    Spare chassis re engineered strengthening to prevent the stock chassis from cracking during hard racing use which they do on occasion...

    The others are set up stands.

    Yes. It stiffens the chassis and helps prevent the rear chassis castings from cracking which under hard racing use they can. We also engineered another set for a different weak point.
