Cheer, comrades!
There is always a time when you are getting tired of something. For me it was another time I wanted to do some work with my chassis. I’m tired of using boxes or tires for keeping my chassis in place while I mess about with wrench and screwdrivers. Twitching for grabbing the chassis while it wants to slide somewhere is my general routine for several years in RC.
Meanwhile I wasn’t satisfied with roundabout types of chassis stands. I had to catch some balance to keep chassis in place and excessively pressed when both of my hands were busy with instrument.
But never again!
Behold! There is my maintenance post! I designed it for using with both of my chassis scales.
Both of black sides made of 6mm thick polyamide, which was milled with CNC bench. Cross rods made of polyamide using manual lathe. Foundation of the post and legs are aluminum square tubes with sides of 20mm and 2mm wall thickness. Open spaces of tubes supposed to be sealed with 3-D printed rubber plugs.
Auxiliary legs hold up in upper position generally which gives me about 100mm height of the post. Even in this stance 6S Kraton can be hold in place with all wheels on. Auxiliary legs provide about 80mm of additional height, so wheels of 8S Outcast dangle in the air either. I suggest with this kind of peculiarity it can be also used like showcase stand.
I have in mind some improvements for having the opportunity to hold shock absorbers vertically for oils changing or hold screwdrivers every time the post in idle. I suppose it like small workbench for my RC garage.
Sure, it has some flaw so I open for any advises. Maybe someone of you can use my experience for your own sake to create better tools to protrude our hobby slightly further.
Good luck during your rides!
