I have a few of these aluminum stands that I repurposed for my RCs:

Here's another idea for stands. I was at the Dollarama today and picked up these clear acrylic containers for a buck each. I removed the "Made in China" stickers after warming them up with a hair dryer and attached some foam tape along the two long sides. They stand out a bit less than the Tupperware containers, but still aren't my idea of perfect stands. But they're stable and just about the right height. I'm still on the lookout for materials for something better, but these will do just fine in the meantime.

I just let mine sit on the tires without stands. I probably should do something different though.

The stands help prevent the tires from developing flat spots from extended periods without being run. :)

Sorry for the late reply, it's a new Composite Craft chassis, See my '91 worlds build thread in the buggy forum.
I have since removed the RCCarbon works decals since I removed most of their parts from the car. I sourced more correct carbon towers for this car from our RC10Talk community 8)

Thanks
