RPM73002

Overview

The RPM Pit-Pro Extreme Car Stand represents a revolutionary approach to RC car maintenance and setup, bringing genuine innovation to a product category that has remained largely unchanged for decades. If you're serious about getting the best performance from your 1/12 to 1/8 scale RC car in the UK, this stand is an essential workshop tool that will transform how you work on your model. Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning suspension geometry, a weekend basher performing routine maintenance, or an RC enthusiast who simply wants to keep your car in pristine condition, the Pit-Pro Extreme delivers versatility and functionality that no other pit stand on the market can match.

Car stands have traditionally been one-dimensional tools—you put your RC car on them, and that was about it. The RPM Pit-Pro Extreme changes everything by introducing unprecedented levels of adjustability and control. This isn't just a stand; it's a complete workstation that adapts to your vehicle, your working style, and your specific maintenance or tuning needs. The engineering is genuinely thoughtful, with dozens of adjustment points that allow you to position your RC car exactly how you need it, whether you're inspecting the undercarriage, adjusting camber and suspension geometry, replacing components, or simply displaying your pride and joy.

Manufactured in the USA to exacting standards, the Pit-Pro Extreme is built from an extremely chemical-resistant material that won't degrade when exposed to motor sprays, cleaners, degreasers, and other common workshop solvents that are part of regular RC car maintenance. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand quality tools that can withstand intensive use and chemical exposure over years of service, this stand represents exceptional value and durability.

Key Features

• 360-Degree Rotation with 45-Degree Tilt Capability — The adjustable support arms sit on a swivel platform that allows your vehicle to rotate through a complete 360 degrees, meaning you can access every angle of your RC car without moving it from the stand. Combined with the ability to tilt by up to 45 degrees, this gives you unprecedented access to undercarriages, suspension components, and hard-to-reach areas that would be difficult or impossible to reach with a conventional stand. The tilt angle is easily locked down with an included wing nut, so once you've positioned your car at the perfect working angle, it stays exactly where you put it.
• 28 Different Mounting Points — The infinitely adjustable support arms feature 28 different mounting points for the support posts, providing exceptional versatility to accommodate vehicles of different shapes, sizes, and configurations. This means whether your RC car has a flat chassis plate, a semi-flat design, battery channels running down the centre, or a completely different layout, you'll find the perfect mounting position to secure your vehicle safely and securely.
• Infinitely Adjustable Support Arms — The support arms sweep out from approximately 2.125 inches (54mm) all the way to roughly 6.125 inches (155mm), giving you maximum flexibility to accommodate everything from compact 1/12 scale vehicles to larger 1/8 scale models and beyond. This adjustability means a single stand can work with virtually any flat or semi-flat chassis plate configuration currently available.
• Ultra-Wide Stable Base Design — The base features four load-spreading legs that can be moved to any position required, and when positioned at their most stable setting, they span over 11.875 inches (302mm) wide—wider than nearly any other pit stand currently available on the market. This exceptional width provides outstanding stability, ensuring your RC car won't tip over or shift during maintenance work, even when you're applying force while removing fasteners or adjusting components.
• Tool-Free Assembly and Compact Storage — The top of the stand slips off without any tools whatsoever, and the four legs fold in for convenient storage, transforming this seemingly substantial workstation into a package that's actually smaller than most other car stands. In its storage position, the entire stand compresses to just 7.25 inches by 5.5 inches by 2.75 inches (184mm x 140mm x 70mm), small enough to fit into a shelf space, storage box, or transportation case with room to spare, yet it expands to provide a robust 5-inch-tall (125mm) working platform.
• Chemical Resistance — The stand is moulded from an extremely chemical-resistant material that won't degrade, discolour, or become brittle when exposed to motor sprays, degreasers, cleaners, and solvents—the everyday products used in RC car maintenance. This durability ensures the stand will maintain its structural integrity and appearance for years of intensive workshop use, even in the hands of enthusiasts who don't always rinse components immediately after applying solvents.
• Non-Slip Pads Included — Twelve soft, self-adhesive, slip-free pads are included for both the legs and the adjustable support arms, preventing your vehicle from moving or sliding on the stand whilst you're working on it, and preventing the stand itself from creeping across your workbench. These pads provide positive grip without scratching delicate paint or decals on your RC car.
• Heavy-Duty Wing Nut Locking System — The tilt angle is controlled and locked down with an included wing nut, making it simple to adjust your working angle and then secure it against accidental movement, whilst the design allows quick adjustment when you need to change your working position.

