I know its still kind of early but the new nexus racing indoor carpet track is opening soon and I will need to convert my setup from asphalt rubber to carpet rubber. Anybody have any suggestions on where I should start or how much I may need to change my setup?

Actually, out of the box, its setup for stock racing, 13.5 or 11.5 brushless.. 27T or 23T brushed because of internal ratio is lower = 2.175. Maximum spur gear can be used is 105T or get the optional brushless motor mount for open mod racing if you want to use bigger spur up to 110T..

Anybody able to gear for 3.5T brushless without using the optional brushless motor mount? I have the mamba 6900 system and final drive ratio required is around 9.0.. I want to use 116/28 spur/pinion combination..

Ive also tried you setup indoors on carpet on my WCE edition, but ive fitted the new arms and the carpet top deck.
i run the HB C Class body and reduced the droop as CCF man too 5mm all round
1st run i ran sorex 36r like you and found the car a bit understeery on power.
2nd run raised front droop to 6mm and fitted a well used set of sorex 32r, made car bit tail happy but quicker.
3rd run dropped front droop back to 5mm this calmed car down a lot.

Final i realised i had the wrong front arm spacing, with arms forward
changed as per your setup to arms back, this made the car real tail happy and very sideways out of corners.
Maybe you do this due to the less physical grip of the 36r tyre.
Are the TC tower holes the same as the WCE towers.

The sorex 36R is NOT a carpet tire. I've never had good luck with these. I run on a highly abrasive indoor asphalt track that is hard on tires, so we run sorex 36R's so they actually hold up through a run. The track also has very very high traction. Personally I prefer sorex 28R's on carpet.

So it sounds like most of your problems are coming from an improper tire for the track surface. If you have to use the sorex 32R's, then try and just soften up the car a bit. Angling the camber links (fewer shims on the inner pivots) will create more mechanical grip overall. Maybe even ad a little more rear toe in.

I'm not 100% sure on the TC shock towers having the same positions as the WCE. I do know that the TC shock towers are thicker, and they are slightly lower to accommodate the taller upper bulkheads.

WCE and TC Shock Towers are definately different. They have different mounting holes for the lower TC Upper Bulkheads.

cheers i ment the the holes for shock mounting are they in same places.
I know the TC uses lower shock towers an shorter bodied shocks
korey i ment to say i use 3.0 rear toe and 1.5 front block.

Speaking of optional brushless motor mount - anyone know the part number for this??

I remember seeing it before, but the last time I looked I didn't see a motor mount "tagged" as a brushless one

cyclone speed

is this what you are looking for

I ran my mamba 7700 with the stock motor mount with 109/27 for more then a year. I've had the brushless motor mount for more then a year as well and with that 114 has plenty of room. I think you can use 117 and still have room, you will have to take some off the rear top plate. I use 16t pullys for my 7700 outdoor and 18t pullys indoor carpet with my 4600, All with rubber tires.

could anyone tell me what difference will it make if i use 1.5 toe block front instead of 2.5 .

Also when i measure the droop on my car when its written 5mm on my droop gauge the car has only 2mm of uptravel
Thamks in advance

The more front sweep you have the more aggresive the steering becomes.

Back when we could run any tire we wanted on carpet we never ran Sorex 36's. Set up decided what tire was going to be run.....what I mean by that was 95% of the guys ran Sorex 32's in front and 28 in the rear. This gave the car a very good balance with a oneway installed. If your set up pushed slightly but you didn't want to change anything on the car you changed tire's and ran the same compound front and rear. It was either all 28's or all 32's to get the car to rotate better. I mostly ran hpi red inserts or a Sorex firm A in all my tire's. We have had premounts for so long we forgot what use to be the go to tire insert combo....
