If I wanted to run a 2wd buggy on an outdoor clay tracks in Florida where its summer 3/4 of the year? Would I be able to use a carpet car or would I be better off with a dirt car?
the reason I ask is most of the club level guys I've spoken to run the AE cars and non of the use the dirt version.

Anyone run a slipper eliminator on dirt? If so do they have tendency to spin out more?

Guys,
Few things I have been doing to improve the car for me over the past few months or so. It is a std XB2 19 Carpet Spec car, Euro version. So I have the adjustable drive shafts axles. To make the car less agressive around centre I have installed B6.1 graphite front arms, needs a little shimming and the outboard hinge pin needs around 1 or 2 mm shaving of the length to get a good fit and hold in well on the arms. The area where the shock ends go into needs opening up also to allow the std xray rod ends to fit(takes a few seconds with a file to open it up) Rear has XB4 rear arms, these seem to be pretty standard on most set ups in the UK.
The biggest change is I got hold of a battery holding system that was designed for the Cougar Laydown(designed and made by a local guy in the UK, thanks for the system Andy Shillito), and it fitted nicely. Just needed a little fettling with a file to get it to move further back with a file. Nothing major at all.
Attatched is my car as it came off the track at the last race I did on grass. Water fall etc emoved to get more rear flex, this really worked and with the new battery system it wasnt needed.
Any questions please ask me. I must stress this car was set up for Grass track in the UK using Schumacher Yellow Cut Staggers on front and Yellow Mini Spikes on the rear, and the set up worked for me.
Any questions please ask me

30/69 is about as high as I gear for most tracks. I have ran as low as 28/78.
Start with something in the middle and check esc & motor temps and how it is handling the track.

AE wheels on the rear
So what's the final answer on using AE wheels on the rear, keeping the correct track width? Sorry if it has been asked multiple times, I looked thorough all the XB2 '18 pages and got confused. I understand that with AE wheels and the 4.5 wide hexes end up being too narrow, but can it be done?
