Y-Factor Stand

Extreme Standz Y-Factor Stand

Configuration


As I mentioned earlier, there are several different configuration methods you can assemble your Extreme Standz Y-Factor stand in. Below are some of the ones I found most useful.

The first one is basic. You simply assemble the ends and sides together with one of the spacers between each point where they connect. Then you can use the remaining two spacers to secure the parts tray to the stand itself, so it swivels in and out as needed.

This is shown in the example below, along with an example of a T-Maxx resting on the stand in this configuration.





Building upon the configuration above, you can use the two spacers that are on the parts tray and raise the back up. Place one of the spacers at each back corner. This puts the truck at an angle, making access easier. You could also use three spacers on the backside and none on the front, to increase the angle even further as shown below.




If you want to hold your truck by the chassis, the inner positions on the side runners allow this. The next two pictures demonstrate this, and show a T-Maxx being supported in this configuration.





Going back to the first configuration we used above, you can support your truck in an upside-down position. You'll notice that in this example the clearance between the aftermarket T-Maxx head, and the table is very small. With a stock T-Maxx head this isn't an issue. However some aftermarket heads may require you to support the truck at an angled position to avoid resting the head on your workbench or table.

With the T-Maxx and a MSJ Products Fridge head, I found it necessary to angle the T-Maxx in such a manner. I'm using two spacers at each back corner, and one at each front corner. The picture and close-up below document this.





As shown below the Extreme Standz Y-Factor stand will also work with other trucks such as the Traxxas Stampede.




Keep in mind that you can also push the opposite corners of the stand together to make it fit into a more narrow area as well. This can come in very handy for narrow trucks, or even those with a short wheelbase.
