Abstract

The remote control car support apparatus supports a remote control (RC) car. The height of the apparatus can be adjusted for a total height of up to 16 inches. The length of the apparatus can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of RC cars, from about 1/10th scale to about ⅕th scale, with an overall length adjustable up to about 27 inches. The apparatus features a total width of about 12 inches so that an RC car is not likely to tumble over when held. The apparatus provides for a full 360 degrees of rotation of a car, with the rotation locked in position as chosen. With these features, all facets of an RC car are accessible, allowing a hobbyist to work on the car as chosen. The plurality of mount holes in the adjustably positioned mounts allow for a car to be held to the apparatus as chosen.
