Yeah Racing 1/10 crawler car stand

Yeah Racing have introduced their new car stand for 1/10th scale crawlers and other off-road vehicles. The swivel tube design allows to rotate the crawler and work on it from multiple angles while the overall height ensures the tyres do not touch the ground even when having a rig with huge suspension down travel. The stand is constructed from lightweight aluminium and it comes with foam tape which prevents the crawler from slipping around whilst on top of the stand.
