Model Car Big Block Nitro Engine Stand (3D printed)

thingiverse

This engine stand was designed for displaying model nitro engines on furniture and in the pits at the track, however could also be used for maintenance as it is relatively sturdy. It should fit all .21 and .28...(ect) sized big block nitro engines (with or without pullstarts/rotostarts) for model cars such as those in racing buggies. The stand features some angled cut outs for aesthetic appeal as well as an angry piston and my signature. The stand has mounting screw holes (m3x10) however they are not tapped. You can use brass thread inserts to create a thread to screw the engine into if you wish to use this stand for maintenance however for displaying this is not necessary as the engine sits just fine on top of the stand without screws. If 3D printed, this stand cannot mount a running engine as the plastic will melt. Designed in onshape by myself. Update: I have added a "V3" model (it is not pictured as i have not printed one myself yet) with some tweaks and additions for aesthetics. There was no "V2" since V2 is the original one posted. V1 was never published.