Technical Performance

The RPM Pit-Pro Extreme is engineered with meticulous attention to detail and built from high-quality materials designed specifically for the demands of RC car maintenance and workshop use. The construction utilises an extremely chemical-resistant polymer material throughout the main structure, ensuring compatibility with the full range of solvents, degreasers, and cleaning products that RC enthusiasts use during regular maintenance. The four load-spreading legs work in concert with the ultra-wide base design to create a centre of gravity that's extremely low and stable, meaning even when you're applying considerable force to your vehicle whilst removing fasteners or adjusting suspension components, the stand won't tip, rock, or shift. The swivel platform mechanism is engineered for smooth, reliable 360-degree rotation with zero binding or sticking, and the tilt mechanism provides precise angular adjustment that can be locked down with the wing nut to eliminate any movement once you've found your ideal working angle. The 28 mounting points are positioned with mathematical precision to ensure that whether you're using the stand with a compact 1/12 scale vehicle or a larger 1/8 scale RC car, you'll always find a configuration that securely and safely supports your model. The infinitely adjustable support arms can transition smoothly from 2.125 inches to 6.125 inches of sweep, accommodating chassis widths across the entire spectrum of modern RC car designs. The included non-slip pads are engineered to provide positive friction without chemical reaction to common solvents, creating a secure interface between the stand and your vehicle whilst protecting your investment from damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which RC car scales does the RPM Pit-Pro Extreme fit? — The stand is designed to fit virtually any 1/12 to 1/8 scale chassis and many larger models. It's compatible with most flat or semi-flat chassis plates, whether they have centre battery channels or not. However, it may not work with ladder-style or TVP (Top View Platform) style chassis designs due to their different structural configuration. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific RC car, contact our expert team here at RC Model Shop for advice.
• Can the tilt angle really reach 45 degrees with any RC car? — The maximum tilt angle varies depending on the weight and width of your vehicle and any features installed on it. Generally, higher tilt angles are achievable when vehicle tyres are removed, and the tilt angle is also limited by the overall weight of your model. RPM recommends offsetting the support arms towards the high side if you want to achieve the maximum tilt angle. With lighter vehicles and optimal positioning, you can approach the 45-degree maximum, but heavier vehicles will naturally tilt to a lesser degree due to gravitational forces.
• Is the stand really impervious to all chemicals? — The stand itself is moulded from an extremely chemical-resistant material that will resist motor sprays, cleaners, degreasers, and most common workshop solvents without degradation. However, the small non-slip pads included with the stand have limited chemical resistance, so you should use caution to prevent strong cleaners from attacking the adhesive or rubber material of the pads. If you're using particularly aggressive solvents, it's wise to rinse the stand afterwards to prevent pad damage.
• How much storage space does the stand take up when folded? — The folded dimensions are remarkably compact at just 7.25 inches long by 5.5 inches wide by 2.75 inches tall (184mm x 140mm x 70mm). This is actually smaller than most other car stands currently available, so it will fit easily on a shelf, in a storage box, underneath a workbench, or in a transport case alongside your RC car and other equipment. Despite its compact storage footprint, it expands to a substantial 5-inch-tall working platform with an 11.875-inch-wide base.
• Can I use the stand on a carpeted workshop floor? — The included non-slip pads will provide good grip on carpet as well as hard floors, preventing the stand from creeping across your workshop surface. However, the 11.875-inch-wide base naturally provides exceptional stability regardless of floor surface, so you shouldn't experience any tipping or shifting even on softer surfaces.
• How does the 360-degree rotation work? — The support arms sit on top of a swivel platform that allows smooth, unrestricted 360-degree rotation, meaning you can access every angle of your RC car without lifting it from the stand or moving the stand itself. This is particularly valuable when you're working on suspension geometry, tyre removal, or undercarriage inspection, as you can simply rotate your car rather than reaching awkwardly.
• Are tools needed to set up or adjust the stand? — No—the top section slips off without any tools, and the legs fold in without requiring screwdrivers, wrenches, or any additional implements. The tilt angle is adjusted and locked with the included wing nut, which can be tightened by hand. This tool-free design means you can set up, adjust, and store the stand in seconds.
• What makes this stand different from cheaper pit stands available in the UK? — The Pit-Pro Extreme combines several design innovations that simply don't exist on budget pit stands: the 360-degree swivel rotation, the up-to-45-degree tilt capability, the 28 different mounting points for infinite adjustability, the ultra-wide 11.875-inch base, the chemical-resistant construction, and the tool-free folding design. Most budget stands offer basic flat support with minimal adjustment options. The Pit-Pro Extreme provides a premium workstation that adapts to your specific needs, your vehicle configuration, and your working style. It's the difference between a basic stand that holds your car and a professional-grade tool that genuinely enhances your ability to maintain and tune your RC car.
