Carpet setup for RC18FT

[Nolan BJ4WE]

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:

Graphite chassis by 3racing
and alu. steering upgrade.
Any further help would be much appriciated!!

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.

I have added 37 shore Gecko tyres - front and rear....but some else told me to go for Rally blocks(?):confused:

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.
