Not always according to this weekend (30-31 juli) during the European Championships in Glostrup, Denmark. Corally Team drivers are using 2.4mm and 2.0mm chassis on that tarmac track. It also seems to be a wet weekend, so it will be recommended.

So only for carpet a chassis as stiff as possible is recommended and using foam tires. In Europe you don't see those thick chassis' with rubber tires. Foam tires aren't used much over here in Europe. For racing om carpet with a touring car mostly hand-out rubber tires are used during races. Like Sorex/Orion or CS-27.

I did, felt kinda weird. Had a bit more forward traction, but sidebite comming out of the corner wasnt there so it tended to kill the corner speed comming out of a corner a bit.

dawgmeat,

That is one of the things I have not tried yet. So far though, flat pins all-around has been faster than anything else I've used. If you want a really good mod carpet setup for lower bite, I've been perfecting one over the last month or so. Let me know.

This is the track were the carpet Nats. was held and about 30 racers every Thrusday so traction starts off low then picks up a lot, but anyway can you give the hook-up

Have you Jeff Brown ever thought about starting your own forum"Ask Jeff Brown" or "Ask Brain McGreevy"?

Can't wait to get my new chassis. Do you think it'll work on a indoor high-bite asphalt track with the standard top deck? -JB

Well, unlike Brian....... I am cool enough. LOL J/K. Most people would be like, "who the F*** is Jeff Brown?" At this rate this thread has become that in a sense. Ask away........ hehe.
