How is it supposed to bolt on?

Will they come in grey like their optional grey cylinder heads?

[Quinton]

Probably on the engine mounts.

Great product for the guys with extra engines laying around

[JeffEmbracedDC]

Seriously cool looking!

That'd make a heck of a hobby shop display.
Pretty cool. Wonder if it's against some r/c by-law to have a picco or a novarossi bolted to one :D

I like axial products, but I don't see the need for one of these, eccept if it's to display an engine in a hobby shop like rccardude said.

It says in the first post, "An ideal way to showcase your engine". But IMO the best way to do that is to drop the engine in a truck or car. Allthough they do look nicely crafted. I wouldn't mind having one of those banners to hang on my shop wall though.

Those stands are perfect for my shop, instead of having the motor out on it box in the display case we would put those axial's on the stand :)

that stand is worthless to anyone but a hobby shop owner.

I also hope they don't expect people to buy those banners just so they can give axial free advertising.

both worthless products imo.

I plan on buying one of those banners to hang in my room. I've got two Axial engines, two sets of their 8 spoke beadlocks, and will be purchasing more of their products in the future. Great products at great prices backed by great support? Ya...I'll advertise a little for them while spiffing up my place.

[rccardude04]

I think they should give you free banners. That's how advertising works :p
Heck, if it was like fullsize racing with a race shop and everything, they'd pay you to hang it and tell people how awesome their products are. :D
Pretty messed up if you ask me :p

These banners are high-quality banners that are too expensive to just give away to everyone. Axial and just about every other company sends out plenty of free banners to tracks, clubs, race events, magazine editors (hint), etc ...

I'm pretty sure the engine stands were first made for Axial's own display purposes. At shows and maybe in hobby stores. I know my first comment when I saw them at a show was "Hey, you guys should sell these."

The banners and the stands look cool; if you don't agree, don't buy them.

[RControl Freak]

still, it could make a cool mini frisbee..... but it really does look like a nag item

[Guys]

what is this use for ?
Just for car stand?
Show the engine on the Mount?

Agreed. Who spends hundred of dollars on their motors to LOOK at them? :confused:

[RControl Freak]

uh..... nobody that I know....

[Peterbilt]

I like the motor stand but I bet it costs way more than Id spend just to have my engine sitting around...

[rc411]

do what i do, i just use my empty grizzly tins as my engine stands. serves the same purpose.
