Not sure if it's allowed but there are 3+ levels of SXT. The MAX can help the VTA tires before they are broken in, but really shouldn't be necessary on the USGT tires. By any chance did you glue the sidewalls? I accidentally put a set of glued side walls in the rear and that was a drifting nightmare.

I thought gluing sidewalls has become standard practice for carpet?

Only the fronts. He accidentally put the glued tires on the rear and made his car into a drifter!

Lol Yep. Worst part was that it was only one side. It only drifted when I turned right. :lol:

I know with F1 it’s was front and rear. I only tired my VTA car couple times on carpet before outdoor started. Indoor starts back mid November.

Gluing the rear tires slightly can be beneficial when traction becomes ridiculously high on black carpet, but it does not take much glue on rear the sidewalls to cause drifts...
