Carpet setup for RC18FT
Hi, could anyone please give me some setup tips for a RC18FT buggy to race on carpet. I have just recently bought the buggy, trying something smaller for a change.
Basic upgrades I have done so far:

If lots of carpet, get some Gecko Foam Tyres (they are the shizzle). I think 32 or 35 compound for the RC18, but I am sure someone on here will correct me. Also add some weight, makes the car much more stable.

Depends on quality and quantity of carpet on the track. Poor dusty carpet, and lots of slippy/wood means schumacher yellow rally blocks are better normally. I always use gecko foams at my local club though (Hereford). The foams last a bit longer than the rubber tyres as well.
