Carpet setup
Reading through this topic was quite interesting, with a lot of arguements about the SS rear arms
anyway, I've just recieved a new TB01, is still kit standars and was wondering what setup would be the best for a high grip carpet track
also what are the hop up options that I should get to make the car competitive in silver 540 racing?
Thanks

Well after some time on the car with the new suspension, I am going back to the old suspension, at least the arms. I cant keep buying inner hinge pins to replace the bent ones. With the new arms I have like 12 mm of shims on the arms to adjust wheel base. I think this is too much. I may try using the new uprights on the old arms to see how that works.

John... I have a feeling the new parts are just for bling bling (actually, I find the design a bit "cheesy" IMO)... once you see the pic, you'll probably agree with me. I'm still hoping Tamiya makes a carbon graphite version of their current plastic tub.
