As far as adaptable hubs... Why not have a center hole the std size for truggy wheel hubs (10mm or whatever it is) as must trugs can just be put on there. I thought 23mm hubs had the same hole as well.

For savage or revo axles: Create a 6mmx10mm bushing that inserts into the hole, and then the axels can slip into. A recess or hole for a crosspin would be useful. Also, if the revo is using Ofna or Maximizer adapters, no need for the bushings. Trx has a simple 5mmx6mm sleeve for the Jato wheels that can be slipped over the smaller 5mm axles to fit into the bushings. Or just have short sections of 6x5mm stainless tubing cut.

Lastly the top plate can have a expandable/collapsible center section w/ hash marks on the L and R to line up for different veh widths, and then just locked down w/ thumbscrews. See, sounds like originality already!

If Mike/whomever interested could make for $75-$100, that would be great. Less even better. A setup station is a great little tool, but the Hudy's are too $$ for most casual people to get, short on stock most times it seems, and just a bit too much for everyday guys.
