is there a work stand (like the homebuilt ones) that can be made to hold the revo 3.3 upside down and right side up thank you

grab a $2 stick of small PVC, some Tee's and some elbows and just play around, dry fit before gluing and you should be good to go... the only other things needed are any glue, and a hack saw or any other kind of saw...

i cut a 2x4 in 3 pieces about a foot and half long and screwed them all together.. it works great, and for it being upside down, i just prop it against the stand, works good for me!!!

I have 2 of the Y-Factor stand from Extreme Standz. Worth every penny IMO. You can put a Revo upside down in the stand no problem.
Here's a link...

Cool man!!! I like that one that u have!!! Where did u get it from? Only reason I ask is cause I may have to look into getting the same one as I like how it can spin in either direction and u can lower and raise it pretty easily....[8D][8D]

That's home made. Two pipes (one a size amaller than the other to fit inside) Weld two plates on and drill and tap a hole into the outer pipe and get a wing-nut/thunb screw to fit the new hole and you have that stand.

Or if you're not a welder you can get the stuff you need from any Home Depot/Lowes in the plumbing dept. Just use iron pipe and you can get mounting bases and pipe that will just screw togeather - you will still need to drill and tap a hole for the hieght adjusting screw though.
Material costs will be well under $20 and assembly time probably no more than a couple of hours.

Edit:
You colud also look around and find something (or make something) that will allow the top plate to articulate to let you turn it at different angles (you know, so you could tilt the truck toward you) to make it wasier to work on from a sitting position. On that one you'll have to stand over it to work, which might be somewhat inconvient to reach/work on at times

matts6887

Well, I will have to consider that before I make a decision on whether o or not to make one myself, or look for one that is already assembled and put together....

i am not very good at designing. if someone would get me some blueprints that would be AWESOME. i did a search and there is a couple pvc ones that i like.....

choppaholix

Thanx guy's. I did built it my self and just like daveg55 explain that how i did it. One piece of pipe 13''long/ the inner one is a bit taller by a 1/2'' and it is a solid piece and a piece of plate on top welded on,and same for the outer pipe except the plate has two holes 5/16'' for bolt down on my work table i dont have pic's right now but i'll post some later if you guys want me too.Oh and i can raise it 22-1/2'' off my table.

TMaxxDriver

you never cease to amaze me choppa! I am going to use your idea, and put it to use and fabricate a stand like that of my own.. also, i like your rig.. the one with the Savvy body.. pretty clever.

matts6887

Yep, chopp; I too like ur stand!!! but like one of the others mentioned; if u or someone else could put together some blueprints or something for one that would be great!!! because then we/I would at least have that to follow....let me and anyone else who wants to know, if someone can somehow make up some blueprints or diagrams of some sort to make one....[8D][8D]

heres one i made, got the idea from a guy on ebay, cant remember the name.

choppaholix

Thanx buddy!!

matts6887

Same here!! I think ur idea is very cool!!! Very slick man!!! U should make something like that and consider marketing something like that if no one else has already marketed something simialr!!! [8D]

DaveG55

Now that is a stand!!!!!!

Very nicely done, profesional looking even. Very versitile and articulates seven-ways-from-Sunday and I'd bet folds to nearly nothing for transport too. Hands down one of the best stands I've seen in all the time I've been on RCU.
Unfortunatly, It's beyond the ability and means of about 98% of the people on this forum. Still, I'd bet you could sell a few - if it's not so labor intensive as to make it impracticle.

choppaholix

I almost forgot about my other lift toy.

TMaxxDriver

Are you kidding me?!?! where did you get THAT?!

I think i have seen them, long ago, but not recently...

nitro rc

heres mine, i made quickly. I need to make a new one though since the one i have now is pretty bad. I don't really use this one at all now.

TMaxxDriver

thats pretty similar to mine... but mine is 3 2x4's about a foot and half long screwed together...

kustomkb

that is cool!


thanks, it didnt take long to make but I only made one for myself because I stole the idea from a guy on ebay. He doesnt seem to have any for sale now tho'
