Speed Champions Dyna-Stand [v2.0]

[Henchmen4Hire]

At some point we all try to make stands for the Speed Champions sets, yeah?

Here's my first attempt.

Version 2.0 is here and kicks Version 1's chassis to the curb!!

Features:

• Contact sections can rotate to accommodate vehicles of different wheelbases without having to disassemble anything.
• Ball-jointed base for maximum posing
• Beautiful, brutish design can be customized
• Added a spot to place a figure and plaque/decorations
• Uses inexpensive parts, hopefully?

 

Suggestions welcome!

Built!

A quick update-

I bought parts off Bricklink to build one or two of these, in the process I found that each stand, as shown, costs about $10-$15US in parts. I was hoping to only have to pay around $5 per stand, but it is what it is.

The bits that might be pricey are:

• Both LBG elements that make the "pistons".
• The black tips on the stand's "legs".
• The two black 1x3 liftarms
• The LBG/DBG elements that allow the ends of the platform to rotate.

You can definitely push down the price by replacing, color-swapping or leaving off some bits. And hacking into things is always an option, for example if a 4L Technic axle costs 20 cents, buy a 8L axle for 3 cents instead and simply snip it in half.

By the way, what's the most popular site for uploading your MOCs now? I want to share the instructions for this.

This looks cool! I can see myself building a few to have in front of my 'storage', if not too expensive

@jpx Thanks!

I got parts to build at least one stand today, I'll post later about how it holds up.

Mercifully the stand works and is mostly stable:

I'm glad I offset the ball-joint! It helps overcome the leverage the heavier car/platform has on the joint by placing the weight over it instead of too far out front.

I did screw up with one part though, the piece that cups the ball is supposed to connect to the base with axles, but the connection point I accidentally used is a pin instead. Luckily, the 4 black pins used to attach the "pistons" decorations stabilize the piece.
