Just pushed her together and painted. I did not de-bur the PVC after cutting so it went together nice and tight.
Again, thanks for your post. This is really a nice stand and for the price it can't be beat!

Gonna paint at least one of mine tonight...
Oh... got a Home Depot gift certificate for Christmas (did my side of the fam Christmas bash yesterday... still one more to go on the 25th).... so I went out and bought a new RC tool box... one with wheels and a handle... and some little divider bins and paint etc....
Gonna try the oven cleaner thing on the Stock Savy X wheels and then paint them flat black and put a set of mulcher tires on them.
Busy busy busy!!!

Total spent...under $5 for each stand. I've built (3) so far and 9" is better than 8.5" because it's a tighter fit against the control arms.
I've broken in a few engines on these stands. It's great for running through that first (2) tanks.
I never glue mine. I just pull them apart and throw them in the travel bag. Assemble at location in no time.

RE: Built my Savage Work Stand tonight...
pvc is great stuff for projects like this
I've used it to make display stands for my nitro boats
and separate transport stands too
i screwed a thin sheet of aluminum to the underside of the base and made carry handles out of rope and i can haul tools/batteries/fuel/starters/whatever along with the boat where ever i go.
don't see why the same thing would not work for trucks

RE: Built my Savage Work Stand tonight...
just wanted to add my two cents. here is the stand i built. go ahead and copy, woot! 3/4 pvc gluded and painted with plastic paint that you would use on outdoor lawn furniture. all parts found at the homedepot.
i didnt glue the center posts so i could store it when not in use.
