T-Maxx Work Stand



Trying to work on your T-Maxx can be difficult at times due to having to balance the T-Maxx while wrenching on it. After having to do that a few times myself, I knew there had to be an easier way to work on my T-Maxx. So my mind went to work and developed a plan.

I went to Lowe's and picked up $5.00 worth of materials which consisted of:

  • 2 six foot sections of 1/2 inch PVC pipe
  • 8 1/2 PVC Tees
  • 8 1/2 PVC 90° Bends

Using the materials I constructed a stand to hold my T-Maxx either right-side up or upside-down while I worked on it as shown in the pictures below.











The stand itself is string enough to easily hold the T-Maxx after just pushing the fittings together. However for added strength, PVC pipe cement will strengthen it even more and eliminate any joints from working loose.

Below is a 3-D model of the T-Maxx stand, with measurements, so that you can make your own stand. I've made a few revisions to the plan after I constructed mine, so you may notice a few small differences. The vertical sections of the stand can be constructed to any length to suit your tastes. I feel that 10 inches long works well for me, but you may opt to make them shorter or longer.
