These stands are specific to the Tamiya Grasshopper and Hornet. They support the car at the gear box and front suspension arms and lift the car about 1/2 inch off the ground.
Sold as a set (front & rear). The quantity listed are ready to ship. I can always make more. Just message me and I'll increase the quantity available.
I created these stands to help solve the issue of tire damage when models are stored or on display for long periods of time. These simple stands are laser cut from 1/4” plywood, easy to assemble, and can by left as is or finished in a variety of ways.
Assembly
Paint/Finishing
- It’s best to assemble the stands before finishing to avoid any fitment issues
- Almost any type of finish can be used but... a stain blocking primer is required to cover the “burned” edges or they may bleed through paint
If the pieces won’t fit together (This shouldn’t happen, but I suppose it’s possible)
- A little sanding will always do the trick
- Try inserting the piece through the other side (noting directional orientation if required). The hole will be slightly larger on the side where the laser penetrated first
- You can try tapping the pieces together using a hammer and a flat surface but do not apply heavy pressure outside of the tabbed areas.
NOTE: Any aftermarket or tire modification to the model may affect fitment. (Obviously the car is not included.)
