It is quite a sweet looking work station, and in the past, I used a pana 301 hobby vice for my nitro rustler, which is the same principle, and it was awesome. You really can't use a vice with an 1/8 scale because of the mud guards. This solves that issue. my issue with this work station was the inability to get to the bottom chassis screws!!! But, now with the new XL "X" plate, you should be able to get to almost everything but the middle diff. I may grab one.

I watched a video recently with a prototype plate system they have been working on that is quick change

so i decided to email with questions to Randy this week and got the privilege to speak with him this morning. During the week he mentioned in the email dialogue that we had some things to talk about and to give him a call when i was ready. he was very helpful, entering the call conversation I had one direction of what i wanted in mind and after talking with him i went another way which would be of more benefit. I was in a hurry on the phone call as i needed to shower, eat and dress and get on the road for work but, he made sure i was comfortable with what i needed to do.
he has a new base stand that i actually like over what i see in prior photos, it seems more functional for me over "that is pretty" factor.
it is called the "Pro" version
he has a package promotion going on for the Pro version
the best help he provided prior to ordering was cutting some paper to size for each plate then placing my rc cars and helis on them to see which plates i would need
from the website
"The Pro Series comes with the new quick release, 2 top plates, 8 locators, 4 adjustable locking tabs, 2 shock holders, and custom engraving. Comes in Black or Silver only." for $225.00 and 15.00 shipping to me in Utah
yeah its expensive but it is from billet from what i see and actually cut on his cnc machines, but the package promotion makes it reasonable in my opinion. ill share some photos of it when it comes and it sure looks like it will be handy for my beam e4 and protos 500 rc heli besides all my rc cars

I never seen this thing before. but i swear this idea came to me about a year ago to make something like this. if only I had my own cnc router or machine. they'd never let me make stuff at work. lol I have made small parts for my cars on my lunch breaks before but I'd never have the time for that stand.
it's really a cool product. I may be up to getting one in the future. for now I have to stick to my $10 jconcepts stand lol

here are some pics of the new base and the quick release system
and of course the boring old here is what is in the box and how it is protected during shipping photo
my name and email engraving is on it. not too visible as i chose the pure billet aluminum look. im gonna go batty if i drop a tool or something on the black base and scratch it and see the scratch for life

I dunno i can work on my cars just fine with a duratrax car stand, I think I'd rather spend my money on the Hudy Setup Station.

Ain't nothing wrong with using a Duratrax stand.

Anyone using it for 1/8 onroad cars? for the same $$$ I am seriously considering a Panavise setup with plates, vise, Base and other accessories which won't be as fancy but a lot more versatile for many other uses....still I can't totally forget this stand as it looks killer
Have so many cars, buggies and helis can't decide between this and the Panavise

TTT. I have never seen one of these in the wild. Are they still in business? I can’t get anything in my cart on their website.
