This is the best car stand in the market, hands down. It turns, but has a ball bearing assembly, and a mechanism that holds it in 8 positions. It can hold a variety of shock body sizes, has a magnet tray, and even a jig built in it for soldering connectors. Extremely high quality. I absolutely love this thing.
The spring design with the metal ball isn't ideal as a locking mechanism. The ball kept falling out and eventually got lost making the stand frustrating to use. Don't recommend it for 1/8th vehicles.
Kyosho quality is great and this work stand proves it. Has a built in magnet tray and shock holder. The turn table part is spring loaded so it stays in place. You won't be chasing you project around in circles. You can take out the spring if you want it to spin freely. Soft pads on the bottom and foam on top. I love this stand!!! Great buy!!!
Reviewers generally praise the Kyosho Maintenance Stand (High) for its build quality and feature set, including a rotating turntable, a multi-position locking mechanism, a magnet tray, a shock holder and a built-in soldering jig. Two of the three reviews are highly positive. The one dissenting review, from a 3/5 rating, criticises the spring-loaded metal ball locking mechanism, which reportedly fell out and was lost, and advises against using the stand for 1/8th scale vehicles. The reviews do not clearly agree on how well the locking mechanism works, and the sample is small.
