Excellent point, since my comment offends some, it's a better choice anyway. I surely wouldn't want to get in trouble/banned for saying SWEAT SHOP and LOSI in the same sentence on a PUBLIC forum when it's only a opinion. Slander, Meh.

We tend to use the thickest front and the thinnest rear. I have tried it without a rear but then it doesn not roll togetehr well (front to rear). A thick rear sway would be for soemthing like carpet racing if you want more steering. It will tend to make the rear end slide more rather than grab and roll over.

Which one would be good for an indoor, pretty packed track?

Probably the OCRC one by Ryan would be a good starting point for an indoor track.

Best bet is to go to the track and see what the fast guys are running . Each track is different .
