I'm pretty new to all this mini stuff, but I mounted up a set of Tamiya M-Grip radials front and rear with the firm insert up front and the soft insert out back.

I've been VERY happy with this setup on our low to medium grip carpet, although I find I have to be very smooth with the inputs and drive good lines. If I'm too abrupt with steering inputs the car tends to traction roll.

I'm going to try double stuffing the fronts next to see if I can firm them up to take just a touch of traction out of the front end.

Hope that helps!

Mike

In this other competition, tyres are open. which tyres do you guys reckon I should get to run on a carpet track with low to medium grip?
