Hi Hispeedguy,
you are right. Upper edges and complete sidewall are glued.
As epecially the S-Grips in the newer batches have a very soft compound,
sidewalls are too weak to take the side forces on high grip carpet without tucking under. Maybe thatīs also the reason, why Tamiya released a super hard foam insert (Tamiya 54590). I just oticed this week, usually I use the hard 53255 since some years.
You should try the glue, it will cure your problems, Iīm sure.
The M06 is the "M" which is traction rolling at last, after M03, and M05, thatīs my experience with similar conditions and unglued side walls.
If you look 2 or 3 pages back, you can find my LWB carpet setup, where I also mention the glued sidewalls...

Br,
Matthias
