Racenut, I race on a weekly basis at a carpet track on rubber tires. The absolute best rubber tires for carpet racing are the Take-Off 27's. Also, you will definetly need to use traction compound otherwise your car will be impossible to control regardless of your setup. Make sure you put on traction compound 5 minutes before going onto the track. When you're on the track, you can actually feel the traction compound slowly wearing off every lap you complete. Whatever your ride height is set at your an asphalt surface, lower the front and rear by 1mm, I reccomend 4mm in the front and 5mm in the rear. For springs, I use whites in the front and yellows in the rear and I have the adjustable shock dampening set in the middle for front and rear. Make sure you have 1.5 degrees of toe in on the rear wheels and negative 1 degrees camber. For the front I use .5 degrees toe in and negative 1 degrees camber. I have the bottom shock mounting positions for front and rear set at the stock position reccomended by the manual, however the front upper shock positions are in the middle and the rear upper shock positions is the middle row and the 3rd hole from the outside.
Wow, that was a pretty messy setup I just typed up, haha. I should really compile all of this onto a setup sheet.

Well, what wt oil are you using in your shocks, and how many hole open, are you using front and rear sway bars, and what about one-ways? Any other info would be help full, Thanks in advance.

The track recomends 5 mm ride height. Tire wise works good in Gilroy are Sorex 28 in the front, and 24 in the rear, and using red hpi inserts. So far those combination of tires and insert works the best, but Take off's 22 will work better then the 27 over here. The size of this track is as big as a "Ice Skating Ring" And so far I have been finishing top 3 in a while, and TQ 2 times, and won 2 times.

I'm running the normal 30wt stock oil in front and rear shocks, I have two holes open in the pistons, I am using only a rear swaybar, no front swaybar, and I am running a solid axle in the front with a solid layshaft and a rear ball diff. Using a one way is really a matter of personal preference and the type of track you're at... if you're on a very large wide open track then a one way is probably going to be your best bet, but on a small tight track with a lot of corners you'll probably want to run a diff in the front or a solid axle. Remember though, ALWAYS use a solid layshaft when using a front one day diff, and in some cases it should be used with a solid axle but not always.
