debris with a dry cloth. Store in a dry location to prevent rust or corrosion. The robust metal construction means these stands will provide reliable service for years with minimal care, making them excellent value for money.
