Hey guys I'm going to be getting a MI2EC real soon and was wanting to know a good setup for rubber/carpet. I would of got a MI3 but since its been over 10 years since I raced carpet I fugred I would go cheap to get back into it for now. How hard would it be to setup up to run stock and 19t with the same chass? Just switch motors or would I need to mess with the setup. I have been racing offroad 1/10th and my MGT so this should be a fun learning curve lol. I almost forgot the track I'm going to race at doesnt carry schumacher parts so I was wondering what spares I should buy first hand to start with because everyone there mainly races Xrays and I hate to be trendy lol. Thanks in advance.

Theres a link to a rubber carpet 19t setup. For spares i would get driveshaft blades, a few pares of c-hubs and a pair of front and rear wishbones and a front and rear belt. In a year of running i have never broken any other parts than the ones listed and i am known to be a durability tester
hope this helps

I'm going to start running carpet late this month. I should have today the extra stiff upper deck. I will get a Mohawk body. I run at "The Track" Gaithersburg, MD. medium bite carpet most of the time. I guess I should order 1 degree rear hubs and the lowered shock towers yet.
I have one more big asphalt race left at the end of the month. Then to carpet.

MI-3
I just wanted to see if anyone in the Schui thread is interested...
I'm selling off my MI-3 with parts.

much needed? nah, but so far i like the roll centers (hingepin heights) 1mm higher than listed when using the pro-53's. this helps give a little more camber gain as well which seems good in low bite or if you drop dampening. i think you can do xray33# up front after this change, especially for mod. maybe even a step softer (schu purple).
that's all i got for now. that should all be close depending on execution.

Congrats to Marc McGurren, Mr. Mcgoo for wheeling the Mi3 to a TQ and *almost* win today! Now if they just made a 38.75 tooth pinion to keep him from thermaling 10ft from the finishline we could take the *almost* out!! This schui is unreal on carpet!!

I had great results again today at the club race with a TQ and win in mod. Seems like I make a ton of changes to the car and keep going back to my exact Reedy Race setup, guess I got it right the first time, lol.

Hello Randy good job with the tq and win ...I am looking at your ROAR Nats setup sheet u didn't list what track rod u used also did u use the alum rear hubs with the insert if so what 1 from the looks of it it would be 1.5deg..How do u feel this setup will work on low bite carpet 19t rubber..in the driver notes u run a 414 front drive pully can u tell me more about why..I also now see u used the med width/short steering plate i assume it is the 2nd plate but u didn't check it thanks for your help I will be running it soon and I want to know how to interpret the set-up sheets!

I can tell you the 414 pulley is 1 tooth smaller than the stock pulleys. It allows the front tires to be overdriven. It usually give a lot of steering. Something Losi does on their cars.
