Coming from VSR Products and made for the popular Team Orion Duo Charger is a pair of stands to improve display visibility. Using the feet extensions in addition to the stock integrated feet allow the charger to stand at a more visible angle when sitting in the pit or shop area.

The Type B 7mm support is usable with the Mugen MBX8 buggy exclusively. Using the manifold support ensures the exhaust system will move less when going over rough parts of the track or when bottoming out after landing a jump, which results in a lot less stress on all exhaust and engine components and thus improve longevity. The supports include suitable mounting hardware.
