Part numbers for the donuts that perform very, very closely to the "pre assembled" Tamiya combo are Tamiya 84095 and 84096 and are much more reasonably priced even combined with a fresh set of wheels to go with them.
I've had my best days on carpet and asphalt with both of these options.

For the chassis kit for carpet, like he said and the tires that come with that 15th Anniversary rocket are also the tires to have, also known as Tamiya "pre assembled". Part numbers escape me right now as does the price but they aint cheap.

Mine is actually an F103RM (with several options needed/added) which comes with FRP chassis (fiberglass, thin/flexible) and short upper deck which rocks for extra grip on asphalt and is still good on carpet but for carpet specific the 15th anniversary with carbon fiber chassis (thicker/stiffer), long upper deck, all the aluminum tricks, wheels and tires of choice etc...all in one kit is still ideal.

So I have an F1R with the steering bell crank and every low friction option Tamiya part you can get. Would it be any good in a wide setup on foam? Just trying not to buy another F1 if I don't have to right now. Not that I don't WANT to. It's just that I'm adding a VTA car as well.

Can someone please tell me the benefits of using a trailing steering block setup ?
Would I be right that trail would promote more aggressive steering response ?
