This is the setup I ran for the main at the Halloween Classic.
I needed to get the car to rotate the corner better to keep up corner speed. This is the best it was all weekend.

Congratulations, you made a strong comeback from behind to win your main. I spoke to you right after while you marshalled

Anti roll bars....pro or con?
Never really used them on any of my cars but now with the Mi3 I noticed that about 50%+ of the racers use them. What is the general though when running rubber on carpet. Use them or not, if so both front and rear?

I prefer not to use sway bars on carpet; rubber tire or foam. IMHO it is just one more potential area to break or get out of whack and cause issues. I like to find other means of correcting my set up.

Not to say Andrew doesn't have a valid point, but I've always run roll bars for any setup in any condition. I feel the car is more consistent with them and most of the time when I've taken them off the car doesn't straighten up out of the corner like I want it to. Without them it gives me the feeling like my oil is way too heavy so the car feels like it keeps turning out of the corner when I want it to straighten out (this could be in part because I really like my car to straighten out on power, I want to do the steering on power with the wheel, not the tendency of the suspension). This could be compensated for with other setup changes, but I like having the sway bar as another adjustment to work with. They are one more thing to fuss with, but once you know how to get them right then I find them beneficial to my setup technique.
