Is there a stand I can buy that these cats will fit on or do I need to make one? I seen guys using the rigid stand as a base on the baja forum and it got me thinking I need a stand getting sick of using old speaker boxes. Any tips or something I could buy would kick a$$
Stand?

Basicly looks like a tri-pod stand for a old movie projector.
"For display only"
Maybe camera tripod and make your own bracket.
Only use the plastic x-mass tree a few weeks, then main parts are a car stand ...

Lol I have been eying up the rigid stand that Lowe's or home depot sell for 29 bucks and then I would need to make a adapter to hold the trucks. I don't have a welder at this time. Speaking of that what kinda welder should I be looking at buying to.modify pipes and make cages and such.? A mig?

Some 110v welders work well, but also need gas bottle, wire, etc

For light welding, under 1/4" max, yeah...been a while on pricing, around $200ish..+/-?
Tig wlder would be best but thy are not cheap. Rigid stands work great. U can get parts trays that fit them . They make baja adapters but haven't seen one for tye redcats yet

the laptop stands with > < that shape work excellently, smaller vehicles fit in the v's and larger ones cover the top plate
of-course this method isn't as pretty to display but it is cheap and functional
you could also put a shelf on something like this:

and save the rest of your $80 for something car-performance related

I made a stand with parts from Home Depot that tilt's. It cost about $40 to make. Here is a picture of my XT on it. If you are interested I can snap some more pics and tell you what I bought.Derick

Here are the other pics. I spent in the ball park of $40. I just screwed the rails onto the platform 9 inches apart and that's it. The stand itself if heavy duty and rated for I believe up to 300 pounds or something crazy like that.rampagemt said:

seeing how i'd rather spend my limited hobby funds on hopups ether that or i'm just cheap i built stands for my m/t and d/r using milk crates. i picked up lazy susan bearings from lowes and mounted them between a couple of pieces of plywood then bolted that to the bottom of the milk crates add some scrap carpet and you've got yourself a stackable revolving work stand for about 7 bucks and the nice thing is when you go out bashing you flip it over and use it as a crate to carry all the crap you're gonna take with you.

Let me know what you think of it, after you get a chance to try it. They look really cool, just concerned of the stability if I threw the 5ive on it. I need three of what ever I buy.cherryride said:

I run a miller dynasty 200 DX for making and nodding all my pipes they work great. A MIG is not a good choice for nodding pipes. You can get wire burned into the inside of pipe finding its way into your engine .
