As they are not a "hard" carpet tires, those are legal and he doesnt' sauce which is kind of nice.

Carpet is grey ozite mixed with something else, not sure what though as can be seen here:

For 2wd buggy, ,I am looking to use the one of the various 2wd front tires for carpet out there, but curious how does the jconcepts swagger compare to the schumacher wedge in yellow compound and do you run these without foams?

Also, would flip outs be an option for the rear that could be similar to the losi IFMAR pin I described?

Lastly, I wonder if a similar front and rear flip out setup on 4wd buggy would be an option too based on what i mentioned (right now using worn proline ions)
