Hiya there, If you really want to improve the original stand for just a few dollars there is an incredibly simple method, I think I've had three, maybe four of these over the years and while my latest one came very cheap without the flimsy "Tin Terror" the earlier ones had it,
My method is simply get two lengths of mild steel bar in the ball park of 2" x 1/4" or 50mm x 6mm, and long enough to bolt to the sides of the lower "foot" area of the tin stand, I bolted through the holes meant for the axle and extended the new side bars past the rear feet just by 3 to 4 inches and drilled new holes behind the stand for the original axle, this both stiffens the whole setup which is a great thing but puts the wheels further back under the motor which greatly reduces the tendency to flip over.

Whatever it is, do it today, Tomorrow may not be an option and regret outlasts fatigue.
