I was thinking about getting thumb screws that fit the chassis and put enough washers on it to get the tires off the platform . This way you can display them while you race the others

What I was going to do , is reuse the box and platform they came in but use a few washers between the car and platform , just like have the car on jack stands , then put the plastic lid back on

I use old mousepads. Cut them up so that they are just about as wide as the base of a car between the wheels. Tires aren't touching anything.

Mostly on their sides because you can get more in a box. Others sat on their wheels on bubble wrap, no pressure on the tyres and the chassis is supported.
