I would say when the surface is pretty smooth, no bumps under the carpet that would upset the vehicle and you feel you need to:

- remove some traction from that particular side of the vehicle want to add a swaybar to
- need the vehicle to stay flatter in the turns

The B6's starting setup is actually pretty good without the sway bars. When I had one and eventually settled on a swaybar setup, the biggest thing that helpedin combo with it was to use the yokomo carpet spring setup. They felt more consistent than the stiffer AE springs I was using.

Use 4wd front inserts in 4wd front tires.

Need starting spring and oil setup for carpet. Local track converted to carpet. Gray industrial carpet. Not yet open. 15-16 second lap times and technical small track. I drive a Kyosho Rb6.6. Compared to other buggies the rb6 seems to take about 2.5 less weight oil and average kyosho whites all around in clay. Pretty vanilla.

I need some carpet springs. I'm not going to buy a bunch of $20 Kyosho ones again, have those for 2 buggies on clay. Pretty sure the pink white and gold front and rears may be too soft for carpet? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm leaning towards Yokomo RP springs, maybe Yatabe. This a good idea? What are a good 3-4 springs to start with? need tips thanks

On gray Ozite with foam tires I'm using the Yatabe black front and orange rear springs on my RB6.6.

..wait.... slicks? You mean proline primes work? PRIME clay compound work with 4wd in carpet?

They are great choice - if a track doesn't allow the carpet-specific tires or requires slicks as per the rules. Otherwise, buy the Schumacher tires.

Anyone is the RP race performer yokomo new springs? Appear softer on paper. Having a difficult time finding orange yatabe springs. Thx

Yokomo's RP's are softer across the board than the Yatabe ones. That being said, most cars, regardless of brand, now use them on carpet in my area even if they initially seem too soft. They can flat-land jumps like no other spring on the market with no loss in corner speed. Start with orange f/r and work from there.

Anyone try the Pro-Line Z4 compound yet on the rug? Feedback relative to Schumacher yellow/blue or PL Z3.

Primes are the hot ticket at our track. Pins have way too much traction; you have to slow down too much with pins to avoid traction rolling (yes even with roll bars installed).

Primes allow you to carry more speed through the corners on our tight grey industrial carpet track. I use M4 compound instead of MC. They stick a bit better.

Primes are the only tyre allowed at our local. I traction roll...

We use slicks at the carpet track here. I like AKAs the best so far.

A lot of peeps at the U.K. Nationals, are putting in a rear insert into the wide cut staggers, helps to stop the side wall collapsing.

Also takes a bit of the viciousness out of them.

Or try a JConcepts Swagger, similar, but a much nicer tyre.
